## What is Notation?

YOUR DIGITAL SHEET MUSIC LIBRARY. MORE ROOM FOR MUSIC.

Keep your scores organized, add personal annotations and work on challenging passages: Notation brings your PDF library and powerful music tools together on iPad and iPhone. For musicians, students and teachers – at home, in lessons, at rehearsals and in concert.

YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED
Import your own PDF scores and organize your repertoire into collections and setlists. Favorites, search and bookmarks help you find the right piece and passage. Add work details and notes. On-device PDF analysis suggests metadata; you decide what to accept.

Read your music, turn pages and zoom in on details. The included sample score “Recuerdos de la Luna” lets you try things out right away.

PRACTICE WITH LOOPS AT YOUR OWN PACE
Link imported audio or your own recordings to your scores. Place markers in the waveform to define practice sections and repeat exactly the passage you want to work on. Adjust playback speed for the entire track or your loops and progress step by step.

Notation automatically estimates the BPM. If needed, correct the value manually or tap the beat with TAP. Your correction is applied only after you confirm it. These features work with both imported audio and your own recordings.

MAKE YOUR SCORES YOUR OWN
Add fingerings, highlight important passages and write personal reminders directly on the page. Use the pen, text, musical symbols and shapes – from a simple line to a music staff. Colors, line widths and layers help you organize your annotations. Write with Apple Pencil on compatible iPads.

RECORD, LISTEN, KEEP PRACTICING
Record your playing and listen alongside the corresponding score. Then use your recording to practice with loops and adjusted playback speed. A metronome and chromatic tuner round out your toolkit.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PRACTICE
See how long you have practiced and which pieces you have worked on. Weekly, monthly and yearly views show your practice history. Select today or a previous practice day in the calendar to explore its details.

CONNECTED ON IPAD AND IPHONE
Sync your library data through iCloud across devices using the same Apple Account. PDF and audio files are stored in iCloud Drive. Content already available on your device can also be used without an internet connection.

A short interactive introduction helps you get started. Notation is available in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese (Brazil).

START FREE. EXPAND WITH PRO.
Use Notation without a time limit with up to:

• 5 of your own PDF files
• 5 imported audio tracks
• 5 of your own recordings

Each limit applies separately. The included sample score does not count. Items in Trash continue to take up a slot until permanently deleted.

Pro removes these quantity limits with a one-time In-App Purchase – no subscription. The price is shown before you buy. Restore your Pro purchase using the same purchase account.

GOOD TO KNOW
Requires iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 or later. Imports, saved recordings and syncing require iCloud Drive to be enabled and sufficient storage. Recording and the tuner require microphone access.

Notation does not automatically play PDF scores and is not music notation software. Audio files, a sheet music catalog and additional iCloud storage are not included. Other content and practice times shown in screenshots are sample data.

## Pricing and in-app purchases

Base price: Free.

**One-time purchases**

| Purchase | Price | Type |
