New update disaster

Did the new update and now I can’t open a single one of my files.
UPDATE: Now all the files have disappeared from the app.

Deleted my in-app purchases

I loved this app so much, since it helped me to write music. But sometime last month, it reset all of my in-app purchases and now I can’t access the folders which stored some of my most important songs. It would have been 5 stars if the in-app purchase I made was still there.

Not what it is advertised

I paid $9.99 for the ability to write bluegrass banjo tabs. There is no way to adjust the tuning on their “strings” and their “strings” have only 4 strings (a bluegrass banjo has 5 strings). Also, they wanted me to pay an additional $9.99 for the ability to have more than 3 projects.

I look forward to a response from the developer telling me that I missed the documentation somewhere and I can do what I purchased it for. In that case I will change my review.

Thanks for your review! You can change the number of strings for any stringed instrument, including a banjo, using the Tuning tool. More information can be found here: https://staventabs.com/hc/guides/ios/instruments-and-tracks/tunings/number-of-strings/. Thanks!

Good but limited

So i think this is a great app, it’s good when you learn how to use it and all but I just don’t like how limited the free version is. You can only use like one instrument from each group and can only have 3 projects at a time. I just think there could be like just a tad bit more available in the free version. I still think it’s an awesome app and the free version does let you do a lot within a project but not outside of it.

Fantastic Guitar Notation App

STAVE ‘n’ Tabs is the best Notation App for Guitarists on the iPhone/IPod. l have used other Notation Apps for a few years and finally tried STAVE ‘n’ Tabs. l should of tried it a Long time ago, you can export your Guitar Notation in Numerous formats that can be used or edited on other apps or Computers Software, my only wish is to add my own fingerings to the Chord diagrams, everything else about this app is superb!

Thanks for your review! We are grateful for the very kind words! A feature for creation of chord diagrams will be implemented in the one of the future releases. For now, in order to create your own diagram, we recommend attempting to input the notes for the chord using tablature and then tap the Recognize chord button located on the Chords panel. Thanks!

Application création musicale.

Superbe application pour créateur, musicien…
Ce petit programme est une vraie merveille pour la création d’œuvre de musique à un instrument ou plusieurs instruments, à un voie ou plusieurs. Les sons sont très réaliste. Je vous le recommande fortement.

Underrated; a great tool for drummers

I’ve spent about week searching for the best app for drum notation on ipad. Between this, and the giants like Muscore and Dorico, this is the best one that suits my needs so far. Unlike the others, this app can import midi/xml, convert them to proper drum notation, can select multiple bars for looping, and playback notation with speed control. All for free. This is just what I need to rehearse and practice songs on drums. The app also runs quite smooth and has a really handsome UI. I haven’t spent too much time creating my own notation on this app, but the tools you do get are intuitive and easier and faster to learn over apps like Dorico.

It’s not completely perfect however. Modifiers or notes like open hi hats do not get translated when importing from midi/xml and requires a purchased add on to edit imported files. The premium add ons are very affordable, but it’s quite annoying. The looping feature seems to be off too. When looping something like 1 bar, the first note seems stutter/delay upon the loop, creating a effect that makes loop sound out of time. Also, the metronome is completely inaudible over the drum kit samples. A mixer is definitely needed for an app like this. I would love to have a mixer that would allow me to have each individual drum kit instrument on the faders.

Great Musician’s Sheet Music Creator

I find this very effective for transcribing guitar music. Much of the man-machine interface is obvious or can be discovered by experimentation. Occasionally, I accidentally press something which leads me to loose my work. However, on the whole, very good. Particularly for working out tab chord voicings in open tunings.

Enjoying the app!

I’m enjoying the app and have purchase the upgrades on my iPad. It’s a nice middle ground between limited free apps and the expensive commercial behemoths, especially the ability to add ornaments common to traditional music.

I’ve got a couple questions:
• I thought I had upgraded the desktop version, but when I opened it recently after a break, I discovered I was still on the basic version. Is there a way to see if I had purchase the upgrade previously? The app didn’t find one when I tried to restore.
• I’ve been playing a lot of traditional music, and I’m curious if you have plans to add ABC format import or export. That would save me having to use another program to convert to MIDI or MusicXML first.
