- Worth noticing
- The notation is published under CC0, and the page says downloaded sets can be used in airplane mode.
Field notes
The notation uses sections, bars, number changes, and instrument-targeted music-director notes; the sample chorus pairs a general cue with a separate drum instruction. The page says bands can select song versions, set keys, assign instruments, download sets for airplane-mode use, and step through sections in a full-screen stand view; the beta is invite-only.
