I agree. If "Write your music scores online" is not enough for you to understand the product, then you are probably not a target user.

Similarly, lots of ad tech and dev tools landing pages are unintelligible to people who probably don't want to use the product, but perfectly reasonable to those who might.

I can't see how you can make such a comment while being efficient. When you're looking for some software, you don't want "X that does Y". There are already solutions (maybe hacky ones) to do Y, so you want some X that will be good in your workflow. And this is not something you can decide with "Do Y. Awesomely." Honestly the current page is not so bad, but it is still a far-cry that the convincing thing: a demo, a quickstart tutorial, or a video.
