Descripció

Touch Notation is a powerful musical score creation app that allows anyone to enjoy writing music using touch gestures.

In Japan, Touch Notation was selected as one of the ‘App Store Best of 2014’ apps, and held the No.1 spot in the iPad Paid App index for music apps for over two weeks.

Up until now, musical score creation software has relied upon dragging individual notes from a palette onto staves. By contrast, Touch Notation allows musicians to draw directly onto the score using a finger or touch pen, and have their work immediately appear as beautifully written notation, then played back using the app’s 30 built-in instrument voices.

- A wide-range of functions accessible from a cleanly designed, intuitive user interface.
- Ability to enter musical expressions for adjusting tempo and dynamics.
- Layout functions such as page breaks.
- Convenient transpose feature for raising/lowering the pitch of the entire score.
- Output scores using Air Print, or save to Dropbox in PDF, SMF, MusicXML, and ScoreMaker formats.

Touch Notation allows the following musical symbols to be entered by hand:

- Note, Rest (including dotted and double-dotted), Long Rest, Beam, Tuplet (Triplet)
- Grace Note
- Accidental, Tie, Slur
- Accent, Staccato, Tenuto, Fermata
- Trill, sfz, Arpeggio, Pedal, Senza
- Metronome symbol
- Crescendo, Decrescendo
- Dynamics symbols (ppp~fff)
- Octave symbol
- Repeat brackets
- Repeat marks (D.C./Fine/D.S./Segno/Coda/to Coda)
- Clefs (Treble Clef/Bass Clef/C Clef/Percussion Clef)
- Key signature
- Time signature
- Bar lines (repeat marks)
- Abbreviation

Lyrics and other musical expressions (‘Dolce’, ‘Tranquillo’, etc.) can be added using text input, while comments and memos can also be written freehand directly onto the score.

* Drum notation is supported, but other types such as rhythm notation and tab notation are not supported.
* Older devices may experience stuttering when playing complicated scores with many simultaneous notes.

Amazing musical notation app

This app is really amazing. It did everything I needed since I am using it (I started using it for several months now) and works greatly. The only feature I personally want to see coming, if possible, is to make swing feel so Jazz writing feels way better and more audible. A bunch of other features can be added aswell for a lot of needs and maybe some fixes aswell because sometimes the app crashes but not often.

I am very pleased to use this app and I really would like to see you, the makers of this app, continu working on this to improve it and make it more viable for all kind of music writer in the world.

Oh and I highly recommend this app to any musicians who would like to use a music writing app and that is easy to use. It is honestly the first app I bought and didn’t regretted at all.

This is a great app ...so far

I am enjoying this app and the way it works. With the Apple Pencil, it’s really easy to use. I would even say fun! For writing parts and transposing, it’s a joy.
The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is due to things that haven’t happened yet that I’d like to see (hey Kawai, are you listening?? Support this app!!!): page customization (how many staves on a page can reduce having page tunes for just one line of music!) and rhythm notation. The ability to erase when writing on the page would be helpful too. Oh—- bracketed notes! Add those things and all other notation apps will be pretty much irrelevant!!

Very pleased

This is a great app for all who compose, teach or arrange music. It provides lots of options for writing your music fast and accurately! The reason I get 4 stars is that it needs lots of improvements, but overall it is worth to buy for its relatively non-expensive price in comparison with other similar apps.
