Noteflight Renders Traditional Sheet Music Obsolete

Musicians can use Noteflight as a powerful tool for creating and sharing musical documents over the Internet. Interactive scores can be seamlessly woven together with text, audio and video.

For example, Harvard’s Dr. Ingrid Monson is using Noteflight for an online music tutorial within her core course in Jazz History.

“Noteflight is a godsend to anyone teaching music,” says Professor Monson. “It’s very easy to use, and saves so many error-prone steps compared to putting music online with other notation editors. To me, the most valuable feature is that whenever I revise one of my scores on Noteflight, the music in my tutorial Web pages changes instantly without my having to do anything else.”

“As both software creators and musicians, our team knows how painful it is to share notated music online today. That’s because most musical applications treat the Internet as an afterthought: they’re geared to saving your music on your hard disk, not to sharing your music with other people,” says Noteflight founder Joe Berkovitz. “We saw that our vision of creating, hearing and sharing high-quality music notation on the Web could finally be realized with technology that’s already installed on everyone’s computer — and that’s exactly what we did.”

Here’s a video that shows how music can be created and edited with Noteflight:
