A small place to write music
Stavelet is an independent tool made by a small team. It is for a few bars of melody, a classroom exercise or an idea you want on paper. We do not require an account and do not set a paid limit on the number of scores you save locally.
What this editor does
One voice, treble or bass clef, a major key signature and a small set of common time signatures. Enter notes and rests, hear a simple synthesized preview, then print the part or export MusicXML. This is a focused melody editor rather than a full orchestration application.
How we check the notation
Rhythm uses exact integer units: one quarter note is eight units. A dot adds half the original duration. The program fills each measure to its time signature and divides any crossing note into tied segments. Pitch uses a letter, octave and explicit accidental or the selected key signature.
We check hand-worked examples in automated tests: four quarters fill 4/4; six eighths fill 6/8; a dotted half plus a half in 4/4 becomes a full first bar and a tied quarter in the next. A4 is 440 Hz in equal temperament. The same notes drive the engraved score, playback and MusicXML.
The notation drawing uses the MIT-licensed abcjs library. Our MusicXML exporter is separate and is checked against the MusicXML 4.0 structure. These checks do not replace reviewing pitches, spelling and page breaks before a performance or publication.
Your work belongs with you
