Printing

Though Soundslice is intended to be used interactively, we do offer a print option that generates a PDF. This is available in the following cases:

• For slices you’ve created yourself: printing is available if you’re in a paid plan.
• For slices other people have created: printing is available if the slice creator has enabled it.

How to print

You’ll find the option to print slices in the player’s settings menu. When viewing a piece of music in Soundslice, click at lower right to open the player settings, then click the Print button:

After you click the button, we’ll open a new window with a freshly generated PDF for you. You can then save this PDF or print it.

Customizing the print settings

Your PDF will honor the following settings from your Soundslice environment:

• The current transposition
• The current visible instruments
• The current notation appearance
• The current “Hide empty staves” setting
• The current notation width

This means it’s possible to print a single part from a multi-part score. Or you can decide to hide tablature, or enable stemmed tablature, or tweak any of the available notation visibility options.

What if I don’t see the Print button?

The person who created the slice must enable printing. If they haven’t, you won’t see the button and printing won’t be possible.

Is there a way for me to pay Soundslice in order to enable printing on any piece of music on the site?

No, that’s not the way Soundslice works. On this site, whoever creates the music gets to decide whether it’s printable.

If I’ve created some music in Soundslice, can I print it without enabling printing for other people?

Yes — you can use the separate Export PDF function. See here for info.
