1. How do I preview a song before I decide to purchase?

All of the selections in the Solero library will have an image preview page so you can see what the score looks like before you decide to purchase. There is also a midi file clip of all selections to allow you to hear what the first part of the score sounds like. You can also print the image file directly to your printer but there will be a watermark covering part of the score.

2. Once I pay for a song, how can I print and hear the music?

Once you pay for a selection you then have the permission to download this file into your Solero software. The first time you purchase a Solero score, you will be assigned a 'User Name' and a 'Password'. This will be your Sheet Music Digital Solero account. This will be your User Name and Password for any and all future purchases of Solero selections. The way to download your music is to open the Solero software on your computer and log in to your Solero account. Any files that have been purchased will then be downloaded onto your computer. You can print the authorized number of times, watch and hear all pages of the score play live, and even work with your sheet music off line!

4. How many times will I be able to print the song I have paid for?

You will be able to print 2 copies of each selection of music purchased. The reason for 2 is in case you get a paper jam, run out of ink or experience any difficulty with your first copy.

8. Can I download the file onto more than one computer?

When you purchase a Solero score, you can download the file 3 times. The computer that you use to download the score the first time is the only computer that will have the 'print' rights so the printing must be done from that computer. However, you can install Solero and log in from 2 different computers and download your purchased scores to those 2 computers. This may be a school that needs the score on 2 or 3 different computers or a teacher that has a school computer, a home computer and a laptop. The purchased music can be downloaded to all 3 computers - but the printing must be done from the computer that has downloaded the score(s) first.

9. Can I play my music while off line?

Yes. As explained above you can download the score to 3 different computers. There is a file that is downloaded to your computer and this can be opened off line at any time.

13. What can I do when I receive the following error message: "Could not find the www.sunhawk.com:80 Internet server at this time, please try again later."?

This means you are running a firewall security program or are behind a firewall. You need to change the settings on your end to allow your machine to connect to our secure server. If you are running a Norton firewall, please do the following:

  • Open the firewall program

  • Click the Config button

  • Click the Programs tab

  • Scroll down and find the Solero Viewer in your list

  • Change the setting from 'Block All' to 'Permit All' \

  • Try again

We have noticed that temporarily turning off Norton Security does not solve the connection problem, so you do need to change the settings.
