Noteflight score and review

Noteflight gives the unique opportunity to notate music exclusively online and free.  The sharing and commenting features make it almost like a social media venue where musicians showcase their creativity.  This would be a very attractive aspect of Noteflight to young students who are obsessed with social media.  I did find it more difficult and time-consuming to create a score than on Musescore.  Musescore had several similarities to Finale, making note entry fast with the number keys.  Noteflight allows you to enter notes with letter note names, but you have to chose rhythmic values manually by clicking the note type.  This took me a long time even though the piece I notated was not very rhythmically diverse.  I can imagine that a complex score with many rhythmic variations would take forever.  Noteflight would be a good option in a low budget, short class period  situation where students were asked to make short and simple compositions.  The online aspect also would save memory on computers.  Finale and Sibelius take a huge amount of storage space.
