I use this one: https://mnemosyne-proj.org The other one that is usually recommended, and that I've also used in the past, is this one: https://apps.ankiweb.net They're both open-source apps that use an older version of the "SuperMemo" algorithm, so if you want the more up-to-date but proprietary version, it would be here: https://www.supermemo.com Basically you make your own question and answer cards to help memorize. Once you have your cards, it works basically like a quizz. The software will show you the question first. You answer and then check against the answer you'd written down when making the card at the beginning. As such it's not different from flashcards you'd make at school, or even just hiding one side of a vocabulary list with a sheet of paper or whatever. The interesting part is the "spaced repetition". The card will show up in your list at increasingly large intervals. The first time I answer a card, it will show up at n+1 (the next day). When I answer it the second time the interval will be longer, like n+2. The third time maybe n+4. etc. (not the real figures, just giving those as example). When you answer the card, you also rate how difficult the question was (on mnemosyne it's from 0 to 5). That rating will have an impact on the interval after which the card will appear again. (The interval always increases, but if you rate a question as difficult, the interval will increase less than if you rate it as easy). I don't think there's an upper limit to the duration of these intervals, so theoretically you can just keep going until the interval is longer than the amount of years you have left to live. ^^ I use it for retaining vocabulary words, phrases, expressions and sometimes full sentences and I've found it quite effective. I figure it might also work with memorizing musical ideas or pieces. The only thing with falsetas I guess is that you'd have to find a way to formulate the question without already giving the answer. So you would have to label each falseta and remember what the label is. I guess you could always put a sound sample as the question, but then you would just be focusing on remembering how to play that falseta and not on recalling the whole falseta from scratch.
