Awesome

Just needs percussion editing
Four regardless, I think this is the easiest and fastest note entry app I've used on any platform. Just add working w percussion and five stars.

Problème saisie de notes Apple Pencil pages 2 et suivantes

Je crois avoir compris le problème :

Contrairement à ce que je pensais, même si je reviens d’un autre mode, la saisie de notes via l’Apple Pencil fonctionne bien comme il faut… sauf à partir de la 2ème page. En fait, quand je veux saisir des notes avec le pencil sur la 2(et+)ème page, ça n’en saisit que sur la première page (d’autant plus que peu importe la page que je survole, l’ « ombre » du pencil correspond toujours aux portées de la première page). Et quand j’essaie avec un effectif assez important comme un orchestre symphonique (où il y a le titre en 1ère page, mais le tout premier système est sur la 2ème page), forcément, l’appli croit que j’essaie de saisir des notes avec mon Apple Pencil sur la première page où il n’y a pas de portées, et c’est pour ça que ça ne marche pas, et que je suis obligé d’utiliser le clavier de piano ! Et ce n’est pas le basculement automatique en mode saisie de note quand mon Pencil survole la page qui changera grand chose.

Pourriez-vous régler ce problème s’il vous plait ?

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Grâce à vos explications, j’ai pu trouver la cause du problème et le corriger. Le correctif est disponible dans la dernière mise à jour sur l’App Store : la saisie au Pencil fonctionne maintenant sur toutes les pages. N’hésitez pas à me dire si quelque chose ne fonctionne toujours pas !

Problem in full score view

I open a musescore file. 10 parts, 100 measures (average Brass Band 4 minutes song).
When in full score view, partition si one very long line too small to view or edit notes.
Page break button is grey a d cannot be used.
When I export full score, the pdf is allo one large page, With no page breaks.

Individual part view/edit is ok.

The rest of software is great. Exactly what iPad/iphone users have been waiting for to edit musescore files.

Something else : In cant remote horizontal frames

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed report, and for the kind words! You found two real bugs, and both are fixed in Aria 6.0: • Scores saved in MuseScore's continuous view now open as normal pages, so the full score is easy to read, zoom, and edit, and PDF export produces proper pages. Let me know if you have any questions!

Works very well

I haven’t tried anything complicated yet, but note entry is quite easy - no need for a tutorial or help, it works quite naturally.

fantastic app

An app that reads Musescore files (mscz) and renders them perfectly and beautifully, unlike the Songbook app made by Musescore. Transpose works like a charm. Repositioning items works like a charm. An amazingly useful app if you work as an accompanist with vocalists. Great job Jack!
