Sharing and exporting
Send a link that needs no account, print a solfa or jianpu PDF, send an MP3 they can just play, embed a score in a site, or export MIDI for a DAW.

Share a link
Share puts your score on the web at a short link. Anyone who opens it gets a read-only viewer with playback — no account, no install, on any phone. That’s the point: your choir shouldn’t need to sign up to read the music.
Shared scores are live. Keep editing and the link updates for everyone watching it, which is genuinely useful when the link is up on a projector and you’re fixing a wrong note from the piano.
The Share dialog also offers an embed snippet — an <iframe> you can paste
into a church website or blog post, so the score plays inline there. There’s a
white-label toggle that drops the DomiSol credit from the embed.
Export a sheet
Export offers six formats.
| Format | What you get |
|---|---|
| Current view | A PDF exactly as the editor shows it — solfa or jianpu, whichever is displayed |
| Hymnal layout | A compact sheet with the verses written out as text below the music |
| Staff notation | Your score on a Western five-line staff |
| MIDI file | A .mid for any DAW, one track per part |
| Audio (MP3) | A compressed audio file of the score — the one to send someone |
| Audio (WAV) | The same audio, uncompressed: a much bigger file, no encoder involved |
Current view is the one most people want: it’s the notation your singers read, laid out for paper. Switch the display to jianpu before exporting if that’s what you’re handing out — the export follows what’s on screen, which is why the menu item names the current notation.
Hymnal layout is for the case where the music is short and the words are long: one system of notation, then verses 2–5 as text underneath, the way a hymnbook sets it.
Staff notation exists so you can hand a piece to someone who reads staff — an organist, a guest instrumentalist. It’s an export only. DomiSol doesn’t edit staff notation and isn’t trying to.
MIDI carries the articulations and dynamics through, with one track per voice so an SATB score opens cleanly separated in a DAW.
Audio is for the singer who can’t read the notation yet. DomiSol renders the score to sound and downloads it — faster than real time, entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is nothing to wait for on a server. MP3 is the one to send: it’s small and it plays anywhere, including WhatsApp. WAV is the same audio uncompressed, for the rare case you want it lossless.
The render uses each part’s chosen instrument, so a score set to the recorded grand piano exports as that. It ignores mute, solo and practice speed — the file is the whole piece as written — and the level is lifted so it’s audible on a phone speaker whichever voices you used. Audio export is capped at six minutes; past that, export MIDI instead.
Audio export appears on your own scores. It isn’t offered on a shared score page, because rendering minutes of audio is the recipient’s battery, not a choice they made by opening a link.
Staff notation and MIDI are Pro features once the beta ends. The solfa/jianpu PDF and audio are always free — the point of the audio file is the person at the other end, and gating that on the sender’s plan gets it backwards.
Getting music in
The reverse trip lives under Create:
- Import MusicXML / MIDI — from MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius or a DAW. Staff notation is converted to solfa/jianpu on the way in.
- Photo → score (in the ⋯ menu) — a photo or PDF of a printed, handwritten, solfa, jianpu or hymnbook page, recognised into an editable score.
- Paste notation — type or paste jianpu/solfa text.
- Sing to score — hum along to a metronome and get notation back.
Where to go next
- Playing your score back — before you send it.
- Your first score — the basics, if you jumped in here.
