It’s good

Now. I’m really interested in ragtime(I’ve working on my own ragtime piece) but when I’m doing Scott Joplin pieces sometimes it has cross beaming and I can only run on the free version and sometimes it crashes and the bit I had done at that time goes away and sometimes if I did a lot I get really upset and also please make cross beaming and tuplets free and also! A quick idea! You could add anacrusis’s for time signatures(so in the app ♭ you can have an anacrusis for the time signatures that I don’t fully understand)

J’ai perdu toute ma progression

Je composais tranquillement une valse au piano solo et après 3-4h à composer j’ai simplement fermé mon cellulaire pour aller faire quelque chose 5 min et au moment de revenir j’ai perdu l’entièreté de ma progression… je n’aurais sûrement pas la motivation de recommencer sachant que j’ai déjà gaspillé plusieurs heures sur cette app. Par pitié mettez la sauvegarde auto comme paramètre de base.

Pas assez intuitif, mais l’application semble de qualité

Bonjour, merci d’avoir crée cette application de qualité. :) Je ne la trouve cependant pas intuitive du tout, très dure à utiliser, et très limitée dans le placement des notes, comparée à d’autres logiciels. S’il-vous-plaît, faites que l’application ne soit pas dure à utiliser… Impossible de placer les notes à un endroit précis. ;-; Merci de votre attention, j’espère que les développeurs feront le nécessaire pour qu’un clic censé placer une notes ne fasse pas apparaître d’autres onglets que l’on a pas choisis. Merci beaucoup, très belle journée/soirée, Dieu vous bénisse. :D

Deleted hours of work

Having spent ages putting in a score, when I revisited the file it was completely blank. The file was still there, and I had previously closed and re-opened the file so it was definitely saved.

Great App

Last year I was using another app for notating music because I was so impressed that the cloud updated across all my ipads and iphone and computer the moment I notated something on one platform. I decided to give Sibeluis one more chance before I moved on to one of the many apps available. Happy I stayed because as long as I have a bluetooth (typewriter) keyboard for my ipad, notating is a breeze. All of the shortcuts on the keyboard are the same on ipad as they are on my Macbook Pro. From the ipad, I just email the file and pick it up on my macbook pro and tweak the score. And the app is improving daily. Nice work!!

Crashes a lot

Crashes a lot with significant loss of work.

Complicated and difficult to install and manage

This program is complicated and difficult to install and manage. It lacks the features of the desktop version and is overall a very frustrating experience.

Terrible

I tried to give it a chance but it sucks

Crashs and doesn’t autosave

I wanted to use the ultimate version of the app for Ipad since it’s handier to use it while playing the piano but unfortunately and unlike the MacOs version, the app often crashes and it doesn’t even autosave when it happens so I will no longer use it.

Auto-save failure

Definitely attractive and I was thinking about getting the full license. But then when I returned to my first piece from 10 hours ago and took the app out of Split Screen, it crashed, and my piece was nowhere to be found. It forgot to auto-save.

Obviously that needs to be air-tight before someone starts a real composition.

まあまあ

譜面用紙のピアノソロだけどうしても開けません

Bravo

This app is helping me a lot for making music… Thank you…

課金しても同じでした。

新規作成時にテンプレートを選択すると画面が真っ暗になり、強制終了以外何もできなくなります。また時々音が出なくなる時があり、これも保存後に強制終了、立ち上げ直して対処しています。課金プランでも同じ頻度と内容でした。改善を求めます。

Crashes way too much

Running on iPad Pro m4, and it’s crashed 3 times in the ten minutes I’ve tried working in it. Work keeps getting lost. I can’t trust this tool.
