Welcome to the Notably wiki!

Notably is a simple music notation editor.

Here's some initial characteristics and goals

• it is designed to be intuitive and easy to use
• it uses a WYSIWYG approach (although it should support alternative input methods)
• it has first class support for NWC files
• it is web based and it can run on different devices, platforms and browsers
• it should run both online and offline
• it is open source

Why do I want to build another music notation software when there are many out there?

• I wanted to be able to display nwc files easily (it's primary a windows based music software)
• I wanted to learn how to write a music software
• I wanted to learn more about music notation, and music itself
• I wanted to build tools (eg. point and click editing and exporting to lilypond) that is useful for myself
• In short, I wanted to scratch my own itch, to write a music software that I can use and love

Some development details

• it is written in ES6 javascript
• it should be easy to developed using just a web browser
