What is ScoreShare®

ScoreShare® is a new Vivaldi Studio technology.

Now for the first time sheet music can be shared and yet still protect the rights of the artist or arranger of the music.

Now for the first time you can purchase software and music and share the license with your friends. If you and your friends want to consolidate your buying power and share the software and scores license, we encourage you to do it.
