Write music the way you would on paper. Music Manuscript gives you real manuscript paper on your phone or tablet, and turns your pen strokes into clean, readable notation.

HANDWRITE NOTES WITH PEN GESTURES
- Place noteheads on the staff, then finish them with natural strokes:
- Draw a stem to make a quarter or half note, or a chord across stacked heads
- Draw a short flag off a stem to make 8th or 16th notes
- Draw a line across stems to beam them together
- Scribble inside a hollow notehead to fill it in

BEAMING THAT FOLLOWS YOUR RHYTHM

- Consecutive 8th and 16th notes beam together automatically
- Tap between notes with the Beam Break tool to split a beam
- Use the lasso menu to beam notes together, break a beam, or go back to automatic beaming

MUSIC SYMBOLS THAT SNAP TO THE STAFF

- Symbols, time signatures, bar lines, marks, and dynamics
- Symbols snap to the nearest line or space, with ledger lines and stem directions added for you
- Ties and slurs with handles you can drag to reshape
- 1st and 2nd ending brackets that snap above the staff
