See the Big Picture: Full-Score Viewing is Here!

Teachers, we heard you loud and clear. While the ability to focus on individual parts and receive real-time assessment is the bread and butter of practice, you also need to get your entire class practicing together.

Today, we are thrilled to announce the arrival of Full-Score Viewing for user-generated content (created in Compose or .musicxml uploads). Now, you can display your content from Compose directly within the MakeMusic Cloud platform.

Why Full-Score Viewing Changes the Game

Whether you are standing at the podium or facilitating a remote sectional, having the “birds-eye view” of your music is transformative. This feature isn’t just a convenience; it’s a powerful instructional tool designed to streamline your rehearsals.

• Perfect for Choral Directors: Your class will be in perfect harmony. Choral teachers can now display all voices simultaneously from user-generated content, making it easier to troubleshoot issues and demonstrate how vocal lines weave together.
• Enhanced Score Study: Analyze orchestration, check doublings, and identify potential trouble spots across the entire ensemble while they play.
• Real-Time Modeling: Use the full-score during class to show students how their specific part interacts with the rest of the group, fostering a deeper sense of ensemble awareness. How it Works (and What You Need to Know)

Currently, Full-Score Viewing is available for user-generated content. This means any music you have uploaded via MusicXML or created in Compose can be viewed in full-score mode. We are working hard to expand this feature to the Music Catalog as well!
