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 DEVICE REQUIREMENTS MINIMUM RECOMMENDED: iPhone 5/s/c, iPad (3rd gen onwards, iPad mini (2nd gen onwards), iPod Touch 5 onwards Screen size - 4 inches diagonal Writing implement - Finger or stylus PhotoScore Add-In: 5MP rear facing camera with auto-focus, 1 GB RAM.

NotateMe changes 2.0.0.0
•Much improved recognition engine:
-More accurate, particularly for:
-Building up chords
-Writing multiple parts on one track
-Only updating notes in bar currently being worked on
-Accidentals
-Automatic tuplet recognition
-Faster:
-Only looks at the notes/beams being worked on so more complex bars do not slow it down
-Other optimisations
•Import MusicXML files:
-Use Open In features from email apps or other notation software to import MusicXML files directly into NotateMe for editing as handwriting.
-Imports the following music symbols: Solid noteheads, open noteheads, cross noteheads, accidentals, articulation, beams, flags, mordents, trills, turns, pedal on/off, and more. Not currently: grace notes, tempo changes, coda barlines.
•Improved editing:
-Double-tapping objects or holding down over them sets them in stone, which means they won’t change, and can be copied and reused as the symbols they are. Also:
-Double-tap copying and copy/pasting objects sets them, and the copy in stone.
-So double-tap drag a recognised notehead or accidental to another point on a stem and it will always be recognised as the same object.
-Multiple bar copy and paste.
-Eraser pen now deletes whole sections of objects so faster and easier.
-Eraser pen multiple bar erase.
•Enter more:
-Symbol Pen - Drag pre-recognised symbols to your score. Or select existing objects and tap to tell NotateMe to treat them as that symbol.
-Drum and percussion 5-line staff support. Drag and drop (or set selected normal noteheads to) cross noteheads using the new Symbols Pen.
-1st, 2nd,3rd etc. repeat endings now supported by dragging barlines to the start or end repeat ending section type.
-Key signatures now pre-written so drag up/down to adjust. Copy and paste C major key signatures.
-Double-tap time signature to enter almost any time signature
-Add tempo changes (prefix tempo value with ‘=’) and technique markings (prefix with ‘.’) with the Text Pen.
-Supports more than 3 leger lines.
-Wider range of clefs available.
-Choice of writing non-transposing scores - NotateMe asks user when first transposing instrument added. Displays playback semitone adjustment.
-Specify tuplets in anacrusis
•Playback improvements:
-Enter '.swing', '.straight', '.dotted eighths', '.notes inegales', '.heavy swing', '.light swing' to control Swing in playback. Alternatively add without the '.' prefix add drag above staff.
-Enter '=120', '=Allegro', '=Lento' etc to control tempo during playback. Alternatively add without the '=' prefix add drag above staff.
•Layout improvements:
-Improved spacing between notes in final score
-Improved spacing between systems in final score
•Education improvements:
-Grey Pen for creating exercises for students to trace notation.
-Write using the full NotateMe and distribute to students running NotateMe Now (e.g. using AirDrop).
-Automatic end-of-score barline drawn in Printed Area.
-Improved treble clef symbol circling the correct line.
-Reset NotateMe’s learning by holding down the finger/stylus over the Eraser Pen tool button to allow a fresh profile for each new user.
•Workflow improvements:
-Printed Area notation scales down to show more of your score when shrinking the Input Area with the 2 finger resize gesture.
-Create a copy of a score from within My Scores… dialog.
-Cursor displays over rests during playback.
-Send/email NotateMe scores (.nas files). These also ‘Open In’ from email apps.
