StaffPad

StaffPad is a scorewriter application for creating musical compositions using handwriting recognition and multi-touch input for music notation.

Originally released for Windows 8 on 31st March 2013[1][2], StaffPad was subsequently released on iPadOS on 5th February 2020[3][4]. Designed for composers, orchestrators, arrangers, songwriters, and teachers, StaffPad is used to craft compositions, edit notation, and play back score using samples to create a digital performance[5]. It features adaptive toolsets, a pressure-toggled Erase tool, and text recognition for musical notation[6].

Notable users of StaffPad include the Royal Academy of Music[7], the BOND String Quartet performing at Microsoft Build[8], and child prodigy Garrett Weyenberg[9].

In 2020, StaffPad received the Apple Design Award for Outstanding Design and Innovation[10].

StaffPad Reader

StaffPad Reader is a companion application for iPadOS and Microsoft Windows 10, designed for near real-time viewing of StaffPad score files[11]. The Reader application communicates with StaffPad over a Wi-Fi network, and displays an automatically formatted part for any musical staff contained in the full score. Multiple Reader applications can connect to the same instance of StaffPad, forming a one-to-many relationship between StaffPad and musicians using the Reader. The user is able to make changes to the full score with StaffPad, with the results updated automatically on all connected Readers[12].
