### 4/5 — Guzheng notation!

*2021-06-23*

I have been seeking a good app to
Do Guzheng number notation and this app is amazing. It spaces and sets up
Music quick and can play it back in a variety of different instrumentations. 

Exporting the notation is good. I like that it can do PDF though it’s only in portrait mode and the size of the phone. Wish I could export or make it for 8.5 x 11.  

Very much recommended!
