Pitch Scoring

Nightingale includes real-time pitch scoring to gamify the karaoke experience.

How It Works

1. Microphone input — select your microphone and toggle it on with M
2. Pitch detection — your vocal pitch is analyzed in real-time
3. Comparison — your pitch is compared against the reference vocal track
4. Scoring — accuracy is tracked throughout the song

Star Ratings

At the end of each song, you receive a star rating based on your overall pitch accuracy. Ratings are saved to your profile’s scoreboard.

Results

The results screen appears at the end of a song whenever your score is above 0. If an active profile is set, the score is saved to the leaderboard.

Microphone Selection

• Press M to toggle the microphone on/off
• Press N to cycle through available microphones
• Press R to toggle mic mirroring during playback
• You can also select a preferred microphone in Settings
• The active microphone is shown in the HUD during playback

Per-Song Scoreboards

Each song maintains a scoreboard of past performances. Scores are tracked per profile, so multiple singers can compete on the same songs.
