Noteflight

UPDATED 2025

Noteflight is a web-based tool for writing music via browser. It's essentially a music editing program hosted on a website.

The scores you enter can be shared and/or exported to MusicXML, which can then be imported into major software of this type. The application is free for non-commercial use and offers a more powerful version, called Premium, for commercial use at $49/year (or $7.95/month).

It runs on HTML5, so browsers must support it. According to them, it should work with all current versions of major browsers.

Browser	Minimum Version
Google Chrome	54
Safari	10.1
Microsoft Edge	80
Firefox	51
Mobile Safari	iOS 15
Android	There is an app but it is not mentioned in the FAQ

Although, from my point of view, it's always better to keep everything in-house (I'm also wary of the various clouds), it's probably good that something like this exists, offering interesting prospects for sharing and collaboration.
