University of Alberta Library is excited to offer a 30-day trial of the nkoda digital score platform, which provides access to scores as well as technical and methods materials from recognized publishers. To get started:

1. Complete a one-time registration for the platform by clicking on the Red "Get started" button. Once you've registered, don't forget to set up your individual profile! (Please refer to the institutional sign in instructions if you have difficulties.)
   • You can continue to use this web-based nkoda digital score platform (use the Green "Log in" button) to access nkoda, browse the nkoda library, and work within your profile, however, you can only work with scores and other published content in their apps.
2. Download the appropriate nkoda app:
   • One nkoda app for Windows, Android, Mac and Chrome OS devices (nkoda app tutorial)
   • Two nkoda iOS apps for iphones and ipads:
     • The nkoda iOS Library app (nkoda iOS Library Tutorials)
     • The nkoda iOS Music Reader app (nkoda iOS Music Reader Tutorials)
3. Log in (don't sign up!) to the nkoda app with the same email and password that you used to register your account in Step 1

Try it out and please provide feedback by filling out this brief 5-question survey. Your feedback will be valuable in helping us to determine whether we will subscribe to nkoda ongoing.
