How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 10.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

I love this plugin… Presently the best in handling sheet music. Wished there was a tab to show all the music on a page at the frontend. This topic was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by HolyOne Tombari Dodoh.

I had major problems getting it to work with my site already configured with Weaver 2 customizations. I found to get this to work I had to run a complete wordpress reinstall and apply the plugin before adding the customizations back in.
