Best Music Notation App

I did pay for the notation pencil add on and while you don’t need it, it works well. I bought other notation apps for the others and they just sit unused. Also if you own Fender Studio Pro (Studio One Pro) the extra music pack is free. Finally Fender Notation is updated, some of the others do not.

Excellent, including superb handwriting recognition!

I’ve been a big fan of Notion for years, and recently I got an iPad and discovered the handwriting feature - I’m so impressed! The recognition of my notation is fast and precise. As a pro singer and composer I often need to transcribe and notate music quickly, and this app feels incredibly natural and intuitive… I can tell already it’s going to save me a huge amount of time. It feels much closer to writing on paper, but with all the advantages of notation software!

Pros and cons of Notion

There are benefits to the program like it is easy to navigate, it is IPad friendly, and has good sound quality. The things that should be improved is that instruments should be of a wider variety, for example; I wish there was percussion staffs that are 5 lines without it being drum set, and that percussion notation is wrong like Flam should not be written as a word in the staff, it is like writing fingerings instead of accidentals. There are other things that I could harp about but I just think the producers should check some of their tools and compare them to other popular programs like MuseScore and Dorico and see what they should change. Other than that, I don’t plan to stop using this program.

コード表記

コードの表記について 7thなどについては、アルファベットの右下のほうが見やすい。また、そのコードについても、歌詞やテキストのようにフォントの大きさを変更出来るようにして欲しい。とても読みにくい。
