Score preparation and display for a Tunetext URL is usually completed in the fraction of a second after the URL is launched in a web browser..

Because the score is entirely described by a list of parameters encoded as string of alphanumeric symbols, once the syntax of Tuntext URLs are understood, it is possible to quickly change the peformance (tempo, instrumentation, volume) and display of the score (type of staff, the selection of voices displayed in the score, score coloring by melodic interval, harmonic interval and pitch class).

The pitches and durations of each note, rest, and chord are visible in a tunetext URL and may be changed by editing their description iwithin the URL.

Links are also presented within this window which can produce HTML directives, which when copied into a webpage can cause the score to be performed in various ways.

Links are provided to produce HTML for four different score preentations.

The first presentation plays the score when the containing web page is loaded.

The second presentation provides a controller which allows the user to play the score from beginning to end when the controller's play button is pressed.

The third presentation provides a controller which loops the entire score when the controller's play button is pressed.

The fourth presentation displays the the score image as a button. When the user clicks on the score image, a tunetext panel is launched which performs the score, This presentation allows for a musical idea to be transmitted easily around the web via web pages and via email.

Demonstration links are provided next to each HTML production link to show how each presentation format operates within a webpage.

Email links are also provided to allow a user to email the MIDI sequence, printable score and example HTML to their mailbox, so that the score can be installed on their own webpages.

At the bottom of a tunetext page a link is provided to copy the entire tunetext to the end of the user's workscore on the SongTrellis site, if they are logged in as a SongTrellis user.
