As of 1^st January 2023, the Mozarteum University will license the digital sheet music app nKoda. nKoda is primarily aimed at practising musicians and, unlike most of its competitors, is not limited to one operating system (Apple/Android/Windows) or one device family (smartphone/tablet/PC).

The music in nKoda can be saved locally in all available forms (individual voices, score, piano score, etc.) and thus used offline. Convenience features include touchless page turning (requires Bluetooth pedal) as well as entering, saving and sharing annotations.

Account creation:

Download the app either from the Google Play Store (Android), Apple App Store (Apple) or Microsoft Store (Windows computers).
Login with institution, select Mozarteum University Salzburg In the following login window, enter the regular Mozarteum credentials (such as for MOZonline)
Enter name and email address (use Mozarteum email address)
A pop-up should open: "Continue as a member of Mozarteum University" → confirm (If this window does not appear, please feedback to daniel.revers@moz.ac.at)
The nKoda library will open. There you should see the following message: "You are logged in as a member of Mozarteum University Salzburg". If the login did not work, there is a "Subscribe" function there.

Private subscriptions are independent of the campus license and are not covered by it. The Mozarteum University does not cover costs for private subscriptions to nKoda.
