Melody Notepad - Your Mobile Sheet Music Companion

Melody Notepad is an intuitive sheet music editor designed specifically for mobile devices, allowing you to quickly jot down melodies on your phone or tablet. Once you've created your musical masterpiece, you can easily export it to MuseScore, a powerful open-source desktop software, where you can further refine and finalize your composition.

Key Features

• G Clef and Notes: The application supports notes ranging from E3 to A6 under the G clef, making it suitable for a wide range of compositions.
• User-Friendly Interface: The app displays only one large musical staff on the screen, ensuring that editing can be done swiftly using your fingers. Larger devices like tablets provide a better experience due to the ease of precise touch input.
• Simple Editing: Insert notes with a single tap on a line or interline, replace them with a double tap, and swipe left or right to scroll through your melody. The app functions similarly to a text editor, complete with backspace and delete functionalities.
• Segment Management: Define segments within your melody using a long press, then copy and paste them as needed.
• Basic Display Options: The sheet music display is minimalistic, focusing on the essentials such as note beaming, but leaving out more complex elements like slurs, articulations, dynamics, and grace notes for MuseScore to handle.
• Limited Musical Instructions: Currently, the app supports a handful of musical instructions including ties, triplets, repeat bars, and volta brackets.
• Audio Playback: Enjoy a basic playback feature that lets you hear your melody using piano sounds.
• Genre Customization: Define up to five musical genres and filter your melodies accordingly.
• Included Examples: Start off with three preloaded examples to get familiar with the app’s capabilities.
