Non-musician-friendly score reader/player web app for batucada crews.

Main facts:
- Batucada is fun.
- There's a lot of songs.
- It's sometimes difficult to remember all of them, with their different variations.
- Newer students can take longer to catch up if they can only learn by playing.
- Students training to become directors need to memorize the sequences of the sections in each score, and (ideally) what each instrument is playing in each section.
- Music notation has helped us since long ago, we could give it a try.
- Music scores are perfect... but not everybody knows how to read them.
With these in mind I tried to find a software solution to have a way to share scores with my batucada crew (btu-K forever!!! ❤️❤️❤️) but nothing seemed to fit.
So... hands on the keyboard!
What I wanted to achieve:
- Keep all of my crew's scores together in one place.
- Be able to keep our kid's scores in a separate place for them.
- Super-easy entry level for users.
- No need to install anything.
- Available from any device, from anywhere.
- Able to play the audio of what you see, in order to better understand it.
- As-easy-as-can-be entry level for administrators/maintainers.
- No need for complicated installations and dependencies (pure HTML/css/js).
- Easy-to-write score files.
- Easy-to-mantain crew packs.
- Easy-to-mantain instrument packs.
So far I think Batukeitor can fill this gaps for my crew, and maybe for yours too... enjoy it!
