From your own web site, anyone, anywhere
can view, play, transpose and print your
music. Visitors to your site don’t need
Sibelius, they just download Scorch, (Sibelius'
free plug-in for browsing scores online).
You can also let people save music from your
site onto disk , useful for giving coursework to
students.
Here are a few examples…
