Touch Notation

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I delete memos?

As used in the Notation Input Mode, you can use a long tap (press and hold) to directly select the memo object, or a long tap away from the memo then drag to select an area. An edit menu appears after the object is selected, use a tap to select cut, copy, paste, or delete.

On iPhone 6s devices, Touch Notation may close unexpectedly when touching the score area.

This issue has been resolved in version 1.0.104 of Touch Notation. Please update to the latest version of the app.

How can I add or delete measures?

Simply write or delete a measure bar.

Touch Notation crashes under iOS9.

This issue has been resolved in version 1.0.103 of Touch Notation. Please update to the latest version of the app to ensure stability under iOS9.

How can I enter slurs that straddle between two pages?

The current version of Touch Notation does not allow entering slurs that straddle pages. Instead, please enter separate slurs for both pages, then drag the start and end points of the slurs to give the appearance of a single straddled slur.

How do I select a part?

Selecting a part can be achieved by double-tapping then holding (on the second tap) the far left or far right side of the part. Specifically, you double-tap in the left or right margin of the score beside the desired part, then leave your finger or touch pen momentarily on the screen for 1 second or more. Dotted red lines should then appear around the staff. During this time, you can also drag your finger/touch pen up or down to select multiple parts. Finally, release your finger/touch pen to confirm selection, and the desired parts will be highlighted in blue.
