This editor runs on its own engine, it isn't MuseScore or Finale, so don't expect every advanced feature from those desktop programs. But it covers what most people need for a guitar, piano, choir or band score: multiple voices, chords, tuplets, ties, articulations and dynamics, plus exporting to PDF, MIDI, WAV and image, and importing MusicXML files. The difference is that here you don't need to install anything or pay for a license: it all runs free in the browser. For a very long orchestral score or highly detailed engraving, those desktop programs will still give you more room.
Pick a value in the Notes tab (from whole to thirty-second) and click the staff at the height you want: the note is placed and sounds. You can drag any note to change its pitch, select several with Shift and copy, paste or transpose the block. The professional score is engraved below in real time.
