Maestro - Music Composer 4+

This is a very versatile tool, it’s great for writing music, even on mobile! I just wish that on mobile there was an auto flip screen—so that we didn’t have to manually flip the screen— and that the help menu was a lot more informative, like for example:
I was trying to play a certain part, I go to the help menu and see what it says, all it shows is the < | & | > buttons highlighted, and of course my first thought is to tap it once or twice, and obviously that doesn’t work because that’s not how the function works. Instead it took me 2-3 minutes (I know) to figure out that you had to tap it and then tap where you want it to start/end.

Hello gfhjdhhfn, Thank you for the detailed feedback. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro.

I have used it for a good bit of time now, and it’s the best one I found. I have now started to write a few pieces on it, and it definitely deserves to be one of the most well-known music-writing apps, because it certainly is one of the best. Sadly, I encountered a few problems, like when an instrument goes high, it doesn’t make room for it, it just blends it in with the line above, or how it doesn’t have an option for notation like ‘expressivo’ or other important musical notation. Also, the only grace notes I found were ones that add the note right below it, but I haven’t looked that hard, or in a while. There’s a weird glitch that makes it so I can’t have a starting dynamic and then a crescendo or decrescendo on a whole note, it always gets rid of the first one I add when I add in the second one(If I put in the dynamic, then a crescendo or decrescendo, the dynamic disappears, and when I put in a crescendo or decrescendo and then go in to put in a dynamic, the crescendo/decrescendo disappears). The dynamics don’t work in the play through, so I can’t hear the melody over the accompaniment. I also don’t have access to my password in any way, so I can’t sign in on any other devices, so I’m stuck on my phone. These may seem like a lot, but all but the last two are pretty small issues (and minor annoyances), and all are easily fixable. I definitely recommend Maestro, and those other apps should take some notes.

Hello thfnhl, Thank you for the feedback, more functions will be added continuously. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro to write music easy. + Regarding password recovery, please keep trying logging in. If you fail to login more than 3 times, a password recovery popup will appear. We hope this helps.

This is a great music composer to compose music with! I love the way it is set up and the simplicity of it all. But it’s missing a few minor things. First of all, the didgeridoo and bagpipes sound like they are vomiting their guts out when I try to use them. Second of all, we need a way to make an instrument play only the second or 3rd time of a repeat. It would make it so much easier not having to copy and paste the same passage over and over again. And their are a few missing things that would make the experience much better. First, we need more percussion, percussion like sleigh bells, flexatone , ratchet, and others. We also need more brass and woodwinds! Even just a bass clarinet and a euphonium would go a long way. But also a flugel horn and mellophone. And maybe even an alto clarinet. It would also be cool if you make each instrument notated by the key they are in (for example, trumpet would be in concert Bb and trombone in concert C) Thank you for reading!
