Symphony – Music Notation 5.3.7

Symphony is a highly acclaimed app for professional musicians, composers, and students. It offers a versatile platform for creating various musical compositions, ranging from piano sheet music to large orchestrations, all from the convenience of your iPhone.

One of the standout features is the Pencil tool, which allows you to easily add notes and chords by simply tapping on the canvas. The multi-staff and multi-voice editor enhances your productivity, while powerful editing capabilities such as vertical drag for transposition and an on-screen piano facilitate quick composition.

The Select tool provides a seamless way to modify notes by highlighting them. You can adjust their duration, transpose them, erase or cut them out completely, and even paste multiple tracks and bars wherever desired.

For playback, Symphony offers a impressive range of over 100 acoustic instruments with live, low-latency, and multi-track capabilities. Whether you import an existing Symphony/SP project or a MIDI/XML file, the interactive score display ensures an immersive experience optimized for smaller screens.

In terms of sharing your work, Symphony enables easy transfer to other editors or sheet music viewers. You can print your score with AirPrint, share it as a PDF attachment, or export it as a MIDI, MusicXML, or audio file to Dropbox and iCloud Drive.
