NiceChart

NiceChart is the world's first customizable sheet music solution. Our MusicXML based platform is built to customize arrangements to a customer's instrumentation, proficiency and personal preferences. NiceChart will be able to leverage our patented technology for use in any type of musical arrangement, but is focusing on lead sheet, solo piano, and especially band/orchestra arrangements for its launch. While content will be created by our in house arrangers, NiceChart is also designed to be a platform that makes existing content currently sold by sheet music publishers (such as Hal Leonard and Alfred) customizable. NiceScore is the name for our band/orchestra product and because of the challenges associated with customizing an ensemble versus an individual piece of music, is the most sophisticated of our product options. Music Directors select the instruments found in their ensemble and then rate each players’ proficiency. Our system then determines how to highlight the best players in the group, while providing playable parts to less experienced performers. The music director saves time in having to rewrite parts for some instruments and editing parts for others. A custom conductor’s score is created in the process as well as individual parts for each performer. Some of the features found across the site are the ability to change keys or instruments, and instrument range/difficulty flexibility depending on the user’s proficiency level. We want the user to make their purchase most relevant to their needs, so we offer other features such as the ability to add or remove lyrics in lead sheets, add TAB and/or Chord Diagrams to guitar parts, and include note names inside the notehead on beginner solo piano arrangements. We want to bring this technology and approach not only to our website, but to the entire sheet music industry by licensing this technology to other retailers worldwide.
