Score Creator: compose music

Amazing app. I love it! However, I have a couple things that I think could make it a little better than it already is. (*=important) First of all, I have a few glitches here and there. Nothing that ruins anything while I’m composing, except for one where I have a 32nd note followed by a quarter note (I’m remaking the 21st Century Fox theme). During playback, the 32nd note plays fine, and then the quarter note plays like a 32nd note and just stops. You hear a quick beep where there should be a longer quarter note. It works fine with 16th notes, it just sounds better with 32nd notes. *Also, I was wondering if you could go back to the old sounds for trumpet, violin, trombone, and tuba. The new ones I’m not liking a ton because they mess up the sounds of some of the songs I’ve made.* *I was also wondering if you could add trills and falls (by fall I mean that thing where trumpets start on one notes and fall to another slowly). That sort of thing.* *One more thing. The slurs, accents, and dynamics don’t actually do anything during playback. You can see them, but you never hear any instruments get quieter or louder, or accent, or slur.* Besides all those points I LOVE this app!! Keep it up!!

I discovered this app about 3 and half years ago and I honestly didn’t think this app was any good. Some of the instruments didn’t even match the sounds, some were too loud, you could only make a song do big before the playback lags so you have to make a new score to continue. I didn’t let it stop me though because this was really only app I could use to play around with and make my own music. Time progressed and this app got noticeably better, most of the issues with the instruments were fixed but everything else remained. I would say this app would be considered a 4 star but this new update fixed my biggest issue: articulation and dynamics. These 2 things were non existent before this update. After seeing that this update gave us the access to really get more musicality out of the scores, that’s enough to bump this all the way up to 5 stars. I’ve noticed the lag playback on big scores is a problem and the auto-scroll still doesn’t work but I’m able to work around these problems. If you’re looking for an app that give you access to make scores on the fly for relatively low price for the full experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this. Trust me, it’s the most user friendly.

So I’ve had this app for a little while and it’s amazing. The only issue is that recently when I’ve been using the keys, (like the key the song is in) it makes two instruments the same key which isn’t right. I know there is a switch for using concert pitch, but that’s not the issue. That’s one of the first things I make sure I change at the start of a new song. So, one of my current songs is in the key of B flat I believe and so B flat clarinet shouldn’t have any accidentals, but it’s showing up as the same as the C flute who has 2. I have 2 B flat trumpets and those show up perfectly fine. It’s just one or two instruments and it’s very frustrating. With this issue fixed, I’d give it 4 stars. One suggestion I have is adding in trills, falls, and maybe changing the way to put in staccatos, marcatos, tenuos, and stuff like that. I’ve been avoiding them in my songs because I’d prefer not to click on each and every note. Because with every note, I end up clicking 4 or 5 different things. That adds up pretty quick, especially with a song with like 50 or more. So maybe have a separate tab or button where the notes and note lengths are so they are more accessible. With these taken into account, I’d give it 5 stars.

I have been enjoying this app on my iPhone and iPad for almost a year. I frequently write music on my iPad, and then air drop it to my iPhone. After the latest IOS update, I have been unable to air drop my MIDI files from one device to another. When airdropping from iPad to iPhone, it automatically tries to open the MIDI file in iMovie and I get an error message. I deleted iMovie, but now when I try to airdrop sheet music/MIDI files from iPad to iPhone, it gives me two options: store the file in iCloud, or buying an app from the App Store in order to open it, even though I have Score Creator on both devices. I have the same problem when airdropping from iPhone to iPad; it gives me the option to open it in iMovie, or saving it to Files. I have tried deleting the apps on both devices and then downloading them again and that did not help. Both of my devices are running on IOS 13.2, and the Score Creator app is running on version 7 on both devices. Like I said, I've enjoyed using this app for a while now and haven't had any problems until now. I live in a nursing home and spend a majority of my day writing songs. It is cumbersome that I cannot transfer files from one device to another anymore. Please help.

I am really enjoying this app for when I don’t have my computer to use Musescore 2 on. There is one thing that I would like to have added into the writing capability though, you can add triplets in any note timing available currently, but I would like it if you could select how many notes you could write for 1 beat or for one measure of time in the music (example: 7 16th notes for one beat). Maybe have it set up like you have the time signature selection (7 / quarter [seven notes per quarter beat]), have a scroll wheel for the left selection (how many notes) and then another for the right selection (the time period in which those notes will take place like for a whole note, dotted half note, half note, dotted quarter note, etc.) and the timing for the notes that are in that beat can be selected by just selecting the time for the notes like you usually would. I hope this makes sense and that you could add this feature without too much difficulty.
