Make a four-bar melody with Music Sheet Maker
Start a blank score, then use treble clef, C major and 4/4 time. Set a comfortable tempo, such as 96 BPM. Each bar below contains four quarter-note beats, so you can practise entering pitches and durations without changing the settings between measures.
Choose the duration before entering each note. A quarter note fills one beat; a half note fills two. Octave numbers identify the register: C4 is middle C. Listen after each measure and use the bar check before continuing.
Write your first melody| Bar | Enter these notes | Beat check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | C4, D4, E4, G4 · quarter notes | 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 |
| 2 | E4 and E4 · quarters; D4 · half | 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 |
| 3 | C4, E4, G4, A4 · quarter notes | 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 |
| 4 | G4 and C4 · half notes | 2 + 2 = 4 |
When the rhythm is complete, change one note and listen to how the phrase feels. Keep the same beat total. Review note values and rests when a measure does not add up.
Save an editable score, export MusicXML or print a PDF
A project backup, a notation file and a printed page serve different purposes. Keep an editable project first, then choose the output that fits what you want to do with your music.
| Your next step | Choose | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Continue in Music Sheet Maker | Editable project file | Keep this backup to reopen the score here or move it to another browser. |
| Continue in notation software | MusicXML export | Review the imported notes and layout in a compatible application. |
| Share or hand out the finished page | Print / PDF | Choose Save as PDF in the browser print dialog, or send the page to your printer. |
The editor works with one melody staff. Ties, tuplets, lyrics and independent voices require a notation application that supports them. Your browser’s local save is useful for returning later; a downloaded project gives you a separate copy.

Start with an original example
Our sample melody, blank paper layouts and worksheet exercises are original site resources. Use a small example to check the workflow before starting a longer piece or preparing a class set.
Download the sample MusicXMLYour music stays on your device
Scores and imported music files are processed in your browser. There is no account, upload queue or cloud project library. You choose which copies to download and where to keep them.
Read how local saving worksReturn in the same browser
The editor saves its current project when browser storage is available. Another device or browser has a separate store, so this does not synchronise your work.
Keep an editable backup
Download the project before clearing site data or changing devices. A PDF keeps the printed page; the editable project lets you continue working in the editor.

Clear standards for every resource
Examples you can check
A worked example shows the note positions, beat total or file choice behind the explanation. Worksheets with answer views let you compare the exercise and its result.
Try a rhythm worksheetLimits stated before you rely on a result
Tool pages describe supported inputs and exports. The main editor handles one melody staff; imported MIDI is a simplified draft. Review the score before a lesson or performance.

Send a useful correctionIs Music Sheet Maker really free?+
Yes. The editor, practice tools, printable resources and supported exports are free. There is no account or payment step.
Can I save my music and come back later?+
Your current editor project is saved in this browser when local storage is available. Download an editable project file as a backup, especially before switching devices or clearing browser data.
Can I print or save a PDF?+
Yes. Use Print / PDF and choose your printer, or choose Save as PDF in the browser print dialog. The printable library also includes ready-made PDF resources.
Can I turn an audio recording into sheet music?+
This site does not transcribe MP3 or recorded audio. The MIDI converter reads existing note events, and the MusicXML viewer opens notation files.
What notation does the editor support?+
The editor writes a single melody staff in treble or bass clef, with whole through sixteenth notes, rests, common major keys and supported meters. Complex multi-voice engraving, lyrics, ties and tuplets are outside this editor’s current scope.
