Getting Started
The typical workflow:
Open an audio file
Click 
or or drag-and-drop an audio file into the side panel (mp3, wav, ogg, flac, etc).
Select Instruments
Parts
Click 
to open sheet music settings. These are the instrument parts that will show up when you export sheet music or MIDI. Make sure there is one part for every instrument you want in the sheet music. Each part has a settings button 
that can, for example, set tablature for stringed instruments like guitar.
Note Groups
Each note is assigned to a group and each group is assigned to a part. Usually you want one note group for each part, but for piano you may want one note group for treble clef and another for bass so you can adjust which clef a note is written to.
Edit Measures
Click the measure tab 
or press "2" on your keyboard to switch to measure editing mode. AnthemScore needs to know where the beats and downbeats are located in order to create sheet music. In the main spectrogram window, downbeats are blue lines and non-down beats are thick gray lines with beat numbers at the top. The thin gray lines between beats show the smallest note spacing. You can change the smallest allowed note in the side panel (spectrogram controls box). Basic measure editing:
- Click the very first blue downbeat and then adjust the time signature and key signture in the side panel.
- Left click and drag any beat to move it around.
- A fast way to adjust all measures is to tap the downbeats. Click the "Start" and "|" buttons in the side panel and then tap "|" for each downbeat as the song plays.
Edit Notes
Click the note tab 
or press "1" on your keyboard to switch to note editing mode. Left click on the spectrogram to add or remove a note. Right click and drag to select a group of notes. To clear the selection, just right click. Some tools for editing notes:
- Drag the note slider in the side panel to auto add/remove notes using their AI calculated scores.
- Click
to copy and 
to paste a group of selected notes. - Delete selected notes with the delete key. You may need to set the shortcut key in
- Select large regions by dragging over the timeline or keyboard.
- Right click a note to see info like what instrument it is assigned to.
- If there are multiple instruments, you can run to use AI to automatically detect instruments and assign notes to new groups. This is more accurate once all the note start positions are correct.
