IQ != Intelligence, Intelligence doesn't necessarily imply evolutionary success

I've been working on converting midi/virtual midi input (from a performer) to notation in real time for an iPad notation app. It really is hard - I spent a tremendous amount of time on it, an still plan on improving it indefinitely after the feature ships.

I really appreciate the feedback. This is what drove at least 80% of the development time. We spent more time fixing issues and adding certain features that beta testers reported & requested than developing the gist of the application. (i.e. we thought we were done but actually were far from it - this was the obstacle I was talking about).

By the way, you can delete bars by tapping the gear icon and then tapping a measure to open a popover.

We will make a better PDF export system and advanced lyrics and chord notation support.

Again, many thanks.

We just released an iPad app called Symphony Pro. I'd like to know what you guys think! We applied to YC on the basis of music composition on the iPad last spring, didn't get in, but eventually pulled through. Development did take a while due to some obstacles.

I can give more if they are used up

Thanks for the suggestion. We will take a look at that

We are working on music composition software for the iPad. We currently have an iPhone app out called Symphony (which already runs on the iPad), but we need to redesign it to accomodate the larger screen size.

We've applied to YC with a music composition application as opposed to a music reader. We think the iPad is ideal for this domain since the much larger screen will allow users to take advantage of interfaces like a virtual keyboard or guitar that you can't really fit in an iPhone's screen.

Best of luck on Etude - it looks great.
