• Is DomiSol a free solfa editor?

  Yes. DomiSol is a free online solfa editor (and jianpu editor) that runs in your browser, no install, no card. Write tonic solfa (d r m f s l t) or jianpu (1 2 3 4 5 6 7), hear it play back, arrange SATB, and share a link or export a PDF. All of that is free permanently, with no card; paid plans cover the AI credits and the print-ready exports.

• What's the difference between tonic solfa and jianpu?

  Both are movable-do systems where the tonic of the key is named '1' (jianpu) or 'do' (solfa). Solfa uses syllables like d r m f s l t and is dominant in African and British choral traditions. Jianpu uses numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and is the standard in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Indonesia. DomiSol lets you flip between them on any score with one click, the music stays the same, only the glyphs change.

• Can DomiSol write my choir's warm-ups?

  Yes. Describe the warm-up in plain words, “a five-note scale on mah from C up to G and back”, or pick a preset, and DomiSol writes it as a normal solfa or jianpu score: the pattern once, repeated with a printed key change at every step, the syllables under every note and a breath mark at the end of each repetition. Play it climbing key by key, print the PDF, or share the link with the choir. The preset builder is free; turning a sentence into the settings costs 1 AI credit.

• Can I write SATB four-part harmony?

  Yes. DomiSol supports multi-part scores out of the box. Convert any single-melody score into Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass parts with one click, and edit each part independently with the active-part selector.

• Does it have audio playback?

  Yes, every score plays back instantly through the Web Audio API using Tone.js. Each note highlights as it plays so you can sing or rehearse along. Tempo and key are editable on the fly.

• Can I export to PDF?

  Yes. Export any score to print-ready PDF in either solfa or jianpu mode. Perfect for handing out to choir members on Sunday morning.

• Is it free?

  DomiSol has a generous free tier covering single-melody scores, SATB editing, playback, PDF export, and unlimited share links. Pro and Team plans add AI harmonization, MIDI export, real-time collaboration, and white-label embedding for church management software.

• Does it work on mobile?

  Yes, the editor is responsive and the score viewer is optimized for sharing via WhatsApp on a low-end Android phone over 3G. Notes are touch-target friendly and the entire UI scrolls horizontally on small screens.

• Why not just use MuseScore or Flat.io?

  MuseScore and Flat.io are excellent staff-notation editors, but solfa and jianpu are second-class citizens, you need plugins, the rendering is wrong, and the workflow assumes Western staff notation. DomiSol is solfa- and jianpu-native: those are the editing modes, not export formats.

• Can I import an existing score?

  Yes, three ways. DomiSol's Image → notation feature reads a photo or PDF of ANY score (printed staff, handwritten solfa, jianpu, a hymnbook page) and converts it into an editable DomiSol score; multi-page PDFs are supported. You can also import a MusicXML or MIDI file straight from MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius, or any DAW, DomiSol converts the staff notation to solfa or jianpu in your browser. Open the editor and look under the AI tab.

• How accurate is the photo recognition?

  It uses a vision-language model that understands all three notation systems, staff, solfa, and jianpu, including handwritten ones. For clean printed scores it's near-perfect; handwriting and low-light phone snaps may need a few corrections, which is why the recognized score lands directly in the editor for you to tweak. A page costs 4 AI credits, so the 10 free credits every account starts with cover 2 pages, and Pro's 40 a month cover 10.
