*UPDATE: Since 1st of June, Avid has withdrawn their offer for free remote licences and we no longer have any to give out. We are working on alternative ways to provide access. In the meantime, you can either purchase a monthly licence (£8), use the trial version or use an alternative free scoring software such as Musescore.
