DoDon vs ShamiScore

This app makes it easy to capture taiko rhythms learned through oral recitation and turn them into digital data. With one key press, you can enter two eighth notes (one quarter note), making it the perfect pace for singing or chanting as you input. All data is saved in CSV format, allowing flexible editing inside the app, exporting to other software, or sharing via social media. You can easily combine short sections into full pieces or gather parts into a complete score.

ShamiScore lets you create and edit music for shamisen using fret-based notation. Enter notes in the piano roll, view them as TAB or bunka-fu, and play the score back at your chosen tempo. Features • Edit note position, duration, and fret • Write notation with Apple Pencil (iPad, ShamiScore Pro) • Set the tuning, including honchoshi, niagari, and sansagari • Set tempo and time signatures, then listen to playback • Export PDF, MIDI, and m4a audio • Save .shami documents and sync them with iCloud Drive The free version supports scores up to 64 measures. ShamiScore Pro is available as a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase. Both plans unlock multiple tracks, time signature changes, custom tuning, MIDI import, PDF export without the logo, handwriting input on iPad, and more. A canceled subscription remains active until the end of its paid period. Existing scores can still be viewed and played afterward.
