Frequently asked questions
What does the note helper show?
A row of notes from middle C upward (or from E below the bass staff), each with its name. The colors follow the Boomwhacker scheme used in many classrooms: C red, D orange, E yellow, F green, G teal, A purple and B pink.
How big are the staves?
The gap between lines can be 2.5 to 5 mm, two to three times normal staff paper, so small hands can draw round noteheads.
Are the note names in my language?
Yes. They print as C D E F G A B in English, do re mi in languages that use solfège, and with H in German and Polish.
Can I print it in black and white?
Yes. Turn off colored notes for a plain version that copies well.
