Browse the full catalogue of bagpipe embellishments — doublings, grips, taorluaths, birls, throws, and more. Select any note and pick the embellishment you need from a visual guide. Grace notes render reactively, adapting to the melodic context.
Tap any bar to access powerful editing tools. Copy, paste, delete, or rearrange bars with ease. Add 1st and 2nd time endings, change time signatures mid-tune, and validate bar durations to catch errors before they reach the practice room.
Change time signatures with an intuitive circular picker. Spin the outer ring to set beats and the inner ring for note values — from common time to complex asymmetric metres. Time signatures can be set per bar, so mixed-metre tunes are fully supported.
Tap the staff to place notes, drag vertically to change pitch, and long-press to open a visual duration picker. Every duration from semibreve to demisemiquaver is supported, including dotted variants. Swipe a note down to delete it.
Toggle ties between consecutive notes, draw a zigzag glissando line between adjacent pitches, add natural or flat symbols, and group three notes into triplets. Dedicated buttons appear on the selected note for quick access to every option.
Add one or more harmony parts to any staff. Each line has independent note editing, and all parts play back together with adjustable volume and stereo panning.
Add or remove staves, insert single lines or full parts, and label sections with custom headings — perfect for piobaireachd ground and variations.
Add colour-coded text notes below the staff to mark tricky passages and jot down performance reminders.
Every edit is tracked in a 50-step history. Cmd+Z on Mac or the toolbar buttons step backwards through any change — from a single note placement to deleting an entire staff.
On Mac and iPad with external keyboard, arrow keys adjust pitch and duration, Delete removes notes, and standard shortcuts handle undo and redo.
Pinch to resize the score on iPhone and iPad, or use Cmd+/Cmd− on Mac. Zoom in to work on fine details or zoom out for an overview of the whole piece.
Group tunes into ordered sets, drag to reorder, and edit each tune individually. Ideal for competition medleys and concert programmes.
All your tunes, folders, practice sessions, and settings sync seamlessly via iCloud.
