Cleaner sheet music: rests, ties and beaming

We went through the way scores are laid out and fixed the small things that add up to a big difference in readability.

  • Rests now show where they belong, so the rhythm is clear
  • Ties connect the notes they should — and only those notes
  • Runs of short notes are beamed together by beat instead of floating apart
  • Chords across voices are grouped cleanly with shared stems

Nothing for you to do — every score you open now benefits from it.
