I have used Crescendo for a long time now, both free and paid, and it became my basis for comparison not only because it was the first sheet-music program I used substantially but also due to its accessibility. The layout isn’t pretty but it’s navigable and comes naturally after short use. Nothing is withheld from the experience by any settings and every part of the music is customizable. Highly recommend.

When I just got the app, and I opened my file for my score. I pressed the play button and it just made a loud trumpet sound over the music. It blocked my own music. When I tried to get out of the app and back to play it. Same thing happened again! Can you please fix it or tell me why it made that sound? Thank you.
