Passacaglia may still suit you if you have an older, slower device.
A music notation and composition application to compose scores with multiple staves, primarily aimed at tablets, though also useful on larger phones.
The free version is a demo - it allows you to explore all the features of the app, but you must purchase the full version to be able to save your work.
This is a first release and does not contain all the features I intend it to have, but I believe it has enough functionality to be useful.
If it lacks a feature you require, or it has a bug, please contact me before leaving a negative rating and I will work to fix it. As a solo developer, I don't have the resources to test on all available devices, so your feedback is very important. If you do like it, please leave a positive rating - this is very important for search results and rewarding the work I've put in, and costs you just a few seconds of your time!

Takes a few mins getting used to, but if you read the "Help" section, it will answer a lot of those questions. I have the paid version and it's well worth it! The "Save" button is more like a "Save As" and the transpositions will only take on bars with music written in them. I have a degree in Music Performance and I am having A LOT of fun with this app!! I have tried Finale and Sibelius and this seems so much faster and easier (portable too, because I just take my tablet & headphones wherever and can leave my laptop and keyboard at home!) Notation software cannot be easy to write, so props to the creator!

This is a great app - I particularly like being able to easily edit a note once it is input. I see that there is a plan to add export in XML in order to link with other music apps - that would be great. All in all just what i wanted!
★★☆☆☆
When exporting to midi, the lyrics do not appear in karaoke players. I had no way of knowing this until I bought the full version. I will give 4 stars if this is fixed and 5 stars if the ability to change MIDI devices is implemented. Thank you.

I won't give five stars unless you let me save my music it won't let me save the frikin music Yeah that ^

Could you add a stylus only mode/option for note entry (where finger input is used for navigation only)? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and it would be nice to not have to worry about adding notes by mistake while zooming and scrolling. Thanks!
