## Description

**Score Creator** is a mobile music notation and songwriting app for composers, musicians, songwriters, teachers, and students. Create sheet music with treble, alto, and bass clefs, notes, rests, time and key signatures, lyrics, chord symbols, slurs, ties, and more—using an intuitive keyboard-style interface optimized for composing on Android.

Build multi-track scores with instruments such as piano, guitar, violin, saxophone, flute, choir, brass, woodwind, and drums. Play back each instrument, transpose songs, change clefs, tempo, and signatures, or practice favorite songs while learning music notation. Scan sheet music from photos or import scores from PDF files, then edit and share your work by exporting to PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML for use in apps including MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, and GarageBand.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for easy score entry and mature development, with some even preferring it to MuseScore and noting a decent instrument set.
