Scorewright is in Beta!

Jonah Dlin

We are proud to announce Scorewright is officially in beta! The Scorewright beta is the product of 2 years of development. Our software isn’t ready to be called complete, but while we work on our official first release we want to hear from you and get your feedback. If you’re interested register here for beta access.

What is Scorewright?

Scorewright is a sheet music editor for the web. It features real-time collaboration, autosave, and precise rendering all from your browser.

Why Beta?

We want Scorewright to be driven by what you, the user, wants. We understand that music notation is complicated, and that every genre and every musician uses it in their own way. We can’t do this without a core set of musicians willing to use Scorewright and tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Right now Scorewright is not complete, but it’s got just enough that we’re ready to start growing that core set of people so we can make sure we’re building the right thing, the way you want it.

Why build a sheet music editor?

Scorewright began as a passion project and over time grew into something we think others will be as excited about as we are. We realized we have something unique to say in the scorewriter space.

Scorewright has 5 primary goals:

  1. Help musicians work together
  2. Be friendly to beginners
  3. Enable experienced users to get their ideas onto the page seamlessly
  4. Produce beautiful and precise final scores
  5. Let users edit their scores from anywhere

There are plenty of options on the market that do 2 or 3 of these, but none which do all 5. When complete, Scorewright will do all of these and more.

What do we have so far?

We support a number of core features to support basic scorewriting, as well as some advanced features:

What’s next?

Our near-term priorities are whole-measure rests and tuplets, but we have dozens of features and improvements coming over the next few months. The full release will be mid-to-late 2025, but that won’t be the end of development. We have tons of ideas for how we can continue to improve the software, and we’re sure you will too.

We would love for you to try out what we have so far and tell us what you want to see next.
