Description

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.

A complaint

reutta on

Terrible app, you can't use it. How to go into editing parts to add a bass part, round icons are displayed that I don’t need at all to record the part. And the settings that you need can’t be found, I almost broke the tablet without understanding how to get to the main menu. Exits only to settings that do not affect the creation of two head rows with a bass line. I'm very angry and I can't use this app. I bought it 30 minutes ago and it's disgusting, give me my money back!!!

“Nur” in japanischer Sprache

Heute lud ich Touch Notation für CHF 12.— auf mein iPadPro. Version 1.1.002. Obwohl es im Apple App-Shop heisst, das Programm sei in englischer und japanischer Sprache nutzbar, finde ich keine Option vom Japanischen ins Englische wechseln zu können. Das Programm leitet mich auf eine ebenfalls japanische Kawai Webseite weiter, wo ich wenigstens eine englische Version eines Manuals von 2014-2017 gefunden habe. Aber auch dort finde ich keine Information darüber, wo die Option für die englische Sprache versteckt ist. Bin froh, wenn mir die Entwickler, oder sonst jemand weiterhelfen kann. Diese App scheint ja wirklich das von mir Gesuchte zu beinhalten. Besten Dank für die kommende englische Version. Nirja

Super

Super App!!!!!! Ich finde es einfach schade, dass man 12€ für die App bezahlen muss und dann immer noch Zusatzfunktionen KAUFEN muss. Ich habe bei mir einen Bug fest gestellt.... Ich kann nicht selber eine Seite (verschiedene Stimmen wie z.b. 4 Trompeten) anlegen, sonst TOP APP bitte beheben...
