Editing your score

Opening the editor

Open a transcription and choose Edit score, or click the Edit button in the score viewer. You’ll land in the editor with three parts: the toolbar across the top, the score in the middle, and a piano keyboard along the bottom.

The interface

• Toolbar — note values (whole, half, quarter, eighth, 16th) and dots, accidentals (♯ / ♭ / ♮), add & delete, clef and time-signature changes, undo/redo, and play.
• Score — click a note to select it; the note highlights and the keyboard lights its pitch.
• Keyboard — shows you the exact pitch of the selected note in sky-blue, and flashes orange during playback.

Selecting and changing notes

• Click a note to select it.
• Drag a note up or down to change its pitch, or use the ↑ / ↓ arrow keys to nudge it step by step.
• Set its length from the toolbar, add a dot, or toggle it to a rest and back.
• Undo / redo anything — experiment freely.

Adding notes — press Esc

Press Esc to switch into add-mode. A faint “ghost” note now follows your cursor across the staff, showing the pitch you’re about to place — and the keyboard lights that key. Move to the spot and pitch you want, then click to drop the note in. Press Esc again to return to selecting.

It follows the key signature (fortegn)

New notes inherit the score’s key signature automatically. In a sharp or flat key, a note you add lands at the correct sounding pitch — for example, in a six-flat key a B you place is actually a B♭. The staff won’t draw a redundant ♭ glyph (the key signature already implies it), so to confirm the pitch, watch the keyboard: the lit key shows you exactly which note it is. Need a note outside the key? Use the accidental buttons (♯ / ♭ / ♮) to set it explicitly.

Hearing your edits

Press play to hear the score; the keyboard flashes each note as it sounds. Once you’ve edited a score, playback uses exactly what’s written, so you always hear your changes. Everything you do auto-saves to your account.
