We're introducting a new feature today, allowing users to add their own scores, midi files and even mp3s to 8notes.com.
The new service should be useful if:
- you are a composer
- you have arranged pieces for your group
- you have written out or scanned in a non-copyright piece of music
If would like to post your scores for others to enjoy, this is a great new way to do it.
The service is very much still in beta, and once users have added more content we hope to integrate members files much more with the main site. We'll be adding a link to members files on each of the main instrument pages as a starting point, and creating a new compositions section.
To get started you need to be registered with 8notes (free). Once you are logged in to your account, click "My Music" and follow the instructions. We allow files to be uploaded in the following formats:
gif
Sibelius scorch (NB versions 2 or 3 only)
PDF
midi
mp3
We hope to start new general sections for midi files and mp3 recordings if there's enough interest.
Finally, please remember that we have to operate within copyright law, so any files uploaded will be subject to approval by an adminstrator. Any files that are in-copyright, such as scanned versions of popular music will be rejected.
I am really all for adding my recordings! I really have a lot that I want to share with others. I hope you guys can get that up fast, I'm really anxious! I don't have any scores that I can offer because they are all copyrighted...
Could you possibly add a format of Finale to upload? I have my files under finale format. I would really like to post them up on this site for comments.
