Include the Theremin as an instrument

2010-07-31T19:07:11+00:00

E sharp suggested:
I play theremin (albiet badly) and as an instrument I truly love it. i think it could add a lot to some of my peices present and future.

I'd really love it if when I pressed play, it would ALWAYS follow, not just SOMETIMES. ._.

Zebracat16 suggested:
I press play and sometimes the music scrolls. I like that. But after the first 5 or so times, it STOPS following and it really annoys me. I don't know if its a glitch or not.

You should be able to "follow" people

Like on Twitter and Formspring! Or like subscribing on YouTube! I am fans of so many people, and it would be nice if we'd get notifications from them to see when they update a score or add a new one.

Multi-Measure Rest [updated]

2010-07-27T08:01:56+00:00

Make it possible to have a multi-measure rest, e.g. |- 4 -| is a four measure rest. When producing scores with long segments of resting having one blank measure after other wastes space and is difficult to follow.

Bob said:

The way it is programmed to play back would make the multiple bars of rest literally long.

Fix printing lyrics [updated]

2010-07-23T17:04:36+00:00

The layout sometimes places lyrics below the printing margin for a page, so that they get cut off.

I know that copyrighting is illegal, but it's annoying when me and my friend's are writing music together and I can't edit it, so please change it to where we can communicate with each other, and write one together online.

Let users organize scores with tags or folders [updated]

2010-07-20T02:16:42+00:00

It's kind of lame to just give me a list of My Scores that gets longer and longer. I want tags, folders, or something that lets me organize my music!

Kat said:

While it may be the case that not many people have more than 10 documents, I for one like to separate things. You see, I'm taking a MIDI of a song that has 2 guitar, keyboard, choral, voice, and strings, and am in the process of using what guitar parts and keyboard is necessary to put together the regular version of the song, then I plan on setting up a strings sheet with different types of strings attached to the vocal line, and then I plan on splitting the vocal line into four choir parts. I plan on doing this for many songs, and the documents really pile up, especially when I plan on having at least three "official" versions of my project.

Sometimes when i try to tie a note that is part of multipal voices, it won't tie, because the other note isn't in the same voicing. you should also be able to choose wheather tied notes raise upwards or downwards. Thanks

Let users choose wheather they want the stems to point up or down.

an anonymous user suggested:
Every single time without fail, whenever I make a note shorter, it puts a rest where one is NOT supposed to be and refuses to let me move it without completely getting rid of other notes. It is the single most annoying. irritating, and useless thing ever, and I am sick of it ruining the music I'm trying to transcribe.

Make an iPhone app.

Free or for purchase. Portable composing noteflight style would be well worth having.

Add a soprano clef [updated]

2010-07-13T18:16:39+00:00

I'm working with a MIDI I uploaded, and some of the notes are impossibly high, but I can't get rid of them because I might need them later, but they're so high they go into the clef above it, and I have to increase the spacing. but that makes more pages, which makes the computer lag. I need a soprano clef to keep them in.

Why don't you use 8va?

I suggest that the bar self-splits between high and low notes when importing MIDIs.

an anonymous user suggested:
I recently Imported a MIDI of the song Exodus by Evanescence, and the vocal line, having been played on a flute, was separate from the piano, but the piano part was put into one staff, and I had to separate it myself. I suggest that when we import MIDIs, and the piano accompaniment is on one track, that it be split into two staffs based on which note would more reasonably be on which staff.

Add voice(s) as an instument. SATB [updated]

2010-07-12T04:01:53+00:00

SATB as well as a singular voice part would be ideal.

hess.anne said:

Yes. I would very much like to be able to input SATB chorale style music with the stems going down for Alto and Bass parts and up for Tenor and Soprano. This would be an extremely useful feature for teaching theory. I wouldn't care if the playback were on piano, but being able to manipulate the direction of the stems would be great.

This is a very good idea, it cuts back on the number of measures which makes it a lot easier for a ton of musicians, me included! Good idea! :D

add measure numbers at the end of every line.

it's just easier to read music while you're rehearsing or learning a song so you don't have to write them in or count everytime you want to find a certain measure.

Custom Template for Crescendo [updated]

2010-07-06T19:33:11+00:00

The majority of my time on noteflight is spent composing drumline music. The instrumentation I use (4 lines of "drums") is not available and not even close to the templates available on Crescendo. If I was able to save a custom template onto my profile, it would save ALLLOOTTA TIME

How about saving your template as regular score and then use Save A Copy every time you want a new drumline?

Users can't communicate with each other through noteflight in any other way than commenting on each others scores. well, there is an obvious need to contact and talk to others relating to noteflight contents but not nesseserely as score comments. that's why i think an instant messeging function like a chat, or maybe an inbox like facebook has, could be really good and improove the online notation exeperience :)

Allow users to embed page layout, not just strip layout. [updated]

2010-07-03T22:35:42+00:00

It would be great to see an entire score page at a glance and not have to use the strip layout when embedding a score.

Giles Brown said:

I agree. I need this to add explanatory text with the score. I don't think this is possible within noteflight (and why would you want to when there is good blogging and wiki software out there).

Allow people who aren't members be able to view the compositions made by people who are members!
