About this app

** Top 10 Music App in 32 countries **
Ground-breaking music composition and music notation software from Neuratron with handwriting recognition.

- Featuring powerful handwritten music recognition - quickly and accurately enter music notation with your finger or stylus, on a tablet or smartphone.

- 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 printable score at the end!

- Write music notation 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! Recognises 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.

- Email PDF, MusicXML and MIDI files of your scores to friends or other musicians. Open in Sibelius, Finale and other desktop software. Print to paper (requires free PDF printing app to be installed).

- 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 notation 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 recognise 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 a display taller than 3.8 inches

Ratings and reviews

I just bought the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, and this program works swimmingly on it. I've used it with an acceptable level of satisfaction for some time on my S4, but the stylus on the bigger screen makes all the difference. It's really a very nice program, under my circumstances, anyway.

Well I have really tried to make this app work as I play the guitar and alto sax. I have tried it on a Samsung S7/S8+/S8+ tab 2 and also a IPad. It's clunky and extremely time consuming. Just to write the simplest lines is slow. You are constantly deleting and rewriting. Quite a poor product and very expensive, I simply don't have the time to use this app. I bought this app TWICE to see if it would work better on a iPad and bought a stylus pen. Still rubbish.

Too much time to learn and to correct mistakes. I work with sibelius more than 10 years which have more options but it is easy to learn than this program. I don't have time to explore and find out is something is bug or my mistake. You should have simple UI. 1st click- main options. 2nd click all sub options . This one is more like a game - try to find what is wrong. It is you or it is software !!!! 30$ for such a trash .... ccc
