Please, add checkbox “play chord symbols”! Playing chords is amazingly important feature for creating lead sheets.

Can you hand write your chords and it’s recognized?

[mirkoferremi]

Hi, are gustar chord charts (diagrams) supported? Thanks.

[tHttUs]

i can do that but its writing into a row 🧐. I have the oportunity to print 4 bars in a line but i also want to see the sheet until i print it. any solution?

[rutecardoso]

Unfortunately, although my StaffPad has updated, two things still do not occur: the print screen is different and does not slide the screen to the right of the chosen instruments. How to deal with it?

[ramonbaubi]

It is possible use a different chords symbols? For example, use Maj7 instead of the triangle7?

[thecompletejake]

Can you write the chord names above the staff with an apple pencil or surface pen?

[laiyaulai]

I have a windows staff pad. Writing a quintuplet or more cannot be recognised. Also how can I write piano run on it?

[joseanquiles]

Is it possible to add Latine chords? DO, RE, MI, etc

[samipirttilahti]

Hello! Thank you for these great tutorials. How can I add more chords on one long note? Let's say that I have a whole note that lasts the whole bar and I want to change chord on every beat.

What if I want to stack notes without actually naming the chards?

[nunitoism]

It would be amazing to have a chord playback feature

[peterklein]

Is this an iPad or Mac OS? Forgive my ignorance of Apple products. I'm the stiff, uncool dude in the blue suit (Microsoft). Can Staffpad be installed on either being that it's an app? I think I'd much prefer it on a new generation iPad.

You missed an important thing: you haven't taught us how to input # and b using the keyboard. I've tried, but shift3 gives me a strange symbol instead of #, and Bb is just the letters B and b, not B flat. I'm still looking for a solution.

10mins later：
To input the # symbol, you need to use the option+3 key combination, not shift+3. This may seem a bit unusual at first.

The reason why Bb is not the same as B-flat is that you can't type it in the "text mode" where you can specify expression and tempo markings. Instead, you need to use a dedicated "chord mode" to input chords. Moving the cursor and using shortcut [T] are not the recommended way to enter chords.

Because I can recognize intervals but have trouble with syncopation it’s easier for me to write music then to read it

[EdProposito]

Windows update, when? I've been waiting for 1 month!

Why are there no answers to these questions??
Please, StaffPad ... help users or we will be users no more.

Don’t recommend using a triangle symbol in music notation. As a professional copiest, it’s not correct notation. With a program as sophisticated as StaffPad better to use professional notation.
