Noteflight

Noteflight is a flash-based web product for the creating and sharing of musical text online. As well as the musical text processor, which is much like full software programs such as Sibelius and Finale, Noteflight has a dynamic social element where you can share original compositions with others and invite them to suggest or edit the work. It is ideal for online collaboration in music and for teaching purposes. A brief review of Noteflight, carried out as part of the MA DAH course at UCC, can be found at a href=https://fuaimabu.wordpress.com/2015/01/30/a-personal-review-of-noteflight/
