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.

This app is very great for music composition as a whole, but I do have a complaint as to there isn’t a baritone/euphonium on here. I’ve look and there isn’t one in treble clef or bass, so that’s just a suggestion. Also, I don’t know if it’s me using the app wrong but crescendos and decrescendos both don’t work along with ritardandos and accelerandos. Again it could be just me but these are my only complaints so far. Keep up the good work!

Hello Kayden319, Ritardando and accelerando work under a certain condition (e.g. the beat of the notes across the staff need to match). We will do our best to keep improving Maestro.

I’ve used this app for a little while and I’ve noticed that the brass section is lacking compared to other sections. There are no mellophones or baritones and for the most part, the only options besides a brass section and synthetic brass are a trombone, trumpet/muted trumpet, French horn, and tuba. It’s just boring, to say the least. There are so many options for every other instrument besides brass instruments.

Even after only using the app for a small amount of time, there are bugs when playing back the music. I don’t know if it depends on how big of a piece you’re making, but I’ve noticed that certain lines tend to lag.

Key signatures are practically impossible to change back. Maybe that’s just my ignorance of not knowing how to use the app but every time I’ve attempted to change a key signature, either nothing will happen or I won’t be able to change it back.

Besides these few critiques, I do think this app is promising and a very helpful to-go option for musicians. I’ll be using it in the future and hope to see these issues fixed.

Hello Ben, Yes, the key signature can be changed in the middle of the music. Please tap the [HELP] button in the app and see the topic [KEY SIGNATURE]. We hope this helps. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro to write music easy.
