How to Embed a YouTube Playlist in Notion?

How Do You Embed Soundcloud to Notion?

For those who would like to use SoundCloud instead, you can follow the steps below to add your SoundCloud to your Notion.

Upon entering Soundcloud, look for your desired song, album, or playlist. After locating the track, you wish to add to Notion, click the Share button to send it to your playlist. When this window appears, click Embed and copy the code from the Ccode area. 

There, you can adjust a few options to suit your individual preferences. As an example, you will notice that you may customize the Notion pop-up to display in a color of your choosing. Ours is set to the embedded pop-up by default, but you can customize yours as you like!

First, you have to create an embed block again.  If you don’t want to use the /embed shorthand, you can type / and scroll down to Embed to make this block.

3. Time to link your SoundCloud to Notion

With the embed block in place, we can insert the code we copied in the first step. Then the block containing your Soundcloud track will appear. You should now be able to see the pop-up window for our music, complete with its title, artwork, and play/pause controls. 

Can You Add a Music Sheet to Notion?

Musicians on the go will love Notion. With the Notion app, composers can take their work on the go, especially if they plan on creating their music sheet. With the help of Scan Score, you can add your music sheet to Notion.

1. Download a smartphone scanner app (e.g. Scan Score)

2. Scan your sheet music

Use a scanner to take a picture of sheet music. Here is the best digital rendition of the score you can obtain. Even so, it does call for a supplementary tool. Importing from a file is a convenient option, but understand that quality is of the utmost importance. The quality of a scanned document will mirror the original image’s quality. Picture or PDF. 

However, this approach is incredibly useful and quick if you already possess a visual representation of the music you wish to modify. You can use the scanner app on your mobile device to scan an image as a fallback. 

3. Time to edit your music

ScanScore will create a digital copy of the sheet music and show it alongside the original photograph. One of the best parts of the software is that you can use it to instantly and directly evaluate the similarities and differences between two musical works. You’ll also notice that the display automatically zooms in on both sides as you zoom in on one.
