It’s Exactly What I Was Searching For!

I’m a woodwind teacher/performer and a somewhat new iPad user who was looking for a simple note notation software that would allow me to write out exercises for my students and my own practice. I’m happy to report back that THIS is exactly what I was looking for!

It’s simple and perfect for taking handwritten staff notation. You can color code too in any such color you choose. I was happy to see that you can even print the page. It’s everything I could ask in a music notation app. Thank you, Developer!

Fantastic!

This is exactly the app I’ve been looking for, and it does what it needs to do so well! Very natural to use, even though the writing system takes a little getting used to without Apple Pencil gestures, you don’t miss it with the precision of the lasso erase tool. Highly recommend this app! ETA: super responsive developer! Love this app.

Thank's so much for your wonderful review! And thank you for sharing the outstanding issues - I have addressed them in the latest release. Please reach out with more suggestions or concerns.

Fantastic! Minor issues.

This is exactly the app I’ve been looking for, and it does what it needs to do so well! Very natural to use, even though the writing system takes a little getting used to without Apple Pencil gestures, you don’t miss it with the precision of the lasso erase tool. There are a couple bugs: the file names cannot be changed, and scores generate with only one system regardless of the number specified at the beginning, but they are very minor and easy to work around. Highly recommend this app!

Brilliant!

I tried searching for this exact app recently with no luck. I usually use StaffPad for the sounds, but if I’m in a hurry, a manuscript tool to quickly write an idea down is handy. Thank you for making this!
