1. Upload
Add a piano file, public link, or browser recording.
2. Transcribe
Turn the audio into a piano score draft you can check.
3. Review
Check Sheet Music, Numbered Notation, and Piano Roll.
4. Export
Download MIDI, MusicXML, PDF and more on eligible plans.
Start from the source you already have.
Use a piano file, a public music link, or a browser recording. After processing, you get a score draft you can inspect before deciding what to export.
Paste a music link
YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok links are imported as audio first. Restricted videos can fail, and a direct file is the fallback.
Record in the browser
Capture a short idea, confirm you have permission to transcribe it, then review the same score formats.
Real demo outputs
One transcription, three ways to inspect it
The Sheet Music, Numbered Notation, and Piano Roll previews below all come from one demo transcription, so the measure count, tempo, and notes agree with each other.

Listen to the demo
About 32 seconds, synthesized from the notes of the same demo transcription the previews below use — it is not the original recording. Listen to the demo, then read the score.

01Staff score
Sheet Music
The staff preview comes from the same demo transcription as the two previews below, so the hand split, meter, and measure count all line up.
- What you see: a 16-measure piano grand staff with clefs, meter, note values, and rests.
- Good for: reviewing the melody, both hands, rhythm, and bar structure.
- Boundary: an AI draft needs human review before publication.

02Right-hand melody
Numbered Notation
The right-hand melody in numbered notation, generated from the same demo transcription, so you can check the melody against the staff view.
- What you see: 1=key, meter, tempo, bar lines, and the full right-hand melody.
- Good for: singing the line, checking the main melody, and teaching prompts.
- Boundary: it keeps the right-hand melody; left-hand accompaniment is not folded into it.

03Falling view
Piano Roll
Every note in the same demo transcription, falling toward the keyboard with right-hand notes in teal and left-hand notes in violet.
- What you see: pitch, duration, hand colors, and the bottom keyboard.
- Good for: checking rhythm density, note placement, and hand distribution.
- Boundary: playback sync and the 30-second preview limit live on the result page.

How it works
A simple path from audio to notation.
01
Upload
Choose a file, record audio, or paste a supported public music link.
02
Process
The audio is turned into a readable piano score draft you can check against the original take.
03
Review
Open sheet music, right-hand Numbered Notation, piano roll, playback, and available downloads.
Multiple output formats, one verified result.
Song2Notation focuses on a useful score draft: readable enough for practice, structured enough to edit, and honest about where final engraving still matters.
Readable piano score
Production notation uses a readable normalizer after raw transcription so practice material is cleaner than raw MIDI dumps.
Right-hand Numbered Notation
Numbered notation is generated from the right-hand melody so the melody line stays readable.
Piano roll and playback data
The same score data powers a visual piano roll and synchronized playback on completed result pages.
Export-ready artifacts
Paid plans unlock PDF, MIDI, MusicXML, Numbered Notation, and Piano Roll access according to the plan.
Launch fit
Good first fit for teachers, learners, and creators.
Music teachers
Turn student recordings into draft notation for feedback, practice notes, and lesson follow-up.
Piano learners
Convert short phrases into sheet music and Numbered Notation for slower review and repeated practice.
Creators and arrangers
Capture a melody idea, export MusicXML or MIDI, then refine it in your notation or DAW workflow.
AI tool users
Use Song2Notation when you need structured notation outputs rather than only an audio summary.
Honest boundaries
What to expect from the first release.
AI draft, not final engraving
The result is meant for review, learning, arranging, and cleanup. Publication-level engraving still needs human editing.
Piano-first scope
The strongest path is piano and melody material. Dense mixes, vocals, drums, and noisy recordings may need cleaner input.
Link import
Supported public links are imported as audio before transcription; restricted content can fail at import.
Rights-aware workflow
The start flow asks users to confirm they own or have permission to transcribe the source.
