FAQ
How does Notalune identify notes on sheet music?
Notalune uses your device's camera to scan printed sheet music and overlays the note names directly above the notes in real-time. It supports various naming conventions like English, German, Solfège, and Japanese Katakana.
What are the limitations of the free version of Notalune?
