What keeps the library and the management busy every production
Parts to prepare, hand out and collect
The material comes from the publisher, the library or IMSLP; it has to be marked up, handed to each musician and collected after the last night.
Last-minute corrections
A cut or a bowing decided at the dress rehearsal has to be copied onto every part before the concert.
Line-ups that keep changing
Extra players, replacements, different casts from one production to the next: who plays what changes all the time.
Tools made for a single reader
A personal reading app shares neither the music director’s markings nor who plays which part.
For the ensemble
What NoteStand brings to a professional organisation
Organising concerts and declaring rights are described on the home page. Here is what matters first to a library, a management team and a music director.
Every part of the repertoire, in one place
Each piece holds its full score and its parts as PDF or MusicXML, each linked to its section. Every musician finds “My part” in each piece, up to date on their device.
- IMSLP is searched from NoteStand; the imported score keeps the work’s address and the edition’s licence.
- A score to correct or to re-engrave: the score editor is in the app.
The music director’s decisions, on every copy
A bowing, a cut, a breath: marked once on the shared layer, the whole section has it at the next session. A manager can also pass their own markings on to the ensemble.
- Each musician keeps a personal layer for their own reminders.
- A part changed after the concert was announced? NoteStand lists the musicians concerned and notifies them in one tap.
A team to prepare, musicians to play
A space can have several managers — library, management, music director — who prepare the repertoire, set lists and concerts. Musicians see everything read-only: the material stays as the team prepared it.
- An extra player is invited for the production, then removed from the space at the end.
Who plays what, production by production
For each piece of the set list, parts are assigned musician by musician. Parts left without a player stand out at a glance, and everyone answers present, unsure or absent for each concert.
On stage, in the pit, on tour
The set list runs in run mode, pages turned with a Bluetooth pedal, in stage mode. The repertoire already on the device reads offline; changes sync when the network comes back.
- In the strings, two players can read from one tablet, their part highlighted if they share a section.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions about NoteStand for a professional ensemble
How does the professional offer work?
An offer on quote, sized to your organisation, with priority support, a contract and suitable invoicing (purchase orders, public-sector e-invoicing). Write to us: we start from your season and your line-ups.
Do musicians, permanent or extra, have to pay?
No. Each gets an invitation by email and creates a free account; they open NoteStand in their browser or install it in a few seconds (see how).
Who can change the repertoire?
The space’s managers, and there can be several. Musicians see everything read-only; they annotate for themselves, choose their section and answer concerts.
Can we try before committing?
Yes. An account’s first space is free for six months, up to fifteen members: enough to try it with the library and one section. We can also show you NoteStand on your repertoire.
What about no network, in the pit or on tour?
If the device already holds the space, everything reads and plays offline; changes sync when the network comes back.
