To share with someone, the only information you need is their user name. Noteflight will automatically send a sharing notification by email with a link to your score.
• Audio Mixer Panel: Use the Crescendo Audio Mixer to control the volume and stereo position of each instrument individually for playback purposes. You can also mute and solo tracks with a single click.
• Color and Hide Notes and Symbols: With Crescendo, you can apply colors to notes and symbols in order to highlight aspects of the music for analysis, review or correction. You can also hide notes and symbols to avoid visual clutter.
