The type of product preview that displays on product pages will be determined by the type of product that you are viewing. For clarification of these product types, please see: What are the different product types that Musicnotes sells?
The information that describes the arrangement can be found in the quick details to the right of the product preview, or further down the product page under the tabs contained within the “About this product” section.

Music purchased on your Musicnotes account may be accessed by navigating to “Print your sheet music” link under the "My Account" options on our website, or by signing in to any of our Musicnotes Player apps or Musicnotes Web App and downloading your purchased music. After purchasing sheet music, the product page preview will continue to playback and preview only the first page.
* For one-page products, the preview will show one-to-two lines worth of music. Additionally, at the discretion of the artist and/or publisher, a product may only display a preview of the first page; once purchased, you will have access to all pages of the product.
