Frequently asked questions
No. NoteComet only displays falling notes; it does not use the microphone or audio input. You play your real piano or keyboard along with the guide.
Yes. Snap or pick up to 12 photos (or one PDF) of pages in order, and the reader runs on the server's CPU. Reading a page typically takes 10–40 seconds. A review screen lets you fix any measures it had to repair.
MusicXML (.musicxml, .mxl, .xml), MIDI (.mid, .midi), and PDF or photo scans of printed music. MusicXML is preferred because it preserves the two-staff split that gives a clean hand assignment.
Free for MusicXML/MIDI imports. Pro is a paid subscription that adds photo/PDF reading and an always-on hand guide.
