Solid music notation app that ticks many boxes
I've used this app off and on for several years. For the reasonable price, I think I got most of the upgrades. I like that there are multiple options on how to input notes. The interface is a little tricky at first but can be learned. I like that I can write and hear drum notation. The guitar tab output is nice and I like that I can add staff if I want. I love the MIDI file export. Great for pulling into a myriad of other apps. The sounds of various instruments are good enough to hear while composing. I had an issue on a classical guitar piece (Bach - Bourree in Em) where there was a pickup note and then a bar later that should be one beat short. It handled the pickup note okay but I couldn't find a way to shorten the later bar by a beat. It may just have been a complicated piece due to repeated sections and I didn't know the app well enough to figure it out. The other thing that is a little cumbersome is this. In some classical guitar pieces, a chord is played where one note is longer than other notes in the chord (like a half note while other notes keep moving in 8th notes). In that scenario, it can be handled by using multiple voices, but it would be nice if multiple voices wasn't needed for a single polyphonic instrument like guitar. One feature request would be to allow the app to be used as an AUV3 MIDI source in apps like AUM or Loopy Pro. I would prefer to write notation to piano roll, and this app would be cool to have multiple instances of inside a host app driving iOS instrument apps. Even if it was a paid upgrade, it would be worth it. Overall it is a good app and well worth the cost! Good job devs!!
United StatesFantastic Guitar Notation App
STAVE ‘n’ Tabs is the best Notation App for Guitarists on the iPhone/IPod. l have used other Notation Apps for a few years and finally tried STAVE ‘n’ Tabs. l should of tried it a Long time ago, you can export your Guitar Notation in Numerous formats that can be used or edited on other apps or Computers Software, my only wish is to add my own fingerings to the Chord diagrams, everything else about this app is superb!

Really cool app
United StatesUnderrated; a great tool for drummers
I’ve spent about week searching for the best app for drum notation on ipad. Between this, and the giants like Muscore and Dorico, this is the best one that suits my needs so far. Unlike the others, this app can import midi/xml, convert them to proper drum notation, can select multiple bars for looping, and playback notation with speed control. All for free. This is just what I need to rehearse and practice songs on drums. The app also runs quite smooth and has a really handsome UI. I haven’t spent too much time creating my own notation on this app, but the tools you do get are intuitive and easier and faster to learn over apps like Dorico. It’s not completely perfect however. Modifiers or notes like open hi hats do not get translated when importing from midi/xml and requires a purchased add on to edit imported files. The premium add ons are very affordable, but it’s quite annoying. The looping feature seems to be off too. When looping something like 1 bar, the first note seems stutter/delay upon the loop, creating a effect that makes loop sound out of time. Also, the metronome is completely inaudible over the drum kit samples. A mixer is definitely needed for an app like this. I would love to have a mixer that would allow me to have each individual drum kit instrument on the faders.
United StatesEnjoying the app!
I’m enjoying the app and have purchase the upgrades on my iPad. It’s a nice middle ground between limited free apps and the expensive commercial behemoths, especially the ability to add ornaments common to traditional music. I’ve got a couple questions: • I thought I had upgraded the desktop version, but when I opened it recently after a break, I discovered I was still on the basic version. Is there a way to see if I had purchase the upgrade previously? The app didn’t find one when I tried to restore. • I’ve been playing a lot of traditional music, and I’m curious if you have plans to add ABC format import or export. That would save me having to use another program to convert to MIDI or MusicXML first.
