The editor exposes time signatures from 2/4 through 15/16 and subdivisions including triplets and mixed divisions. Users can adjust drum voices, sticking, counts, metronome settings, and tempo increments; its ABC notation pane can be edited directly, though page changes overwrite those edits. Export options include SVG, PNG, and MIDI, while a share dialog offers a URL and short URL.
