Introduction
What Annotune does, and what it does not do.
Annotune renders MusicXML scores in your browser and writes the name of every note underneath its notehead. It is aimed at people who read music slowly: students learning to sight-read, teachers preparing material, and anyone returning to an instrument after a long gap.
What it can do
- Render MusicXML (.musicxml, .xml, .mxl).
- Add note names in five naming systems, with or without octave numbers and accidentals.
- Colour-code noteheads and note names by pitch class.
- Show or hide time signatures, measure numbers, metronome marks and fingerings.
- Save your display settings with the score, so it opens the same way next time.
- Export the annotated score as PDF or SVG, and the source document as MusicXML.
- Share a score through a private, revocable link that needs no account to open.
What it does not do
Annotune is not a notation editor. It does not change the notes in your score, transpose it, play it back, or convert a scan or a PDF into MusicXML. It reads a MusicXML document that some other program produced and presents it more legibly.
If you have a PDF or a photograph of sheet music, you will need optical music recognition software to turn it into MusicXML first. Annotune cannot read those formats.
Where things live
- New score: the upload screen, and where every import starts.
- Library: every score you have saved, searchable and sortable.
- Note Tracer: a separate exercise for practising how notes are written.
- Settings: your name, password, avatar and two-factor authentication.
- Billing: your subscription, invoices and payment method.
