Noteland is live
18 August 2026
Noteland is a score editor for iPad: lead sheets — notes, lyrics and chord symbols — written with the Apple Pencil and the keyboard, saved as MusicXML that MuseScore, Sibelius and Dorico read, exported as PDF, working fully offline.
As of today it has a home. The app installs from noteland.app — no App Store, no account — and this site carries the guide, eleven chapters written against the app as it behaves, and the install instructions, including the one habit worth having: save your scores to the Files app regularly.
It is a beta, and it is free — a full editor, not a preview of one. If you try it and something surprises you, delights you, or breaks: hello@noteland.org reaches a person who wants to know.
