Play back according to repeat bar lines and endings
I would like to be able to get Noteflight to play back my score according to repeat barlines, DC al fine, and in this context also make the first repetition play the first ending, and second repetition play second ending and so on.
Status: startedWe're working on this one; we know it's important! It didn't make it into 1.3, but look for it in the next cycle.

Let users organize scores with tags or folders
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!

Tempo Changes
The user should be able to create a song with more than one tempo. Please add a feature that would make it possible to change the tempo in different parts of the score.

Add guitar tab notation
I was really happy to transform my guitar tabs into real sheet music, but it would be great if you could allow tabulature notation, e.g.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
b|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
... moreStatus: startedGuitar tablature is going to be part of Noteflight Crescendo, our subscription service that launches in early 2010. We're testing it now with guitarists and the feedback has been extremely positive.

turn OFF auto save!! (or make it smarter)
The auto save feature is a good idea, but in practice it is very troublesome. Many times I am working with a slow Internet connection and when it starts to save, I have to wait and wait... please allow offline working as well. This would speed up the autosave feature enormously (then maybe it wou... more
Status: plannedGiving the user more control here seems like a good idea. We will try to work this into an upcoming release soon.

Add a forum
I would like to be able to talk to other composers for some advice or just to be able to chat about being composers.
We're interested in the forum idea -- we've always been thinking about how musical discussions would work since the beginning -- and thinking about how it should relate to the site we have today. Should this be just a regular discussion group or should it include special features for embedding or linking to Noteflight scores?

Different views - include/exclude parts
In addition to a mixer to silence parts, I'd also to be able to create different views of a score, showing different parts. eg. a lead sheet with just melody line, and a more complete arrangement for playback. I'd rather these were conceived as alternate views, rather than a part extraction process.

BUG: Dynamics ignored if score not played from beginning
The dynamics markings (p,pp, mf, ff etc.) are great, but are ignored if they occur before the playback point. Please fix this, it make things really difficult.

let users change default (new) score
Most of the time I want to start a score with a guitar part, but as always, a new score starts with piano. So I have to wait for all the piano sounds to load before I create a guitar staff, and then delete the piano staffs. It would be nice if every user could set thier default preferences so new... more

Make Instruments Downloadable to be used Offline for Faster Loading Time
Instruments may take time to load for people with lesser connections. Enable users to download sets of "GM" voices and allocate local instrument folder in the GUI. Provide two sets: Common Instruments and All Instruments.

Allow ritards and accelerandos
Near the end of the piece I like to add ritards. It brings a feeling of resolution that cannot be replaced. In the middle sometimes pieces sound better just a little faster.

Show if a score is original or not.
I don't want to look at a bunch of crappy pop music transcriptions or hear another arrangement of blue moon. I want to be able to view only ORIGINAL scores other people have created. I am sorry I don't know how to implement this (tags maybe?) but it would be nice for me to be able to not see al... more
