## Description

Choir Rehearsal helps choir members learn new pieces by voice part.

 * Create songs and attach unlimited voice tracks
 * Built-in voice list: backing track, bass, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano, other
 * Upload MP3/WAV files from the Media Library
 * Attach a PDF score per song with page-by-page viewer
 * Frontend song list at `/rehearsal/`
 * Sticky HTML5 player at the bottom of the page
 * Optional login-only access
 * REST API and MCP abilities for automation

### External services

This plugin does not require external services to work. Song data, audio, and PDF
scores stay on your WordPress site.

Optional documentation link in Settings may open [rehearsal.compath.ee](https://rehearsal.compath.ee/)(
Compath OÜ) for help and changelog. No site or user data is sent unless you open
that page in your browser.

PDF viewing uses **Mozilla PDF.js** bundled inside the plugin (Apache-2.0). No PDF.
js CDN calls are made.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/compath-choir-rehearsal`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to **Choir Rehearsal  Add Song**
 4. Add voice tracks and upload audio files
 5. Share `/rehearsal/` with logged-in singers

## FAQ

### Who can view rehearsal pages?

Rehearsal  Settings**.

Yes. Use the shortcode `[choir_rehearsal]`.
