With a Scorch file, your music is always modified,
played and printed and from within your browser. There is not a
separate piece of software that needs to be installed - just the
Scorch browser plug-in.
|
With a Solero file, once you purchase a selection, you
need to open the Solero software on your computer and download the
scores into the software - so you are actually leaving our site to
modify, play and print the music! |
