Type in notes and it plays it back - does this exist?

MarkEaton

Hello-

Is there an online software (free is possible) that you can type in some notes (whole, quarter, half, etc. ) and it can play back the notes?

Thank you
-Mark

There are roughly a quadrillion apps that have a keyboard GUI you can play on a PC, phone, etc. Just search and find one you like.

Well i did just download MuseScore. I need to go thru the tutorials and try it out. I'll write back here in a few days of how things go. Thanks for all replies. Very much appreciated.

I use Musescore and have gotten the hang of it after a lot of help file reading. I've only done single-line pieces though. I did ABC years ago and might return to it now that I know what its called.

I agree that many if not all the notation softwares have steep learning curves. But even Finale Notepad (free last I checked) should have a startup wizard that lets you...
- name a piece
- chose the meter, tempo and key from menus
- chose instrument(s)

Then for simple melodies all you have to do is click on the note or rest value from the toolbar and click where on the staff you want it placed. Follow that with plus (+) or minus (-) for accidentals. I find this Simple Note Entry method the most straight forward.

Noteflight is the most intuitive notation software I’ve used. It’s 100% online and the free version works well. The paid subscription is relatively cheap as well.

A lot of phone apps can do this. Try searching for "Musicnotes". It's available on Apple and Android devices. I just think it's the easiest to use. There are also web apps that can do this.
