cf7 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Hello everyone! Was just wondering if you can HANDWRITE music notation in the score editor in the new Logic for iPad? From what I can find, you can handwrite in notes, name regions etc, and Logic will change your handwriting to text, but cannot find anything about handwriting notation into the score editor. THANK Y😊U!!! Stay well and play on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution oscwilde Posted March 27 Solution Share Posted March 27 Logic Pro for iPad doesn't have scoring features (yet). it would be an ideal device/feature to be able to transcribe using an Apple Pencil, but we'll have to wait a while for this, I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cf7 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Thank you oscwilde!!! You'd think it would be one of the first functions available since you can handwrite notes, track names, etc. Ah well. Maybe they are revamping the age old score editor! We can always hope! Thanks again and stay well! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzmcgavern Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Haven't tried this yet but it might work for at least converting written stuff to MIDI and then importing into Logic: https://scan-score.com/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have a score edit window (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzmcgavern Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Ah, I understand; I'm guessing it's also impossible to handwrite with a touch screen or mouse on the Mac OS version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No touch screen Macs...and the mouse (or trackpad) lacks the precision required for this sort of use. The iPad/Pencil appear to be ideally-suited to the task....but we'll just have to wait until Apple can develop this idea. While the Score editor is well-established, the using it like paper paradigm (on an iPad) would require a pretty significant programming effort....as existing input methods - dragging/dropping of symbols/notes, etc. from part boxes would need to be maintained...for non-Pencil users. It would definitely be a killer feature though, for the dots and lines crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Even a Score editor in Logic Remote would be great! 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often track drums etc. in a separate room from my computer and being able to navigate around more on an iPad while in the live room would be such a workflow improvement.

gacki Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I've tried numerous times to get something useful out of StaffPad but so far I've failed nearly every time. So I wouldn't hold my breath here. (IMO handwriting recognition still sucks for normal texts let alone music notation.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
