The scores in their app is much more expensive than web browser version! (And it's exactly same product) Are you even serious MUSICNOTES? Why are you punishing customers for using your idiotic app? So ppl, if you have to buy, open the score on a web browser instead of buying in the app. SHAME ON YOU, MusicNotes!

Their apps are ridiculously outdated and lack basic features.

Examples:
- You can't set a zoom level for your sheet music.
- You can't select where to begin playback from. You can only start playback from the beginning of the song or from the start of a page.

The only thing musicnotes has on their competition is that some artists exclusively make their scores available through them. The majority of competitors are better in literally every other way.

I ordered a transposed score of "if I can help somebody " for use in a church. The original was in E flat. I asked for it in B-flat. They sent me a score transposed UP. Who sings those notes!?! When I asked for a corrected score, they seem surprised that I wanted it DOWN and said it would take two weeks because it would have to be transposed by hand. Do not use this company. They are not responsive. I have yet to receive the corrected copy.

Very expensive and you get to print only a copy of the key you purchased. You have to pay for additional copies. Terrible! I started using other sites with the same features, but more affordable and you can change the key of the song before you print it out. Also they allow you to download a copy of the song and you do not have to purchase for additional copies. I am a music teacher and I purchase music constantly that is why I feel that musicnotes.com is not the best option. I am purchasing sheet music from them ONLY if I can not find a piece anywhere else including international sites.

It has an extensive library ranging from Christmas songs to classical music to tv show theme songs. It also covers a surprising range of instruments, not just piano and guitar, but also less popular ones like organ and mandolin. There's even an android app (not sure about Apple products, don't have one) that will synchronize with your account so you can review and play your sheet music right off your phone. The only downside seems to be that you are charged multiple times to reprint your music, so when you print your music, photocopy it and keep it safe! One thing you should always do before visiting this site, though, is to check and see if other sites offer the sheet music you want for free... why pay five bucks for Moonlight Sonata when other sites just give it to you?

Pros: One of the biggest libraries of sheet music online
Great software for changing keys
Songs keep up with the latest hits

Cons: Some older music is harder to follow
Sometimes music itself has wrong keys written in

Summary: If you have a quick audition, or if you just want to print out "12 Days of Christmas" for that family holiday you are dreading. Musicnotes.com is the place to get it. Though some of the most specific music pieces are missing for someone with more acquired tastes, this is still a very comprehensive library of music. Guess which song is at the top of the list? Well Adele Dazeem sings it, just for a small hint.

They say sing like no one can here you. So I guess this is where you get the ammunition. The people at musicnotes.com have made a great interface that makes it easy to find what you are looking for. Very basic user interface, that shows information very clearly.

Purchasing a song from music notes, turns into a small production. Like doing dinner theatre. It's kinda of time-consuming, but in the end anyone can do it.

So you log into you account, and then pick the song. You can pay for songs with paypal or by plugging that 16-digit magic number in.

From here you may have to download their musicnotes software so that you are able to listen to the songs, and change the key if you like.

The great thing about this is that if you are learning music and you don't have time to get a pianist, or just want to look the music over – the program actually plays the sheet music in whatever key you want. So just listen to it a couple of times, or record that on your phone and use that to practice.

When you get to the point to print the music, you can only print it one time. More times charge you extra. They do have an option that if your print messed up that it lets you print it again.

There have been times that I have printed music out and then the pianist looked at me in confusion at a couple of measures. So if it's something important, I would have someone who knows what they are doing to look it over.

Happy caroling... well its almost April. Idk, I guess you could do a Christmas in July type of thin – never mind just go download "Let It Go" like the rest of the country.
