Beginners recognise a colour long before they can name a note on the stave.

Same colour, every octave

A red note is always C - high or low, treble or bass clef.

Your music, your choice

Bring any MusicXML score: exam pieces, pop songs, or your teacher's arrangements.

The colour key

Tap a key to hear it, or type the note letters C D E F G A B on your keyboard — hold Shift for sharps.

Questions

Which files can I upload?

MusicXML: compressed .mxl, or uncompressed .musicxml / .xml. MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius and Dorico can all export it.

Can I just paste a MuseScore link?

Paste it and we'll check it and take you to the score. MuseScore only lets signed-in users export, so you download the MusicXML there and upload it here.

What do I see before paying?

The top half of page one, fully coloured, so you can check it looks right.

Why is it cheaper with your logo?

Keep our small "coloured at demismusic.com" credit in the footer and we take a little off the price - it helps other learners find us. Prefer a clean page? Choose No logo. The colour key is on every PDF either way.

Is there a size limit?

Yes - the current limit is shown on the upload box, and covers almost every piano piece. Compressed .mxl files are the smallest.
