Licensing
Different features of the API are separately licensed allowing you maximum flexibility to pay for only those parts you need.
The unlicensed evaluation SDK comes with all features enabled (some with time limits) for evaluation, and displays a red ‘watermark’ overlaid on the score. On receipt of payment for a licence a key file will be provided which removes the watermark and provides the required features.
A licence once purchased does not expire. New versions with bugs fixed and new features can be downloaded, and the purchased features will continue to work, or a new key will be supplied free of charge to maintain the purchased features.
It is not necessary to purchase a licence for the display feature if you don’t wish to display score. A licence for the synth feature on its own enables you to play MusicXML files without displaying them.
Any app using SeeScore should display an acknowledgement in the UI and in the documentation with the text: “SeeScore MusicXML rendering is used under license from Dolphin Computing http://www.seescore.co.uk”.
Discounts
A demo (‘Lite’) version of a licensed app is licensed at no extra cost. A second platform or second app with the same licence will be charged at 90% of the original price. Subsequent apps/platforms for 80%.

item colouring allows specification of items to recolour on draw. The score contents feature is required also to use this
