I've used the Notion app and the Symphony Pro app and the MusicXML 
export works just fine from them to Finale or Sibelius.  I haven't used 
NotateMe enough to get to the exporting point but I see no reason it 
wouldn't work as well.

Those are all on the iPad.  As notation apps, like Jari points out they 
are nowhere nearly as mature as Finale or Sibelius, so I've only used 
them as scratch-pad notation apps and done all the real creation and 
editing on my computer using Sibelius or Finale.

Re: [Finale] Writing on tablet using XML to move it to Finale

2014-01-30 Thread James Cooper
Thank you all for the responses.  I am looking to use the app as a
scratch-pad and then do more work to be completed in Finale 2014.

At this point I am trying to decide whether to get an iPad or one of the
other tablets, and I want to make sure I can do music sketches etc. on it
and later move them to Finale.  It sounds like I can.

Since I am on a PC that I want to synchronize with the tablet, one of my
concerns is about being able to move files back and forth easily.  I
understand that with the iPad I can't actually view what is on it (like you
would with Finder on your Mac), and can only move files in  out by iCloud
(not available to me) or using what you can in iTunes or DropBox or what is
in an app itself.  This bugs me a bit.  Whereas with a Kindle Fire or a
Samsung tablet I think I would be able to view the files on my PC, when
attached by USB, and move them in  out. I realize this is not a Finale
question, but if anyone cares to comment, it would be appreciated.

Thanks --- James

It's ios way to work. Everything has to be syncronized by iTunes. 
You can bypass this limit mailing or dropboxing your files. Some apps have 
wifi sync possibility with browser, but actually my notation app on iPad 
(symphony pro) does not.

NotateMe on iPad with a stylus works ok, after the learning period, if 
all you're going to notate is very traditional music.

Notion has no hand writing support and is in the same category of apps 
as Symphony Pro. You enter the music traditionally in both these apps. 
The problem with both Notion and Symphony Pro are that they try to be 
mature notation programs, but the notation editing capabilities are 
really bad.

For a way to just enter music for MusicXML output for further 
processing, any of these apps should work, although I haven't tested 
MusicXML export from Notion myself.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson

Hi James,

I use 'Notate Anytime' on my Samsung Note 3. I import a blank manuscript page 
(created elsewhere and stored on my phone's micro SD as a pdf). Within the app 
you can then zoom to any level and write by hand using the Note 3 stylus (on a 
variety of pen colours/ thicknesses/ erase and even import/ resize other 
elements etc) onto the blank manuscript. The Note 3 has a big enough screen to 
comfortably work in any location/ scenario ironically, a nice return to the 
old days of paper and pen! I've not yet attempted to scan the result to see how 
feasible it is in importing to Fin 2014, but thought I'd share this idea anyway.

Best regards, Mark
