Symphony Pro 6 is a complete and intuitive app for writing music notation on iPad. It allows you to compose music for just about any size ensemble, from piano, symphonies, band, lead sheets, chord charts, guitar tabs, and more. Starting Version 5, Symphony Pro now offers handwriting recognition as the only in-app purchase: Perfect with Apple Pencil, and works great with touch or capacitive stylus GETTING STARTED SP provides all of the key options to begin your work. Import a score via MusicXML, MXL, MIDI, or SP file from your computer, or from apps like Dropbox, Mail, iCloud Drive, or Safari. You can base your project on a template, or start a blank score and add additional parts later. EDITING To add notes, choose Pencil mode, and tap anywhere on a bar to begin editing right away. You can quickly specify note properties before or after placing notes. By switching to Select mode with one touch, you can also transpose, erase, cut, and paste multiple notes/tracks. With an on-screen instrument, a QWERTY keyboard, or Core MIDI compatible keyboard, you can quickly enter notes & chords in step entry mode. Record a part in real-time with on-screen instruments to transcribe into notation. Versions 4 & 5 take greater advantage of the iPad touchscreen. With shortcuts and contextual menus to edit note & bar properties, many of the commonly used editing commands are right at your fingertips. SP supports a wide range of notational elements for your composition. Including dynamics & articulations, time & key signature changes, clef changes, pedals, and repeat conventions. Edit chord symbols, lyrics, and annotations using the iPad’s standard keyboard. EXPORT & SHARE When you’re finished, print out your score with AirPrint, or export it as a PDF, MusicXML, AAC, MIDI, or Symphony file. Share files via email or directly to another computer or iPad via Dropbox/iCloud Drive.

    Empowering and wonderful app
    I have used this app for three to four years. It takes time to learn, but in the world of complex music creation apps and complex music editing techniques, it is rather simple. It has facilitated my doing compositions and arrangements on dozens of different pieces, all on my iPad. Allows you to export to PDF and as MIDI and as MusicXML. Definitely need an Apple Pencil to make use of this app. Love it. Thank you! Show more

    Usability is terrible
    I have the full unlocked everything and using this thing is super painful. You want to create a lead sheet with only a treble cleff? that's going to take some time and probably going to the forums to ask for support. in general the buttons you want are there for everything but good luck finding the one you want. this app just needs a major reorg.

    Needs Metronome OFF option
    So annoying and distracting not to be able to turn the metronome sound off when recording! Makes it near impossible for me to notate from MIDI keyboard. I never use a metronome when playing piano. I don't want to play like a robot, tick, tick, tick. Otherwise the app is great. Show more

    ?

    FIX THE BUGS! Has the developer abandoned us?
    Why do ties not sound as TIED in playback?!!! This is a simple thing to execute. Encore in 1992 did it on a Mac classic II and this can’t be achieved after people have been complaining about it for years!? Come on! Not to mention the dead silence and lack of updates. Get it together!!! Show more

    Cool app, but save menu disappears before I can click anything on it.
    Like the title says, App is great. Unfortunately when I open the save menu, it disappears before I’ve had a chance to click anything.

    Interface Color
    Not sure when it happened but it must have been recent but the score interface has changed to a transparent white, which makes it very difficult to see what attribute you are selecting. I have tried changing the score color but it makes no difference. How can I change it back to the original blue? Show more

    Symphony Pro
    I cannot say enough good about this scorewriting program. Everything I need is in it, intuitively laid out and easy to learn. It also includes the ability to write multiple lyrics. I have used numerous score writing programs for years! This is my favorite! Show more

    Don’t do it
    I have given this the old college try. It is incredibly inconsistent and I’m to the point of wanting to pull my hair out. I’m moving on to something else. It had so much promise but I think they tried to do too much too soon and it appears they have now abandoned it. They really should take it off of here so that they’re not taking people’s money for something they have no intention of supporting. Show more
