Publish songs

You can add GoPlayAlong to a website or blog by embedding it with a simple html code.

Requirements

A cloud account is required to publish songs on your site. You can get started with a free account by signing up at cloud.goplayalong.com.

Embedding needs to be enabled for your account first. Please contact us, and share the website address(es) for which you would like to enable embedding.

Get the embed code

Click the Embed tab on the Sharing dialog. Copy the HTML code and paste it into your website HTML.

Important: Replace the EMBED-KEY property in the HTML code with your own key.

Your embed key will be issued once your account is prepared for embedding. Note that this is not a secret key and can be viewed by anyone.

Control who can have access

In the sharing dialog, you can control access in two ways: either invite specific users by adding their email addresses to the invite list, or enable public sharing.

When you share songs with individual users, they must sign in with a GoPlayAlong Cloud account to access the content.

Your songs won’t be listed in any public database by GoPlayAlong, even if public sharing is turned on.

Customize the player frame

Update the properties of the <iframe> tag as needed to match your web design. By default, the width and height are set, but you can further customize the appearance by adding a style property.

Example: adjusting the border

<iframe width="100%" height="500" src="..." style="border:1px solid lightgrey;"></iframe>

Customize notation

Published songs use your notation and animation preferences by default. However, users can override these with their own settings. You can customize notation and animation preferences in the GoPlayAlong desktop app under Preferences.
