Question

I want to create a presentation - a song with background images, intended to be shown the day after Tisha B'Av. It is a song about tears and the building of the Temple. Personally, I cry when I edit it, but for editing, I need to listen to the songs playing in the background repeatedly to synchronize the display with the song. Is it permissible/appropriate during the Nine Days? I should note that I play the song for myself at a very low volume. Thank you.

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

You are permitted to listen to the melody in order to perform the necessary work.

Since the purpose is not to enjoy the melody.
