Touch Notation by Kawai enhances your musical creativity, providing an intuitive platform for composing and notating music seamlessly.
2025 Editor's Rating

Touch Notation is a sophisticated tool for creating musical scores, offering users a seamless experience in music composition through touch gestures.

In Japan, Touch Notation was recognized as one of the ‘App Store Best of 2014’ selections and dominated the iPad Paid App charts for music applications for over a fortnight.

Unlike traditional music notation software that relies on dragging individual notes onto staves, Touch Notation enables musicians to directly draw onto the score using a fingertip or touch pen. The immediate transformation of these inputs into beautifully notated music, paired with the playback functionality utilizing the app’s 30 integrated instrument sounds, enhances the creative process.

  • A multitude of features easily accessible through an elegantly designed and user-friendly interface.
  • Incorporation of musical expressions for adjusting tempo and dynamics.
  • Layout tools including page breaks.
  • Convenient transpose function to alter the pitch of the entire score.
  • Option to output scores via Air Print or save them in PDF, SMF, MusicXML, and ScoreMaker formats on Dropbox.

Touch Notation facilitates manual input of various musical symbols such as notes, rests (including dotted and double-dotted), tuplets, grace notes, accidentals, ties, slurs, dynamics symbols, clefs, key signatures, time signatures, repeat marks, octave symbols, and more. Additionally, users can add lyrics and other annotations through text input or handwritten remarks directly on the score.

Note: Drum notation is supported; however, rhythm notation and tablature are not present. Users with older devices may encounter performance issues when playing intricate scores with numerous simultaneous notes
