How it works

From first idea to finished song in three steps.

1

Create a song

Set a title, pick a key and tempo. The workspace and theory tools activate automatically.

2

Add sections and notation

Build your song section by section — verse, chorus, bridge — using any of five notation editors.

3

Collaborate and finish

Invite bandmates, chat about changes, track progress on your kanban board, and export when you're done.
