Features • Edit note position, duration, and fret • Write notation with Apple Pencil (iPad, ShamiScore Pro) • Set the tuning, including honchoshi, niagari, and sansagari • Set tempo and time signatures, then listen to playback • Export PDF, MIDI, and m4a audio • Save .shami documents and sync them with iCloud Drive The free version supports scores up to 64 measures. ShamiScore Pro is available as a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase.
