The last time I made a purchase I was forced to either sign in or download an app before printing my music. NOT customer friendly! Why not just send me a pdf? I spent far too much time having to work for this sheet music after having paid for it.

'bit disappointed. The online sheet viewer is kind of bad, no way to customize the zoom level, and no way to seamlessly move from a page to the next (any PDF reader is just better than that). Worse, today I can't login anymore to my account so basically can't access any of my sheet music anymore. No error, just redirects to home page with no explanation.

Digital sheet music priced higher than printed sheet music ever was -- that's Musicnotes for you. With a $70 annual membership, they give you 12 Pro Credits. For digital sheets that cost $7.99 or below, that's 12 songs. But if they are priced just TWO DOLLARS above that, you only get 6 songs, because $9.99 sheets cost TWO CREDITS, which is absurd. They should fractionalize the credits at the very least. Either that or restructure them entirely. And they are always promising "Additional Pro Credit Packs Coming Soon" but after at least TWO YEARS that hasn't happened. If you can't deliver on a promise, don't make it to begin with. I use another sheet music site now that is much more reasonably priced, and that also offers me PDF and MIDI files, which Musicnotes does not.

Musicnotes was a very useful and reasonably priced way to source and purchase song copies. Unfortunately recently the web page has been drastically Altered. Gone is the triple versions of each song. Gone is the optional chose of performers/styles The web-page now looks so spartan

I wanted to ask Do i need to pay for each tab i purchase or I can acess all tabs and sheet music after i paid for membership

UPDATE: I received a refund & explanation. Character limits here prevent me writing all I'd like, so for the sake of others & as their website is misleading, this is what you get with Pro Plus... 1) The $1 discount is ONLY applicable when you buy music via the Apple or Android apps. 2) The 15% discount is ONLY applicable when you buy via the WEBSITE. 3) I cannot see any way you can receive both the $1 and 15% discounts for the same transaction. 4) The price on the app seems to vary but the songs I looked at all cost MORE than on the WEBSITE even after the $1 discount. The discount is taken from the price quoted on the app, not the price quoted on the website. Some of my last update was harsh, but I'm trying to be fair. I have adjusted my rating from 1 star to 3, as I think Musicnotes has the best website and it's quite easy to follow compared with others. I do feel a bit tricked, but maybe they just need to word things better, and read it back from the perspective of someone who has never used them before. Although they took a while to reply to me, it was a Weekend plus holiday, so I accept they weren't terrible but it was frustrating that I was stuck in limbo for nearly a week and couldn't buy new music. -------------------------- Original review: After buying a few songs, I saw their ad for Pro Plus. It was clearly stated that if you paid for a year, you'd get 15% discount plus $1 off if you buy using the app. I paid up, thinking I would save money, plus get PDFs. I then tried buying music. I chose a song that cost (all in GBP) 4.10 on the website. I got a 15% discount, giving a total of 3.49. However, the app price should be $1 less, right? That same song on the app cost 5.49 GBP. That was crossed out and a new price of 4.59 showed. I'd assume that equated to my $1 discount. Where's the other 15%, and why is the final price 4.59, when on the website it's 4.10 before discount and 3.49 after? I wrote to support last Friday (it's now Thursday). I have had no reply. I wrote on their Facebook group a few times & they kept copy/pasting an insulting comment about how they need to pay artists for using their music. I'm well aware of that, hence PAYING YOU so I can BUY rights to use the music you provide. I was also told that if I bought via the website I'd see further discounts. Well I used the app because the website tells me I'll get an extra $1 off the "list price". Well that clearly means the list price on the website. It says nothing about the app being priced higher, meaning that after the $1 discount I'd still be paying MORE! I assumed this was an error. I wrote several times on Facebook asking for clarification and it has not been provided. So with that, plus the fact I have still not received a reply from support, I'm forced to write this review. If Musicnotes tell me it's all a big mistake, I'm happy to edit this review, but how it stands now, I consider Musicnotes to have intentionally misled me into buying a Pro Plus subscription. I do still get benefits if buying from the website, but without the extra $1 discount I was supposed to get I may well not have bought that subscription. I read and re-read their website several times, and I read the exceptions, but it couldn't have been clearer that the price you pay when buying from the app would be $1 plus 15% off. It was never stated that the initial price on the app would be so much higher than the website price. I believe they intentionally hid that fact. I have given them a chance to explain, but they have not. I was excited to play my new piano with new music that I paid for rather than stealing it from non-reputable websites (like many others do) over the Weekend and holiday Monday. However, with all this, and the stress it's caused me, I have not touched my piano since Friday. It might seem like a small matter to most, and I can't blame Musicnotes for my own stress issues, but that's why I'm so annoyed by this. I have a constant worry all day every day that I will not get my Pro Plus membership fee back without a big fight, and I want to avoid that. Even if I get that back, I never want to use your app again so I also want the other music I've bought refunded so I can use another company & start again. Of course I won't get a refund on everything and you are not obliged to give me that, but that is HOW I FEEL. Musicnotes - Please do the right thing & put this right. I'll update this review if you fix things or explain and it turns out I've got it all wrong. I want my money back, AT LEAST the subscription. On my last review complaining about ads being sent to me after buying music, I was offered a refund. However, I did NOT ask for a refund. You gave a fair reply, I updated my review & star rating to reflect that, and didn't ask for a refund despite your kind offer, as I believe in fairness to everyone. I did the right & moral thing. Now it's your turn to do the right & moral thing.

Everyone knows the quality of sheet music on Musicnotes is good. Unfortunately their prices have gone through the ROOF! As a commercial music education provider it's no longer financially viable to use them any more. I've taken up a subscription with another provider and it works out at least 1000% cheaper per month. Such a shame.

Hi, I purchased a standalone pdf and expected to have the interactive sheets functionality with it, as it is shown on the product page. How do I enable it? It's not very clear if it's a premium feature or not.
