Bug fixes
Bugs, please fix:
1) copying and pasting large amounts of staves is unreliable.
2) in large and long orchestral scores , and even chamber ensembles, adding and deleting measures can cause various glitches like unintended deletions and some visibility issues with the GUI like the change appears in print view but not scroll view.
3) if your finger accidentally touches an accidental on the iPhone when you’re simply trying to reach to zoom in or out, you will accidentally remove the accidental and change your harmony. Now I must go through the entire score to ensure the harmony is intact.
4) you have offered new mixer options, please adequately explain what they are and how to use them in the manual.
5) resizing page is too slow
6) adding and deleting measures, adding and removing pickup measures, glitchy.
WISH LIST:
I would love for you to provide as many instrument articulation options as spitfire audio.
I would really like easy pan, volume, EQ, reverb, bus sends to get these samples sounding like an opera hall, even if I can’t expect spitfire audio level instrument richness.
I wish hairpins were more expressive and sforzatos more audibly discernible.
I would like clear notices in the manual and privacy notice that the company guarantees it does not spy on user contents or train AI on them and will never do so.
I would like a mark tree, better acoustic guitar sounds, more expressive guitar bends and vibrato, more articulations for every type of guitar.
I would like the midi to be more transferable to other DAWs so it won’t be such a hassle to make it sound less robotic.
I would like better options for rubato and tempo changes. I would like rubato achievable like the first recorded complete set of beethoven’s string quartets, which uses heavy rubato.
I would like measure numbers to be at the bottom of the score in the middle distance between bars enclosed in a square shape and to appear for each measure in the piece, especially for full scores.
I would like the ability to add tables of contents , title page, to not have page numbers on the title page, and to use a final ending measure line multiple times in the same project file without it causing playback glitches, and I want the score to have measure numbers start at 1 again after the final bar line.
Ability to resize page numbers and measure numbers and title and subtitle and all font.
I would like full score to automatically resize to fit on the page so I don’t have to resize the page , but if it’s going to be super glitchy then don’t release this option until it’s perfect because that would be chaos.

writing music notation
This app is excellent for amateur keyboardist like me, and easy to read the notes on my iPad 10.9 inches screen size. I have fun learning keyboard even I’m a 70 year old guy. 😉 I tried to print as pdf file and when I open the pdf file the staff lines height is only 7mm and difficult to read, I want to make the staff lines to 8mm to 9mm but it didn’t change.

Needs user guide for use with IPad and Apple Pencil
This app is what I’ve been looking for a long time. I’m primarily using it on an iPad with an Apple Pencil.
The user manual is predominantly focused on computer keyboard input.
Please can you provide a user manual for tablet and pencil users.

The best app out of many for me
I am a dedicated Fender Notion app user who has been using Notion long before Fender acquired it. Given that I am not a keyboard player or a stylus user, I find Notion to be the most user friendly notation app of my 4 paid sheet music notation apps. It also seems to export the cleanest PDFs out of all my apps. I also discovered that Fender Notion’s developers genuinely listen to users like me in terms of feedback and reviews. I don’t care what the review score of this app says, I will remain a dedicated Fender Notion app because it’s THE BEST app for me.

Good but with longstanding issues
Sound sets are nice, especially the strings. Have used this app for around 6 years and it covers a lot of bases for a mobile app. Intuitive for a composing app. There is however a large stability issue and I cannot recommend the app while it exists:
Adding new measures in the middle of a score will sometimes break the playback. The added measures do not show up in the score. The playback cursor gets all glitchy in the spaces where those new measures would be, sometimes moving way too slow and other times teleporting. The music still sounds normal when this happens, but it accounts for the “added” measures, causing a huge pause in the middle of the piece that you can’t do anything about. It is like a certain amount of space in the score just gets corrupted. You cannot undo this once it happens, and I have had to manually copy and paste everything into a new document if I wish to keep editing the music or listen to the playback. This is extremely frustrating, especially when it happens with larger projects. A huge timewaste that gets in the way of productivity. The chance of it happening seems random but often enough that it does not feel stable. 4 times within the last month or so, and I have had this issue for at least a few years.
Also copy and paste doesn’t always work, which can compound with the above issue.
