chopin Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 After you watch my premiere, I'm hoping I can get a few testers of the software at this stage. For those of you who don't know, Music Jotter is an online music notation software. Before I go on, I have to explain how it's different than MuseScore. MuseScore will unfortunately be the biggest obstacle that risks low adoption of Music Jotter in this group here, but there are things I can do to encourage 3-10% early adoption. Here are some reasons why you should pay attention to Music Jotter: You get to help me build the product. A product built and influenced by a composer community means an excellent product. Custom plugins written in Javascript. Can't code? No problem, I'm here to help. Literally code your own Music Jotter -> Lilypond plugin if you desire. Much more responsive playback system with music scrubbing. Easy to use if you care about that. I know that it's a hard sell if you are used to Finale or MuseScore. But if you start using Music Jotter, you will see how much easier it is to use. Flexible: It's much easier to make your music sound better in Music Jotter. It's accessible and integrates with your Young Composers account. Music Jotter will become much more competitive of a product if there is more awareness and social proof. By social proof, I mean eagerness to use this product in its "mature" state. But willingness to help this product become mature. Rivals the desktop software solutions, not the online market This one is weird because Music Jotter is literally an online music software. However, Music Jotter will rival Finale and MuseScore. Not NoteFlight or Flat.io. This means I'm not even worrying about NoteFlight / Flat.io, and they have a HUGE market. Why am I not worrying about them? Because Music Jotter is targeting the desktop market. NOT the online market. Why this is important: Because this product is not a "pet project" of Young Composers. If I am rivaling Finale, you know Music Jotter means business. And I must say that the online market is still incredibly weak, even with NoteFlight and Flat.io dominating. Dominance means nothing honestly, it just means no one else is around. If Music Jotter is opting to eventually become a desktop software, the cloud solution is just another benefit of the larger vision. The larger vision though is "a music composition ecosystem". This is a big reason why I am creating a YouTube channel. If you are interested in helping me test Music Jotter, and you want to see it become mature, I urge you to join my Facebook socials today: Facebook: Personal Facebook: Group for Early Access You can still join even if you aren't sure at this point. I will be using my new Facebook social accounts to communicate news around Music Jotter to those who are eager to see this product make it into the world. And if anything, a highly adopted Music Jotter on Young Composers increases our community engagement. 1 Quote
