How many NoteCoins do I need?
The number of NoteCoins you need depends entirely on the amount of music you want transcribed. The rule is 1 transcribed note = 1 NoteCoin. The easiest way to estimate your needs is to compare your project with the examples shown on our website. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to help you choose the most suitable package. You can also use the MIDI Counter available throughout various sections of this website.

What type of NoteCoin do I need?
The type of NoteCoin you need depends on the complexity of your project and the services you require.
Bronze NoteCoins are intended for straightforward transcription projects. They are ideal for monophonic melodies, simple rhythmic material, percussion transcription, basic MIDI conversion, and chord identification. If your project does not require detailed harmonic analysis, complex arrangements, or polyphonic instruments, Bronze NoteCoins will be the most economical choice.
Silver NoteCoins, in addition to everything included with Bronze, support polyphonic transcription. They are generally the recommended option for piano and guitar players, as these instruments frequently require the transcription of multiple simultaneous notes.
Gold NoteCoins provide access to the full range of services available on the platform by the NoteCoins. In addition to all Bronze and Silver features, Gold NoteCoins can be used for projects involving complex songs, and specialized delivery formats such as Dorico, Sibelius, and advanced MIDI. Gold NoteCoins include the greatest flexibility for professional projects.
For a detailed comparison of the features included with each NoteCoin type, please refer to the comparison table available on this website.
| FEATURES | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Formats Deliverables: PDF, XML, MuseScore, GuitarPro, MIDI (Basic) and Standard image formats. Check the Frequently Asked Questions section for more info. | |||
| Revisions Each revision consumes a number of NoteCoins equivalent to the number of notes modified during that revision. In the unlikely event that a revision is required due to transcription errors made by the mysheetmusicservices team, the revision will not be charged. | |||
| Transcriptions Usable for music transcription. Each transcribed note deducts one NoteCoin from your profile. | |||

| Chord Notation Usable for chord notation. Chord notation is charged only once per song if it is identical for all instruments, and it consumes the same amount of NoteCoins as the exported MIDI of that chord notation.

Which transcription speed do I need?
The transcription speed determines the maximum number of notes that can be transcribed per day for your orders. Faster speeds are recommended for large projects or situations where you need your transcription completed as quickly as possible.
For example, a speed of 500 notes/day allows us to transcribe 500 notes per day, while 2,000 notes/day allows significantly faster progress. If you’re working on a smaller project or don’t have a strict deadline, a lower speed may be sufficient. If delivery time is important, choosing a higher speed is recommended.
