The guided notation editor is here — write music from scratch, shape every note, and hear it played back. Your practice partner now composes with you.
MuseNote — An AI coach that actually gets your music.
There's a moment in every musician's journey when you wish someone was sitting next to you — listening, encouraging, telling you exactly where you got it right. That's the role MuseNote plays. You open a score, pick up your instrument, and play. The app listens through your microphone, follows along note by note, and shows you what you nailed and what could use one more pass. No judgement, no criticism — just honest, encouraging feedback you can actually learn from.
— AN AI COACH THAT LISTENS —
The hours between lessons don't have to feel lonely. Whether you're a student preparing for an exam, an adult returning to an instrument you put down years ago, or a hobbyist who just wants to play that one piece beautifully, MuseNote is there with you, every session.
Pick a piece. Play it through. Hear where your pitch drifted, where the rhythm rushed, where you nailed the phrasing. Your accuracy is broken down in plain terms — what was excellent, what was good, what's worth another go.
— SEE YOURSELF IMPROVE —
Every session lands on your dashboard. Watch your accuracy climb across the weeks. Build a daily streak. See which pieces you've spent time on and which parts you've focused on. The progress that used to feel invisible becomes something you can hold onto.
Your dashboard greets you by name and shows what you've been working on — like a friendly studio you walk into every day.
— A FULL SHEET-MUSIC PLAYER —
Read any MusicXML, MEI, or .mxl score. Transpose to your key on the fly. Loop the tricky bars and drill them at any tempo. Switch between paged and scrolling layouts. Adjust the notation size to match your stand or screen. Mix the parts of an ensemble piece exactly how you want them. Export to PDF for the music stand, MIDI for your DAW, or MEI for archiving.
— MARK UP YOUR SCORE —
Circle a tricky passage, highlight the bit you keep missing, drop a fingering, breath, bow, accent, or fermata — with your finger, a stylus, or an Apple Pencil. Your marks stay glued to the notes across zoom and transpose, and travel with the piece.
— RICH, LIFELIKE INSTRUMENT SOUNDS —
Scores play back through a built-in General-MIDI synth and a curated SoundFont catalogue. The bundled default is fast and light; downloadable sets like FluidR3 GM unlock premium concert-hall-quality orchestral sound for the pieces that deserve it.
— PRACTICE TOOLS THAT FIT HOW YOU PLAY —
Adjustable pitch-detection sensitivity tunes the app to your playing style. The fermata hold multiplier lets paused notes ring as long as the score asks for. The mixer keeps reverb, chorus, per-part mute, and pan in one place.
— REAL-TIME FEEDBACK, WHILE YOU PLAY —
A live verdict strip — On time, Rushing, Dragging — helps you feel the beat without breaking your flow. After each take, you see your pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and accents graded across Excellent, Good, Fair, and the bars that need another pass, with a per-note table you can scroll through and learn from. Headphones recommended; the app reminds you when it matters.
— PLAY YOUR PART, MUTE THE REST —
For ensemble scores, MuseNote knows which staff you're playing and mutes it from playback so your mic isn't competing with itself. You play your part; the app handles everyone else's.
— OFFLINE. NO ACCOUNT. JUST YOU AND THE MUSIC. —
No sign-in. No subscription nag. No internet required. Open the app, open your score, play. Your last score, mode, mixer state, and notation size are remembered between sessions.
— 10 LANGUAGES —
English, Deutsch, Español, Français, हिन्दी, 日本語, 한국어, Português, Русский, 中文 (简体). The whole app — from the dashboard greeting to the mixer and tuner — speaks your language warmly and naturally.
Made by Toolbone for the quiet hours at the music stand.

What's new in 3.0.1:
FIXED
• Subscription plans could fail to load, leaving the plan picker with no prices and an unresponsive button. Prices now load reliably, and if they ever can't, you'll get a Retry instead of a stuck screen.
• Fixed a rare crash when closing MuseNote while the microphone was still listening.
3.0 — The guided notation editor has arrived.
Compose is out of early access. Start a score from scratch — pick a key, time, and tempo, then write note by note right on the staff, with the editor guiding every step.
• Create a new score in seconds with the Quick-start wizard.
• Shape every note: pitch, length, dots, accidentals — plus dynamics, hairpins, articulations, ties, slurs, tuplets, and ornaments.
• Structure your music: repeats, endings, barlines, extra bars, tempo, key, time, and clef.
• Make it yours: rename the title and composer right in the editor.
• Take it anywhere: export MusicXML, ABC, Humdrum, PDF, PNG, and more — ready for any notation app.
• Forgiving by design: every change is undoable, and your originals are never touched.
Write it. Play it. Get graded on it — all with the practice partner that hears you.
