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.

pdfにすると音符がズレる

この前まで大丈夫だったのに、急にずれてしまうようになりました。とても困っているので、すぐに改善してください。お願いします。

잘 사용하고 있습니다.

1. 겹세로줄이 바로 옆 마디마다 계속 설정이 안 된다는 것
2. 바로 옆 마디에 새로운 음자리표 표기시 박자표를 품은 것으로 인식하는 건지 빈 공란이 생기는 것


이 두가지가 아쉽습니다ㅜㅜ

入力の手間

何年も使ってるけど、そろそろコピペ出来なくなるバグを修正してほしい。他に使いやすいものが無いからまだ使ってるだけ。自分で段組を決めれないとか、音符の感覚のバランスが悪いとか、色々すとれすのかかる点は目を瞑るけど、急にコピペができなくなるのは作業が完全に止まるからほんと修正してほしい。
やる気がないのかな…
