Too sad, yes. Wish we knew why. 馃槥馃挃
Head's up, the #WayBackMachine version doesn't allow for proper saving purposes.
It's only now good if you want to write down your work and then use Audacity or some equivalent to.tecord the playback as a ,wav for future reference, when you're still stuck re-writing your entire piece from scratch.
So IOW, not great for complex-structured compositions, ONLY good for quick "memo notes" of reference material that you'd like to build on at a much later time, using different software.
In the meantime, www.soundation.com seems to so far be a best equivalent to OS. With more options (like effects sampling & loop intehration).
The midi portion however, leaves much to be desired however, in that you are "guessing" at each note you place on their midi playback board.
OS was great in that you could physicallt hear the notes and tones RIGHT AWAY, when you placed them. Whereas #Soundation leaves that part a ,"mystery" so that you have to keep on playing back your sequence in order to GUESS which notes got placed wrong, by accident. (That part is a waste of time, if you ask me.)
Otherwise, it may be a viable alternative in the meantime for you...unless you have settled into an alternative, by now.
Cheers & best wishes,

Online Sequencer doesn't claim any ownership of your work. Licensing for the instrument sounds used is kind of a gray area though since we didn't record/synthesize them from scratch, we put them together from other soundfonts and effect plugins that are available for free online. Here's a very long debate on another website about this issue. But it seems like the consensus is that you wouldn't get in trouble.
If you really want to be sure everything is licensed properly, you could export a MIDI file and use another program (TiMidity++ is an example) to render it to .mp3 using any General MIDI soundfont that has a license allowing commercial use.
LMMS is free - it is a bit more complex than onlinesequencer, but on the other hand you can do more with it.
if she wants to use music notation instead of a grid
is another free software
