Advanced features
Custom Beaming
Any beam-able note can be added to or broken from a previous beam group. Meters support “Beam Sub-divisions” which allow smaller or larger beam groups.
Fretboards
Support for fretboards can be turned on in the Staff Manager. A dropdown allows selection from various fretted instruments such as various guitars, banjos, dulcimers, etc. Fretboards work in conjunction with chord symbols and you can choose from dozens of permutations of any chord from the fretboard chooser pop up available in the chords panel tab. Fretboards are algorithmically created, so any set of chordal notes (even user created) can generate dozens of fretboards.
Chord Editor
A chord panel allows you to enter text-based chords (CM, EbSus2/C, Am7, etc.) above the staff with full playback plus a separate Chord Editor to create your own chords available across all your scores.
Transformation Editor
A revolutionary set of tools allows you to extend, reorder, delete, and/or transform your score in a variety of ways - all without having to write a single new note of music.
Illegal Measure Buttons
MusicJOT allows you to compose freely without meter restrictions, but will indicate measures that are not meter compliant in duration by placing a small "not equal" (illegal measure) button in measures that do not comply. To fix a measure automatically, just tap the button. MusicJOT will either truncate or add rests to the measure.
Display Modes, Layers, and Stats
Select from three viewing modes: Scroll, Page and Presentation. MusicJOT also supports layers which can be turned on or off. For example, you may wish to hide all expressions to declutter your work area. Statistics show some metrics about your score such as number of key changes, etc.
Virtual Pointer
The virtual pointer is a clever way to select interior chordal notes or notes that are just very close together. Additionally, it acts as a live music scrubber, sounding individual notes, chords, or the entire score with pitch and octave identification.
Visual Road Map
View the repeat structure in your score (1st and 2nd endings, del segnos, etc.) at a glance. Each entry in this window has a measure range and number of times it is repeated. You can tap on any line in the map window and the relevant measures will be highlighted in the measure bar. Tap once to go to the start of the range and again to the end.
Help System
MusicJOT has an exhaustive and searchable reference manual. Tapping on any ‘?’ (help) icon displays an overlay of help labels which can be tapped to bring up the relevant page in the reference manual. In addition, a Getting Started tutorial is available to work through using Split Screen mode with an internet connection.
Playback Supported Events
MusicJOT supports playback of the basic dynamics (ppp - fff), tempo markings and an assortment of expressions such as accents, ottavas, etc.
Music Spacing
MusicJOT uses a sophisticated algorithm for spacing music which can be customized including user preferences for switching between different methods.
Transposing Instruments
All of the standard instrument transpositions are included with user overrides for full customization.
Slur Flipping
Flip slurs to above, below or automatic.
