Sight Reading Exercises on a computer??

[pi_r_squared]

ok, I'm still a newbie bassist, plated guitar (mostly rythm stuff) for 30 years or so. Play bass in our church praise team now.

Our guitarists don't read music, so the music director for our praise team supplies 'cheat sheets' (lyric sheets with notes or chords above the lyrics).

I need to go back to reading the music, so I have access to the whole bass line, not just the roots. I learned to read music as a kid (all treble clef). I can still do it, just not in 'real time'. It's more like 'deciphering music' than 'reading music'.

I think I know exactly what I'm looking for, but can't find it. I want a computer program than shows me a bass staff, with a note, or sequence of notes on the staff, gives me a second or two to play it, then plays it so I can hear if I was right, and continues over and over for different notes or combinations of notes.

It could be expanded to ear training by playing a short line and then letting me try the same thing.

I'm not looking for the computer to tell me if I was correct or not, I figure I can just hear that for myself.

Does such a program exist? I found some sightreading 'flashcard' programs online, but they're geared more toward piano, only one note at a time, and you have to click a button for each new note.

Anyone know of anything like this? or do I have do dig out my old visual basic stuff and write one myself (groan...).

Jalmus immediately springs to mind, though maybe you have come across this before?
Note reading in learning mode may be part of what you're looking for; notes appear one at a time on the screen (tempo is somewhat adjustable) and sound as they appear (not after a few seconds).
Either way, it's free.
