Why Cubby Score?

The structured way to analyze and document orchestral textures

MusicXML Support

Upload MusicXML files (.xml, .musicxml, .mxl) and automatically extract title, composer, instruments, and bar count from your orchestral scores.

Texture Annotation

Annotate sections with texture types (Monophonic, Homophonic, Polyphonic, Melody & Accompaniment) and add multiple layers with instrumentation details.

Export to Excel & CSV

Export your complete analysis to Excel or CSV for further study. Save your work as JSON to resume later.

How It Works

Get started in three simple steps

01

Upload MusicXML

Drag and drop your MusicXML file (.xml, .musicxml, or .mxl). The app extracts title, composer, instruments, and bar count automatically.

02

Annotate Sections

Define bar ranges, select texture types (Homophonic, Polyphonic, etc.), and add layers with instrumentation details for each section.

03

Export Analysis

Export your complete analysis to Excel or CSV. Use the Orchestration Grid to visualize instruments across bars, color-coded by texture.
