Frustrating. I was able to compose music, and that went very smoothly. However, I can't export the music in any form. I literally can't use it outside of the app, which makes the money I spent pointless.

Very nice app. I would make a suggestions though. To give an illusion of seperation of the octaves, either by spacing or coloring. It is tedious work to know which note is on which line as you are adding the dots. A seperation by space or color would help the composer know on which octave he or she is. (the paper strips do this by adding space) thanks.

i feel as though it goes out of time, or speeds up whenever i record a song. is there anything in the settings to prevent that? and instead of having speed can we have a tempo setter.

Spiffingly Good. Exactly what i wanted, the pdf printing is spot on and everything.

Great, but can't seem to load midi files. Am I doing it wrong?

The overall feel to it is great and the tools are pretty much all there. Wanted to give 5 but i think it needs 1 more octave right at the top. The last key available is just a few short of the usual high notes that im hoping to use. Can you guys have an option for octave adjustment if adding an entire octave wouldn't be practical?

The physical Music Boxes with the punchable paper strips are great fun - what I found was missing was an easy way to preview either transpositions or original creations. This aims to fill that gap but it's also a fun music creation tool in it's own right. Compatible with the types of music box you can purchase from Grand Illusions or Kikkerland (the Sankyo 33 not box is not currently supported - but it is in the works).

There is a growing library of strips that can be loaded into the app:
