New iOS and Android Apps from Musicnotes Modernize the Sheet Music Experience

MADISON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Musicnotes.com, the world’s leading publisher and retailer of digital
sheet music and digital sheet music technology, today announced the
official release of its next
generation of free apps for iOS and Android devices.

The release includes full redesigns and enhancements of the company’s
top-rated tablet and phone apps, providing musicians a streamlined,
interactive sheet music experience across major mobile platforms.

Among the most notable features of the company’s new iOS and Android app
overhaul is fully functional audio-visual playback with audio mixing and
adjustable tempo. Using the new audio mixer, musicians can control
and/or mute the volume of any instrument, voice or part of a piece of
sheet music in playback mode. For example, a vocalist can mute just the
vocal line for on-the-go accompaniment anywhere at any time, or an
instrumentalist may isolate parts to practice separately. Then, using
built-in tempo controls he or she can slow down the music to better
study a problematic passage, and speed up gradually until they’ve
mastered their performance.

Musicnotes’ apps are available to anyone as free downloads from Apple’s
App Store and Google Play, and come pre-installed with a selection of
free sheet music to get you started. Additionally, most sheet music
files purchased at Musicnotes.com offer instant in-app key transposition
– an important feature for those looking to adjust a song’s range to
better match their voice or instrument.

Jon Higgins, Director of Technology at Musicnotes.com, designated
simplicity, functionality and customer suggestions as top-of-mind when
developing the Musicnotes apps. Most of the Musicnotes app developers
are musicians themselves, and they’re inspired by their own musical
needs as well as feedback from insightful, passionate Musicnotes
customers, he said.

“One of the most important parts of our development process is to have
our employees, who are musicians themselves, actually use our apps,”
Higgins said. “If something isn’t right for us, we know it won’t be
right for our customers.”

Modernizing the age-old art of sheet music engraving using today’s most
innovative sheet music technology is a forte of Musicnotes.com. The
company, founded in 1998, has stood alone in the forefront of the
digital sheet music age, offering the largest catalogue of officially
licensed titles for instant download, nearly 300,000 arrangements. After
purchase, a customer may print their professionally engraved and noted,
high-resolution file or sync it to any of the company’s suite of free
apps, which include the new releases for Android and iOS (with iOS 9
compatibility), and Mac and PC desktop apps.
