Recognized symbols.

MusicJOT recognizes a large set of standard music notation symbols and converts from your handwriting to digital format.

It doesn't matter in what order you notate. Put in four quarters, then sharp the first quarter, then beam the last two to make two eighths. Work as you would with paper and pencil. Scratch out to delete. Add a new meter, clef or key signature. Make a slur or a tie. It's the most natural way to write music on iOS.


Full Featured Audio Playback.

Audio playback is full featured with controls for overall tempo, volume, looping, and repeats with a draggable playhead for scrubbing. Counters include measure, beat and seconds. Each staff can be assigned its own sound from 128 different instruments with individual controls for pan, gain, mute and solo. Included is a reverb unit with settings for decay time, early reflections, wet/dry mix and -20 to +20 db gain.

The Virtual Pointer™ playing a single note.

Virtual Pointer

MusicJOT's Virtual Pointer lets you get the precision of a stylus with your finger. Drag the VP around, and the score under the pointer gets magnified. You can tap to select and insert notes and MusicJOT will sound the note you are over and display its name and octave. The Virtual Pointer can be set to sound single notes, whole chords or scrub your entire score.
