What is MusicPad?
MusicPad is an iPad app that offers you a pen-and-paper experience with the music you handwrite. Designed to be used with the Apple Pencil, it packs many handy features well integrated with Apple’s ecosystem.
It’s great for musicians, composers, arrangers, producers, students, educators, and basically anyone who enjoys handwriting music.
