· Compare interval sizes
· Sing the intervals the computer asks for
· Identify chords
· Sing chords
· Scales
· Dictation

The program is portable. Versions of Solfege has ran on recent releases of Debian, Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, FreeBSD 4.2, MS Windows 95/98/2000/XP and MacOSX. It should be easy to make the program run on any unix like operating system, for example Solaris or BeOS, if you have gtk+, python and pygtk installed. The old MacOS will not work because gtk+ and pygtk is not ported to that OS.
