However, you have full access to all features and instruments in all of those scores. They give you three private scores for free, but if you go beyond those scores, your scores are public unless you upgrade. I also like the flat.io doesn’t hide features if you don’t pay for the service.

That will revolutionize music education papers at the college level in the future (and something I am eager to interact with when I teach at the college level). The things I like about flat.io are its interface (which creates notes out of existing rests, like Sibelius), its connections with Google Apps for Education (any time you take away the need for yet another password, you make my life as a teacher easier), and flat.io’s ability to embed musical scores into a Google Doc (something new in 2017). You can use flat.io on an iPad, but the app offers even more flexibility for the iPad user (Noteflight had discussed making an iPad app at one time, too). I bought a one month subscription for my students to use the education version of flat.io last year-which worked well, even on iPad.

Of course, as time rolls on, both programs keep adding features, and it is always nice to read updates from the flat.io team. Flat.io has always been easier to use, but more limited in its features. In my opinion, Noteflight is the heavy duty app, with more functionality and features. One of those solutions is Noteflight, and the other is flat.io. If you aren’t familiar with flat.io, there are two solutions for web-based music notation. I had been a beta tester of the app (I didn’t have a lot of time to provide feedback), and since the last beta version, I had not used the app and was not aware that the public version had been released.

This may be old news for you, but Flat.io joined the ranks of web-based apps that have also released an iOS version of their web app called Flat – Music Notation.
