Built because FINAL-FINAL.pdf kept winning
Divisi started as the score workflow for Skule Nite — a large student-run production with new orchestrations for every song. Same deadlines. Same rewritten charts. Same “which version are we rehearsing?” problem. Now it’s for any ensemble that lives that life.
Who it's for
Arrangers, music directors, copyists, and librarians who need everyone on the latest released score — without losing working drafts, and without re-engraving every revision by hand.
Upload MuseScore files or MusicXML — so Divisi works with music from all popular notation programs, including Sibelius, Finale, and Dorico. PDF-oriented workflows are still on the roadmap.
The engraving behind it
Divisi is built by Nicholas Biancolin, who engraves and prepares musical theater scores and parts in Toronto. That includes the band book for Little Astronaut at Toronto Fringe 2026 — a new musical with a 15-piece ensemble — alongside the student-revue workflow that started at Skule Nite.
The formatter's defaults come from that pit work: readable under a stand light, consistent across a show, and fast enough to re-release when the chart changes again. More on the engraving page.
FAQ
Is everything free during beta?
Yes. While Divisi is in beta, full access is free. At launch, Free stays $0 forever for one editable ensemble (up to fifteen arrangements), with add-ons and Individual for more capacity — see pricing. You won’t be grandfathered into a paid plan, but ensembles created before launch remain fully accessible; new ensemble creation will follow your plan.
How do I sign in?
Create an account with email and password, or continue with Google or Discord. You can also try the standalone part formatter without signing in.
Do I need MuseScore?
No. Divisi accepts MuseScore files and MusicXML, so you can bring scores from MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale, Dorico, and other popular notation programs. It works best with MuseScore files. PDF workflows are still coming.
Where did Divisi begin?
Skule Nite — University of Toronto Engineering's sketch comedy revue — kept rewriting music under deadline pressure. Someone always had the wrong PDF. Divisi grew out of that toolkit: clear versions, parts that stay with the arrangement, and engraving that can keep up when the chart changes.
