Its obvious at this point that the fastest way for musicians to score their music is with a pencil and paper. It is also obvious that a notation software makes the score easily readable. That being said its obvious that music notation software needs to use the Apple Pencil and iPad Pro for ultimate experience of saving paper and time while having the cleanest score. Finale needs to focus heavily on the iOS platform for future development. If I hand write a dotted quarter Finale iOS should recognize it and automatically fill in the space with Jazz or Classical notation style. This is the future of digital scoring!

Hi Vincent:

 

As Mike has stated, I've made it clear that we are not actively working on a Finale port to the iOS at this time. There has been a long thread on this topic that you can view here. I've commented extensively on that thread and welcome further discussion on what problems you're trying to solve.

 

Cheers,

MM has made it clear that there are NO plans at this time to make Finale available for iOS.

 

So, asking for the pencil is pretty much superfluous.

And typing one's subject line in all caps will not make it so. :-)

Yeah it's ok. I'll just use Pages to make my digital staff documents then export them as PDF to iCloud Drive and open it on my iPad Pro and write it in with my Apple Pencil, name them appropriately and merge them with PDF Suite...Problem solved!
