- Cuatro players and plucked-string arrangers
- Worth noticing
- The cuatro is the default instrument, with five double courses, octave pairs, and 17 frets represented.
Field notes
The editor accepts note entry by keyboard, staff click, or fretboard tap; the corresponding notation and tablature update together, with fingering tied to instrument, tuning, and capo. Players can start from instrument or ensemble templates or import MusicXML, then adjust page engraving and export several file formats. The homepage says published scores are readable by link, while beta access is limited to one tester at a time.
