Music & Audio Note brings recording, transcription by ear, and sheet music creation together in one app. From audio or from paper scores. Analyze the chords and melody of your favorite songs or standards, write them straight into the score, and practice until they're second nature. See the audio player and staff paper on the same screen. Works with any instrument — guitar, piano, and more. Built for anyone who wants to really play a song, whether for singing along with guitar, covers, or jam sessions. 【Start with Analysis】 ・Chord Analysis: Instantly see the chord progression of any song. Just tap "Analyze" to detect and display it automatically, cutting way down on transcription time. ・Tempo & Beat Analysis: "Beat Analyze" automatically detects the song's tempo and downbeats, so you don't have to mark them by hand. ・Sheet Music Scanner (NEW): Import sheet music from your camera or photo library and automatically recognize the notes. Review and correct the results to create a score (.mnote). *Recognition accuracy is currently limited, so this feature is meant to be checked and corrected by hand. Use it as a draft tool to save yourself from starting from scratch. *Audio analysis works with your own recordings or files you've obtained yourself. It does not support songs from your Apple Music library. 【Keep Using It After You Analyze】 Analysis isn't the finish line — it's the starting point. Once you know the chords and rhythm, write them into the score, sync them with the audio, and keep practicing until you reach the performance you're after. 1 Link Audio and Score Link your audio to the score and sync playback position with measures. 2 Enter Rhythm and Pitch Separately From an ear-training perspective, you can input rhythm and pitch independently. 3 Sheet Music Viewer Import lead sheets (PDF or photos) you already have and view them alongside your analysis results. 4 Adjust Audio Speed Slow down fast tempos to nail the timing of chord changes. 5 Add and Edit Tracks Freely add and edit tracks for chords, notes, text, and audio. 6 Metronome The page scrolls automatically in time with the tempo and time signature set in the score. 7 Second Voice Part Support Select a Note Track under "Edit track(s)" and turn on "Second Voice Part" to enter it. 8 Slur and Text Input Select a range of notes to bring up a popup for adding slurs and text. 9 Video Recording Record video of your own performance to keep as a reference. 10 Vertical Scroll View the score with vertical scrolling. Switch this on in Settings.
