## What is Lala Note?

Lala Note is a sheet-music editor for iPhone and iPad. Write a score, hear it played back, and save or print it — everything happens on your device.

WRITE MUSIC YOUR WAY
• Tap the staff to place notes, or play them on the on-screen piano
• Hum a melody and let the app write it down
• Notes, rests, chords, tuplets, ties, slurs, grace notes and several voices per staff
• Lyrics in several verses, chord symbols, dynamics, articulations and ornaments
• Repeats, voltas, D.C. / D.S., tempo and key changes, transposition

SCORES OF ANY SIZE
• From a single melody to piano scores and full ensembles with many parts
• Page view for printing, or one continuous line for editing and playing along
• Paper size, margins and staff size are yours to set

PLAY IT BACK
• More than 120 instrument sounds, a separate sound and volume for each part
• The score follows the music as it plays
• Start after a countdown, loop a passage, change the tempo while playing

OPEN AND SHARE
• Opens MusicXML (.musicxml, .mxl) and MuseScore (.mscz, .mscx) files
• Saves MusicXML, MuseScore, PDF, PNG and MIDI
• Public-domain classical scores to search and open
• Optional sync with your own Google Drive or Dropbox, so your scores are on all your devices

GOOD TO KNOW
• No account needed
• Your scores stay on your device unless you turn on the sync with your own drive
• 41 languages
• The app shows a banner ad; a one-time purchase removes it

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-22

• Transcription hears instruments better: piano notes are no longer read an octave too high, repeated and soft notes under the metronome's click are kept, notes held under the pedal stay whole, and a source across the room is heard.
• Typing Korean or Japanese in lyrics and text boxes: Enter no longer enters a half-composed word.
• Fast typing on a slow device no longer drops notes, and playback no longer stops while a PDF is being made.
• Playback: ties between notes of the same pitch spelled differently are held, second endings and repeat starts are played as written.
• Imported scores: files written by music21, MuseScore files with a part in a time of its own, chords whose first note is hidden, dynamics written in a music font, and clef changes before grace notes read as they are written.
• Exported files open in other notation programs exactly as the app plays them.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-21

• Lock Screen and Control Center show the score's title (not "localhost").
• Transcribe by singing or playing (the microphone button at the top): the notes appear on the staff as you go, go in where you select and push only that voice back, and one take is one undo step. A new pitch recognizer hears more reliably in noisy rooms; the count-in and the metronome follow the score's time and tempo, with a start timer; sharps and naturals are written as they sound in the key, also in transposing parts.
• Selection: select a block of staves and measures, move it up or down by a step or an octave, transpose it by any interval with the key signature kept, or clear one hand only.
• Help in the menu: type what you want to do and jump straight to the tool. A metronome while playing. Swipe to turn pages.
• Writing: select, copy, paste and delete several measures at once; tuplets inside tuplets; two hairpins over each other; trill lines; measures of any length for cadenzas; any time signature; a key change inside a measure.
• Parts: an instrument can be written without a key signature (horns, trumpets, timpani) or in a key of its own, can change instrument part-way, and any transposition can be entered. Copying, pasting and changing a part's transposition keep the notes sounding as they did.
• Imported scores: MuseScore files (also from MuseScore 4.4 and later) show their accidentals, repeats, jumps and tremolos; MusicXML from Finale, Sibelius, LilyPond and other programs reads more faithfully; parts in a key or time signature of their own read correctly; hidden time signatures stay hidden.
• Engraving: notes that sound together stand in one column, crowded measures stay inside their barlines, notes under 8va/8vb lines are drawn in the printed octave, stems and beams follow the file, large scores fit their paper.
• Playback: the loudest orchestral passages no longer distort, irregular measures last their true length, every instrument sounds over its whole range.
• Exported files: MusicXML and MuseScore files sound exactly as the score plays and open in MuseScore 4 with their ties, clefs, slurs and tablature; MIDI files keep unison notes and long titles.
• Saving is safer when the device's storage is full, memory stays low over long sessions, and many large scores open faster. MIDI export of scores with more than 15 parts, deleting several scores at once, and many smaller fixes.
