StaffPad
StaffPad turns handwritten music on iPad into editable notation and combines it with audio, playback, and export tools.
Consider it if you compose by writing directly on a score with Apple Pencil.
ScoreSync can send individual parts to Reader devices over Wi-Fi, while MusicXML and MIDI support interchange.
Keep in mind: Check iPad and Pencil compatibility and any sample library costs before buying.
