Welcome to Enote! This Quick Start Guide will get you up and running in no time.
Start by watching this short video to see some of Enote’s key features in action:
Note that Enote for Android is in its very early development stages. It can currently only be accessed on Android tablets by institutional partners and Premium subscribers on Apple. If you are using Enote for Android, be aware that it has limited capabilities and so you won’t find many of the features detailed below yet.
Rest assured our team is hard at work to add them soon, and that we plan to open up Enote for Android to the general public in the near future. We will share updates on our Help Center and social channels as they happen!
The First Open
Enote is free to browse and use, but you’ll need to create an account to keep your work organized.
Follow the prompts to register with your Apple ID or Email Address. You will need to verify the address if you choose register with an email.
Once your account is created, let us know your primary instrument and musical preferences. This helps us tailor the app and our updates to your needs.
