Drag an icon onto a staff.

Tips
  • Clefs and time signatures always go at the start of a line.
  • While dragging a note, move up and down to pick the pitch. Hold Shift for a sharp or Ctrl for a flat.
  • Drop ♯ / ♭ next to a note to give it that accidental. Drop them in the dashed box after the clef to build a key signature — they snap to lines and spaces, and you can add as many as you like.
  • Changing the clef keeps every note at the same pitch.
  • Bar lines are added automatically. Each line holds up to 8 measures.
  • To copy notes: select them by holding the left mouse button and dragging sideways across them (or click the first note, then Shift+click the last; Cmd+click adds or removes one note), press Copy, click a measure (or the space after the last note), then press Paste.
  • To make parts for other instruments: end the music with a double bar, then use Parts for other instruments below the last page. Pick which instrument the music is for, tick the others, and press Add parts. Each part starts on its own page with the title and the instrument's name, in its own clef and octave (viola at the violin's pitch, cello and bass an octave lower). Update parts writes them again after you change the first part.
  • For more space between the staffs, pick a wider Staff spacing (above the page): fewer staffs go on each page and they spread out to fill it. The music moves onto the new layout, adding pages if needed.
  • Set Quantity to drop several of the same note or rest at once.
  • Pick Triplet in the Note list for three notes in the time of one quarter note. Drop it, then drag each note (or use ↑ ↓) to set its pitch. Deleting or copying one triplet note takes the whole group.
  • Eighth pair drops two eighth notes joined by a beam; they stay together like a triplet.
  • Sixteenth group drops four sixteenth notes joined by a double beam (one beat), kept together the same way.
  • Drop an Extras down or up bow on a note to add it above that note. A bow lift goes to the right of a note; on a rest, drop it over the rest to put it above, or just past it to put it on the right. Drop a slur between two notes. Dropping the same marker again removes it.
  • Drop a Finger Numbers number (0–4) on a note to put it below that note. Dropping the same number again removes it, and so does dropping None; the Selected panel can change it.
  • With Staccato (in Notes) ticked, new notes get a staccato dot.
  • Delete removes the selection, ← → move between notes, Ctrl+Z undoes.
