Neume
Write music fast.
Hear it instantly.
Neume is a music notation editor built for the act of writing: type letters to place notes, press Space and hear real instruments, and print pages you can put on a stand. Every score quietly keeps its full history too, so nothing you try is ever lost.
It's free and there's nothing to install. Try everything without an account; sign in when you want to save your work and sync it across devices.
Fast, keyboard-first entry
Type letters to place notes, steer durations from the number keys, and reach everything through one searchable command palette. Play from wherever you're working.
Real instrument sound
About 69 sampled instruments, from orchestral strings to jazz and band, load in the background. The first press of Play sounds like the instrument, not a beep.
Pages worth printing
Clean engraving with real page setup: headers and footers, page numbers, paper sizes, and margins. Export a PDF that goes straight onto the stand, or MusicXML, MIDI, and WAV.
In your browser, anywhere
Nothing to install: the full editor runs in the browser, with a focused view, play, and browse experience on your phone. Free to use; sign in to save and sync across devices.
Version history you can trust
Sketch freely in a working draft, save named versions, and compare any two note by note. Roll back what didn't work; every change knows its author.
Live shared scores
Invite collaborators into one score with owner, editor, and viewer roles. Everyone writes on the same draft, live, and the owner decides what gets inked.
And underneath it all: real version control
Every score is a history of small, replayable changes. That model is what makes drafts, saved versions, note-level diffs, and multi-author attribution work, and it's why nothing you write in Neume is ever lost. You compose; the history takes care of itself.
