You can create everything from blank notation paper for piano or guitar, to multi-page music exams. Great for AMEB or ABRSM practice. Mustud (Music Study) has been designed to make document creation on a small mobile touch screen simple and easy.  Unlike other document-based applications where you're forced to drag items around on a page and tap on tiny buttons, Mustud takes away all that hassle using a system called the Fragment Engine. These fragments are fully customizable music theory elements such as staff lines, or chord diagrams. You just add these fragments to a list, pick your changes, and a beautifully rendered document is ready for you to share or print! In fact you could probably create an entire A4 page of music exercises in the time it takes you to read this description. Why waste time searching online for music resources when you can create your own!
