It should work in booklet / page view but I will check. Linear view I haven't coded the scroll yet, whoops. I'll get on that.

Click on Mixer View, you will see the play button. However, the best user experience is to hover over the notes with your mouse and press spacebar. Also, I would zoom out a bit, click Booklet View, to get out of the default linear view (if you wish). Let me know if you have issues with playback. I expect a lot of questions on how to initially use the program because there is no built in help yet.

Ok this has been addressed. I didn't have support for Midi type 0, but the import now works. If you still have issues with the graphics and output, I can work on the quantization. The issue is that if you composed arpeggios from another program, Music Jotter can't interpret that. But if the rhythms are not correct, send me the pdf or visual output of the score, and I'll take a look.

If this is your midi file from another program though, I will see what I can do to fix this. Give me a bit to diagnose the problem, shouldn't take too long.

This part may be a bit confusing for first time users. I have 2 ways to export midi. As a jot file, and as a midi file. The jot file is actually the file you want to save and load back into Music Jotter. The midi file is the performance file, which is intended to be used in DAWS or other software. I strip it of all the formatting meta data so keep the files lightweight. Download the .jot file, load it back into Music Jotter, and see if that fixes your issue.

It saves on every keystroke while you compose, it's like Google Docs; you can just download your midi file. But if basic composition isn't working for you, it could be a browser bug, so if this is the case, I would need more information about your browser. I've tested Music Jotter with Firefox and Chrome, and it should also work with Safari. Here's another trick...as long as your composition plays back, you know it has been saved, because saving your midi file happens before the playback compiles (behind the scenes).

I'm creating an absurdist world, where the series link together...so it might be weird if you aren't into that kind of humor lol. But I rely on music to help with storytelling. Here's an example of a musical, but I also started doing mini episodes.

This forum update was a big one, which is why I put it off for a year. But I have about 90% of things back. As of now, I just made another update. MP3s and PDFs are back and with improvements. We have proper view counts now (finally!). I will be working on getting our old colors back, and don't worry, the logo will be back too. Hopefully I can also bring back the chatbox, I just need a few more days. Another major update which has been quite hidden, is the integration of a new music notation software that I've been working on for some time. That's why I had to update the forum, I'm getting ready for a release of Version 1 soon. The early adopters of Music Jotter will be migrating here and I'll be using the forums for issues and customer management. I'll also be opening up a subscriber tier (The forum will always remain free but the subscriber tier helps me develop Music Jotter, for those interested in the new technology). Overall, this forum software also should be a lot faster, so hopefully we see some improvements with speed!

A high tension piece that wants to resolve but ultimately fails in doing so. We almost get there at 0:20. It makes me wonder if you don't really want to go into teaching, or if you have anxiety over the prospect! Overall, I'd say one of your more interesting castings. Honestly, I was surprised that you resolved this at the end.

Cool bass beats along with a fun motif! Gets a little repetitive, but maybe this can be used for a boss fight. One thing you will notice with AI tunes is that the harmony can get quite stale. Even with the interval key change, this basically is the same harmony for the full 1:40.

Unique and very calming. The crescendo and decrescendo throughout gives the piece an interesting sense of grounded emotional instability.

This is a good motif, supported by interesting harmony! This would work well as a jazz piece. All you'd have to do is change up the harmony, and add some drums. But the rhythms and theme can remain the same!

The polychords are starting to make the music sound much more adventurous, and perhaps more like Ravel. I feel like there's a lot more opportunity with this style of music. Great job, sounds awesome!

I like it, sounds like music from an old film. Fun nuances around the instrumentation (the staccato and rhythms).

Very eerily expressive, and I feel like the ending has not resolved. This could be a good candidate for a psychological horror perhaps. Look up the game "The Dark Eye". I don't remember the music of that game, but I feel like this music would work in that type of game.
