note-perfect
Every tone correct
Note-perfect describes a musical performance executed without any wrong notes—technically flawless.
The term extends to any performance delivered exactly as written or rehearsed: Her recitation was note-perfect.
British English sometimes uses the variant word-perfect for memorized text.
Note-perfect emphasizes precision but says nothing about interpretation or feeling.
