About Autograph Notation

Autograph turns handwriting into engraved music notation. Write a note with Apple Pencil and it becomes a properly engraved note right where you wrote it: on the staff, at the right pitch, in the right place in the bar. WRITE THE WAY YOU THINK • Handwrite notes, rests and more with Apple Pencil • Or tap to place notes, type with the number keys, or play them in from a MIDI keyboard. Every method makes the same edits. • Pencil writes, finger scrolls and zooms, so the page never gets in your way NOTATION THAT LOOKS PUBLISHED • Engraved with the Bravura music font • Automatic beaming, spacing, accidentals and page layout • Multiple voices, chords, ties, slurs, tuplets, grace notes and rolled chords • Time and key signatures, clefs, dynamics, articulations and repeats • Lyrics, including multiple verses, and chord symbols • Piano and multi-staff scores HEAR IT AND SHARE IT • Play your score back and follow along bar by bar • Export to PDF for printing • Import and export MusicXML and MEI, to work with other notation software PAY ONCE Autograph is free to download. Every feature is unlocked for 28 days. After that, a single one-time purchase keeps editing unlocked for good, with no subscription. Reading, playback and export stay free forever, so your scores are never locked away. Autograph works on iPad, and supports the first-generation Apple Pencil.
