Has anyone taken a look at Noteflight for online scoring?

It looks quite promising.
Notation and scoring should probably be moved to another thread...
but...
I have begun working on Basic Acoustics and a Basic note/chord
chapters for my Basic Musicianship (fundamentals through chord
inversions and basic counterpoint) course next semester, in which I
plan to create my own text/examples (see the announcement I made about
scale images, MIDI is ready, just not posted yet). I would be glad to
share them (text, scores, MIDI, MP3) as they become available in the
next week and would love to have all of your comments. I think MP3 is
important because students can then listen away from the computer.
What would be great is if everyone were willing to donate one melody
per chapter, either composed or open source. We could then use these
as either examples, use for analysis by students, use as workbook/
homework examples, or even better as a aural skills portion! With 70+
people on in this, the potential would be outstanding. For example...
the chapter on scales... say, 35 examples of scales in the literature,
and 35 newly composed would be more than most teachers could cover in
3 semesters of theory 1 :)
As an aside, I also plan on having Flash based quizzes with scales,
note recognition, chords with inversions, chord quality listening
finished in 2-3 weeks (just before classes start). Again would love
to share and have comments. I will post as soon as they are ready.
As note, I am trying to put ALL chords (through sevenths), notes, etc
in to these Flash quizzes eventually and will have the images ready to
share. Questions would be random from all available data.
I'll keep you all posted,
Cheers, and happy holidays,
