Enter music notes on the Mac - Here's how
On Mac, you can easily enter music notes thanks to Apple's own software. We show you how this works in this guide.
Apple GarageBand: Enter music notes
- Open GarageBand and create an empty project.
- Then select the "Software Instrument" option on the left.
- A new project opens in which you can use the record button to enter your music notes. If the music keyboard is not displayed, open it via "Window" and "Music keyboard".
Switch to sheet music view
After you can enter music notes directly into GarageBand, you can also put them directly on sheet music.
- Click on the scissors symbol in the top left of the program bar.
- Then click on "Notation" in the area that opens.
- The staff lines will appear if you have already recorded something.
