One artifact, three previews
Sheet Music, Numbered Notation, and Piano Roll below all come from the same public demo score data, so tempo, meter, and measure count agree.
Examples
Real transcription examples
This page shows one public demo transcription — the same bundled score data used on the homepage. It is an AI-generated, editable draft for clean solo piano, not publication-grade engraving and not a demo of arbitrary instruments. There are no MusicXML, MIDI, PDF, or raw JSON downloads here.
How to read this example
Honest audition
If you play the clip, it is synthesized from the transcription notes. It is not the original recording.
What this is not
It is not a customer story, a published accuracy metric, or a finished engraving. Use it to judge whether the draft format is useful, then start from your own piano audio.
Supported formats and limits
These limits match the live upload and plan rules. Free is a 30-second preview. Paid plans unlock longer files and MusicXML, MIDI, PDF, Numbered Notation, and Piano Roll access.
File formats
Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, WEBM, MP4, or MOV. Browser recording and supported public YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok links use the same transcription job model.
Plan duration and size
Free previews the first 30 seconds and accepts files up to 25 MB. Pianist allows files up to 6 minutes and 150 MB. Composer allows files up to 15 minutes and 500 MB.
Best source material
Clean solo piano recordings are the strongest fit. Dense mixes, vocals, drums, and noisy audio usually need cleaner input and more human editing.
What the draft is for
Song2Notation generates an AI-editable draft. Export MusicXML to continue in MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale, or Dorico. It is not publication-grade engraving.

Listen to the demo
About 32 seconds, synthesized from the notes of the same demo transcription the previews below use — it is not the original recording. Listen to the demo, then read the score.

01Staff score
Sheet Music
The staff preview comes from the same demo transcription as the two previews below, so the hand split, meter, and measure count all line up.
- What you see: right- and left-hand staves across the demo's 16 measures.
- Good for: judging whether the melody, hand split, and bar structure are readable.
- Boundary: an AI draft needs human review before publication.

02Right-hand melody
Numbered Notation
The right-hand melody in numbered notation, generated from the same demo transcription, so you can check the melody against the staff view.
- What you see: 1=key, meter, tempo, bar lines, and the full right-hand melody.
- Good for: singing the line, checking the main melody, and teaching prompts.
- Boundary: it keeps the right-hand melody; left-hand accompaniment is not folded into it.

03Falling view
Piano Roll
Every note in the same demo transcription, falling toward the keyboard with right-hand notes in teal and left-hand notes in violet.
- What you see: pitch, duration, hand colors, and the bottom keyboard.
- Good for: checking rhythm density, note placement, and hand distribution.
- Boundary: playback sync and the 30-second preview limit live on the result page.

FAQ
Can I download MIDI, MusicXML, or PDF from this page?
No. This examples page is a visual demo only. Exports stay on completed result pages according to the active plan.
Is the audition the original piano recording?
No. The clip is synthesized from the transcribed notes so you can hear the draft, not the source performance.
Does this example prove the tool works for every instrument?
No. The demo is a clean solo-piano draft. That is the intended first-release path.
