  Unless a piece you want has been recreated or arranged on MuseScore or flat.io, you must buy your own music unless someone wants to give some old music to you. Source: over 2 years ago

• Web based software

  The web-based options are, unsurprisingly, more limited. flat.io is pretty bad, Noteflight is better but still very limited and quite bad to use. There's some more niche stuff like Unison but it might not be the most accessible. Source: over 2 years ago

• Just dropped my first metal song at 15 years old, go check it out! (Link in profile)

  For gear, I didn't use any pedals or even an amp to record this. I bought an audio interface (you can get a pretty good one used for like $80) and plugged my guitar into my laptop. I used a free ampsim I found online and recorded it. I then sent it to a producer who cleaned up the tone and mixed it in with all the other instruments (on this specific track I had real people I found online play all the instruments...

• My melodies need work but not sure where to go for improvement.

• La Canonella. **Posting this until TwoSetViolin notices me

  As a somewhat biased perspm who started out on flat.io and moved to musescore, I highly recommend moving to musescore. The soundfonts are much better in my opinion and the instruments arent locked behind a paywall. You can still make some cool stuff on flat, but its pretty limiting. Nice work though!

• [Audio Offer] Classical and instrumental composer!

  My current program is Flat, which suits most of my needs, but unfortunately I do not have the budget for something like Finale, given the $300 cost. Flat has decent instrument sounds however, and without a real orchestra it is suitable. This might not be exactly what you want, but I think I can write something to change your mind :D Also, here’s a string quartet sample. If you have any special requests that I...

• How do you jot down musical ideas?

  There's a bunch of scorewriting apps available (some are even free) for phone and tablet that can help. (Practicality with a tablet may be an issue when 'out and about' as you put it but it's there.) There's also flat.io in a pinch if you have an internet connection where you are.

• Success with Godin Multiac SA with inputting notes in notation software?

  I'm interested in purchasing a Godin Multiac Nylon SA Natural HG with LR Baggs pickups. It has the 13-pin synth access port but I am curious if anyone uses the guitar to input notes into a notation software like finale or, specifically flat.io. I want to buy the guitar to make playing with a band easier in live situations but I know I would use it a lot for making transcriptions and notating music. Can anyone... Source: over 2 years ago

• Piano Concerto No.1

  I've noticed that with every single flat.io score posted here (and elsewhere). I think it must be the default of the software. I'm guessing most people can't be bothered to change the default notation to standard, or just don't know that it's an issue (or both). Source: almost 3 years ago

• So I'm making this piece, but I didn't make those last four measures... more info in the comments. (I don't think you can hear the video, sorry but idk how to work around it)

  Thanks dude, really appreciate it! This is actually my third piece I've made, the first two being on this free online program called flat.io. I moved here because it's better in every way, and I'm currently remaking my first piece I make a year ago. I also added a bit more to this piece, and though it's not nearly done, I don't think I'm going to add more new stuff, just add to what I've got. Also I'll keep in... Source: about 3 years ago

• Are online piano lessons effective?

  Me and my gf are music teachers and created this over lockdown. It's a virtual classroom for music ed, specifically piano. It has features like a virtual keyboard (so you can see both student and teachers notes & velocity), real-time duets (enabled with MIDI), collaborative notation (flat.io), multi-cam inputs and modular layouts. It's only a fiver per month too. Source: about 3 years ago
