Hey everyone, first off thank you so much for the response to the launch post. The feedback, bug reports, and kind words genuinely meant a lot and went straight into these updates.

I included a general walkthrough video of the app so you can see it in action

I've been heads down this past week and a half addressing the most common issues people ran into.

Here's what's new:

New

Scores now use vector-backed pages and look significantly sharper on all displays, PDF export is sharper tooAria now has keyboard support, including shortcuts for copy/paste, navigation, note entry, transposition, duration, rests, dots, ties, slurs, and pitch movement
Added an Instrument Layout menu for showing, hiding, and reordering instruments
System breaks can now be manually removed
Overhauled playback system, now works better across different score types

Improved

Individual parts handling, including preserved formatting after iPad round-trips and safer part saving so parts don't get rebuilt or mismatched
System break and "keep bars together" behavior
Time signature, key signature, and pickup measure editing
Add Measures now uses a simpler +/− dialog
Tempo editing, chord entry, and note adjustment controls
Playback quality, loading, and audio/visual sync
Audio export performance
Header/footer page count rendering

Fixed

iOS 16 launch issue
Time signature and key signature detection
Coda/Segno symbols no longer open as editable text (but can still be deleted)
Hidden instruments no longer play back
Playback cursor sync and audio artifacts
More accurate notation rendering in various edge cases
Various other bug fixes and improvements
Still a lot more to do but this felt like a meaningful step forward. Keep the feedback coming! It’s directly shaping what I work on next.

I made this so I could edit my Musescore Files on the go!

Hey everyone,

I've been working on this for a while now. I always wanted to be able to open and edit my MuseScore scores on my phone or iPad without being tied to a desktop so I decided to build Aria.

Aria is an iPad/iPhone app for opening, reading, editing, playing back, and exporting MuseScore and MusicXML scores. Under the hood, I got a substantial MuseScore Studio-derived C++ render core running natively on iOS, including engraving, score editing, MusicXML handling, saving/export, and playback event generation, then wrapped it in a native SwiftUI interface. 

What it does:

• Opens and renders MuseScore (.mscz) and MusicXML files
• Edit your .mscz files directly on iOS
• Play back scores locally
• Create new scores from scratch or from templates
• Edit notes enter notes with touch controls, Apple Pencil, or Midi controller
• View and manage individual parts
• Export and share your work, as Mscz, Pdf, MusiXML, audio, and more..
• Works on both iPhone and iPad

Fair warning: editing support is still early days, so there will likely be bugs. It'll be a work in progress for sure so feel free to let me know about bugs!

Source, license text, third-party notices, and build instructions are all included:

If you regularly read or edit scores on iOS especially if you've run into friction with existing apps I'd really value your feedback. This is an iPad first app but has iPhone support as well.

Thank you for reading!
