Description

Ground-breaking music composition and notation software from Neuratron, featuring handwritten music recognition.

Top 10 Music App in 62 countries!

iPad Pro & Apple Pencil recommended for best results.

- Quickly and accurately enter music notation with your finger or stylus.

- Write music on the train, in a plane, by a lake, or just sitting comfortably on your sofa!

- Simple, intuitive interface with little to distract you from your creativity - similar to writing with pen and paper, but with instant playback, editing and a score suitable for publishing at the end!

- Write music for solo instruments (including voice and piano), drums or ensembles from string quartets and choirs to full orchestral scores. Includes support for transposing instruments.

- PhotoScore Add-In (In-App Purchase): Take photos of printed sheet music with your device's camera, so you can play back and edit them with NotateMe! Recognizes 5-line staves and most markings including chords, flags, beams, rests, accidentals, articulation marks, clefs, key signatures, time signatures, tuplets, slurs, ties, hairpins and text including lyrics, dynamics and instrument names. Note: Requires 5MP camera & 1 GB RAM - so not for iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPad Mini (1st gen) or earlier.

- Email PDF, MusicXML and MIDI files of your scores to friends or other musicians. Open in other apps and desktop notation packages. Print to paper.

- Import and edit MusicXML files (most music symbols supported).

- Automatically sync your scores to Dropbox so you can edit them on your phone whilst you are out, and then on your tablet when you get back.

- Great when learning or teaching music notation.

- NotateMe recognises a wide range of music symbols, including notes (with solid, open, and slanted noteheads), flags, beams (even cross-staff*), leger lines, multiple voices per staff, chords, rests, accidentals (natural, sharp, double sharp & flat), articulation marks, augmentation dots, ties, slurs, hairpins, clef changes, key signatures. Barlines, clefs, time signatures and tuplets are added automatically.

- Drag and drop (or set selected drawings to) further music symbols including cross noteheads, pedal markings, ornaments and appoggiatura.

- Add chord-symbols, dynamics, technique, tempo changes and lyrics to your score. Write comments or ideas in 'red pen'.

- If NotateMe doesn’t recognize your style immediately, keep at it, as it will adjust. Leave clear space between symbols and make markings clearer with further strokes if any transcription errors occur. If you experience problems, tap 'Help Improve NotateMe' from the Export menu and we will analyze your handwriting to help us improve NotateMe further.

* Cross-staff beaming requires an iPad

Fine line between works fine and unusable.

I’ve used this product for a couple hours so far. There is quite a learning curve. Sometimes it works fine. Other times useless. I would not buy again knowing what I know now.

Impressed

Great app! First thing I noticed is the handwriting recognition is best I’ve used. I love the two staff layout , one for your handwriting and other the computer version. Sometimes in other apps, it’s confusing when the app realize your writing before your finished and you can’t see your original idea, here the staff w your original idea is never changed, it feels like a separate sketch paper on one staff and the computer interpretation on the other. Also very easy to enter notes between existing notes and a separate pen for comments is nice!

Does not work as advertised

Buyer beware! Do NOT buy the in-app Photoscore feature! The app is quite difficult to use, and the Photoscore feature crashes every time I try to open it on iPhone. And I only tried to open on iPhone because it was scanning an illegible blur on iPad, and I thought the iPhone camera might do a better job taking a photo of my page of sheet music. The Photoscore pictures are illegible. Ultimately, I was not successful importing sheet music using Photoscore. It seems impossible to get a refund for a feature that doesn’t work and crashes. Disappointing. I completely regret taking a chance on this app. For the price, I expected things to work.
