Two thumbs down from me.
I found this program difficult to work with. It is possible that it is my computer since the problems I had were related to the mouse and moving across the page. The program did not respond as quickly as I would have liked. I clicked on the measure to insert a pitch and I had to wait for it to show up. If I needed to change a rhythm, it would take longer than expected to make the adjustment. The keyboard shortcuts didn't work and the editing palette didn't stay where I wanted it. The strip layout didn't scroll as I worked. I had to move the scroll bars to see what I was doing.
I'm sure this would be an effective tool for the classroom with the proper hardware. Students could enter a melody and experiment with harmonizations and/or countermelodies.

The problems you describe would appear to be mostly related to the computer you were working on. Be sure you have the most recent version of Flash installed on your computer. Also, the better your Internet connection, the better experience you'll have with this program. While it certainly has limitations, Noteflight is a pretty nice tool for free, with lots of possibilities for its use in music education.

In m. 19, move the "G" chord symbol so it doesn't overlap the triplet. There are wrong notes in m. 22 & 24. There's a note missing in m. 30.
