Tech Tuesday: StaffPad

StaffPad for Microsoft Surface turns handwritten music notation into beautifully printed music that can be played back and easily edited.

Check out this incredible demo - note that the background music is actually taken from the score that's written in the video!

StaffPad is a revolutionary new music notation application for Windows 8.1 and Surface. More information is available at http://www.staffpad.net StaffPad allows composers, musicians, students, teachers - anyone interested in music - to write notation by hand directly onto virtual manuscript. StaffPad features advanced handwriting recognition, and will convert your music into a beautifully typeset score.

My favorite feature is the way you can manually shape expression to give a true natural feel to crescendos and diminuendos - absolutely brilliant!

StaffPad is now available in the Windows Store. Visit StaffPad.net to learn more.
