Effective 15 November 2026. These terms explain the permitted use of Music Sheet Maker, its original resources and the practical limits of its browser tools. The published tools are free to use without registration or payment. Choose an appropriate tool from the music toolbox, read its instructions and keep a separate copy of work that matters to you.
Use the tools within their described scope
The notation editor supports a single melodic staff with its listed pitches, rests, durations and settings. It does not provide a full multi-part score, simultaneous independent voices, ties, tuplets or lyrics. Its editable project format is specific to this application. Choose a fuller notation program when the musical task requires features outside that scope.
The MIDI converter produces one simplified melodic voice and keeps the highest pitch at a shared quantized onset. It does not preserve a complete piano arrangement, pedal behavior or expressive tempo map; notes split across bars have no ties. The MusicXML viewer and transposer require notation files, rather than PDF recognition or audio transcription. Review their format, size and score limits before importing.
Keep responsibility for the music you use
Using the tools does not transfer ownership of your original music to Music Sheet Maker. Opening a file locally also does not publish it on the website. You decide what to download, print, email or distribute. The site does not check the permissions attached to each composition, arrangement, recording, lyric or edition you choose to use.
Use your own material or material you have permission to reproduce and adapt. A free tool does not supply permission for someone else's protected work. Consult the copyright policy for the site's original-resource approach and how to report a concern about something published here.
Print and adapt original resources for learning
Original manuscript layouts, templates and practice exercises in the printable library may be downloaded, printed and adapted for personal study, lessons and classroom handouts. You may add your own instructions, examples or learner activities for those purposes. Check the exercise and answer view before making copies, particularly after changing page settings.
Do not repackage the unchanged resource library as a competing download collection or present it as your own collection of original templates. Do not imply that Music Sheet Maker endorses your product, lesson or organization. Permission to use a blank template does not resolve separate permissions for music or other material you add to it.
Download backups before replacing local work
The application has no account-based project database or recovery service. Editor autosave stores a working copy in the current browser; it is not a permanent archive. Starting a new project, clearing site data, changing browsers or losing access to the device can make that copy unavailable. Download an editable project before replacing important work.
PDF and SVG exports are useful for printing or artwork, but they do not replace the editor's project backup. Imported-file tools and page generators also require you to download the result you want to keep. The help centre explains supported saving workflows and common browser problems. Check that an exported file opens as intended before relying on it.
Check musical accuracy and print output
Review generated notation before teaching, rehearsing, submitting or distributing it. Conversion can simplify music, transposition can require enharmonic respelling, and re-engraved MusicXML can use different page breaks. The transposer does not select a destination instrument or rewrite its written-to-sounding-pitch declaration. Check register, accidentals, key signatures and chord symbols in context.
Print one physical test before making a classroom set. Browser audio, printer margins and device behavior vary. Practice counters and worksheet answer keys support particular exercises; they do not assess overall musicianship or replace a teacher's judgment.
Respect service limits and contact channels
Do not interfere with website operation, deliberately bypass protective file limits or use the contact address for spam. Share only material you are entitled to disclose when asking for help. A reproducible short example and clear steps usually explain a technical problem better than a large collection of files.
Third-party software, fonts and referenced educational material retain their applicable notices and licenses. A source link explains background information; it does not imply that its publisher reviewed, certified or endorsed this website.
Understand availability, changes and support
The tools are provided as available. Features, supported formats and technical limits may change as the application develops. We do not promise uninterrupted operation, perfect file conversion, professional engraving or a particular support response time. Test a small example before using a tool for a time-critical task.
Material changes to these terms should be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. For a question about use, a resource problem or a correction, follow the contact instructions and email contact@musicsheetmaker.com. Describe the affected page and the behavior you need clarified.
