Music notation book? Possible or not?

I have a book to sell that is pure music notation. I can export it to a pdf, but it is still NOT text.
Is this possible to create in an iBook format?
I also want people to be able to print the entire thing or pages they select.

Yes, of course. Logic Express 8 has the same notation features as Logic Pro 8 which is used by professional composers. You can download the pdf manuals from Apple's website.

I'm looking for a text/music notation app

I am a drummer in a cover band who would like to use my iPad for my shorthand version of drum charts. What I currently have is a paper notebook, in which I have dedicated a page for each set. On each page, I have the song title, then the main drum beat(s) (written in musical notation), followed by any notes regarding arrangement, tempo, etc. All of this is condensed down into a couple of lines, so I can fit about 10 songs on each sheet of paper. I could scan in what I have now and view it that way, but I would rather have clear and editable digital based notation and text. Does anything like this exist, not for composing and arranging orchestral pieces, but for simply inserting a bar or 2 of music into some text?
In other words:
Locked Out Of Heaven    I------------------------------------I   Intro/V/PC/C/V/C etc...        120 bpm
                                     I---Musical notation---------I
                                     I------------------------------------I
                                     I------------------------------------I

If Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver does not work, then it is unlikely iBooks will do text to speach on its own in the current version.
<http://www.apple.com/feedback>
I know that some competing services, Kindle, Nook, etc... are restricted in doing text to speach by the book publishers.
If this is text in a PDF (not an ebook), then maybe there is another app that can to text to speach on PDFs.
If it is published books that are of interest, there is Audible.com <http://www.audible.com/>
In theory it should be possible to use the Mac OS X Text to Speach facilities to convert a document into an audio file, and they sync that to the iPod Touch. I assume there is similar text to speach utilities for Windows systems.
I'm also guessing that there are web sites dedicated to assisting sight impaired individuals that might provide ideas for getting text to speach options for the iPod Touch.

Music notation inaccurate and/or missing notes

I connected my Yamaha keyboard to my iMac via MIDI cables and was able to record a track in GarageBand by playing directly on my Yamaha keyboard. However, when I play back the recording and open the music notation view, the notes shown on the staff are either wrongly notated and/or missing. For example, a quarter note followed by 2 eighth notes are shown as a triplet! I was definitely NOT playing it as a triplet and it doesn't sound like a triple on playback, yet it is displayed as a triplet. Also, when I arpeggiate a chord which is held for a quarter note length, it is displayed as a quarter note block chord with MISSING notes, but yet you can HEAR ALL the correct notes in the arpeggiation during playback. What can I do to make GarageBand notate more accurately and display every note it is playing, that is, if you can HEAR the note being played, it must SHOW it on the staff. Please help!

Music and books not sync after downloading from prurchased

Hello everyone,
I have a problem that I don't undestand.
When I download a previously purchased app in my iPhone, it appears automatically as syncronized in iTunes but when I download even a song or a book, in iTunes it keeps as it is not syncronized and I don't understand it as now that book or song is in both devices, iPhone and Macbook so it should be sync.
Maybe that is a bug or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for your help and best regards

I see now that iTunes Match is a solution for music tracks. Does it also include iBooks content. or is there another solution for those books that were not purchased in the iBooks store?
Is there another way altogether to do this, using Dropbox or some other service not provided by Apple?

I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

Music Notation in java

hiya. I just wanted to know what processes would be involved in writing my own music notation UI, would it be done using a canvas? Somewhere you could edit and playback etc...I want to have a lot of control over the layout and style.
Thanks!

DoriNot to put you down, but if your have to ask such a thing, you are not ready to create such an application. I recommend doing some basic tutorials first*.

How good is the music notation facility in Logic Express 9?

The music notation feature in GarageBand is frustratingly inadequate. For instance, using a piano keyboard it is impossible - as far as I can tell - to show notes below middle C as being played by the right hand. This means that some very basic chords appear in the notation as being physically impossible to play. For instance, if I play C1 & E2 in the left hand and G2, C3 And E3 in the right, the music notation shows the left hand as C1, E2 and G2. I can't stretch that far!
If I upgrade from GarageBand to Logic Express 9, will the music notation facility enable me to print what I play?

Not without a lot of trouble, and not in an easily readable way. E.g., if you put a quaver over two semiquavers (thats an eighth over two sixteenths), the quaver will be split in two, so you'll see 4 semiquavers, two of which are bound. Changing a note's staff is possible, but can lead to ugly results. Logic Express (and I think Pro too) doesn't have a ready-to-print scoring facility.
I can advise you to use Logic for recording. There you can edit it until all the notes are correct, and then export the midi file to e.g. the freeware MuseScore. That gives you great control over the score. If that doesn't suit you, you'll have to move on to Finale, Sibelius, Overture, ...

Music and books can't be deleted

The music and books that I have purchased can't be deleted ! It's driving me nuts and I want them off really bad. Please can someone tell me how you can do it !

Did you try Settings>General>Restrictions>Deleting Apps>Off? That might be why the app will not delete. And remember that the preinstalled apps can't be deleted or reinstalled.
DId you try Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music. Then select the songs, albums, etc that you want to delete and then tap the Efot button in then screen? You can also select books in the Setrings and delete them there. Songs and albums can be deleted in the music app by swiping from right to left across them to get to the red delete button. Books can be deleted by going to the Library pane of iBooks, Tao the select button, tap the books that you want to delete in order to select them, then tap Delete in the upper left.
IF none of that works for you, close all apps on the iPad and then reset the device. Then try again. No data will be lost.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My iPad isn't syncing properly - It says it is syncing but then none of my new music, photos, books, or podcasts have been added!

This is getting really annoying as syncing my iPad 1 now take forever. It says it is syncing and goes through all the motions, and it does sync my apps,
but none of my musi, photos, books or podcasts, even though it's only half full so it has plenty of space. What I do at the moment is use "autofill" to add the music and podcasts and then I drag the new books from my iTunes library to my iPad in Itunes (I have a PC, by the way), but I still haven't found a slution for my photos - at present it's supposed to add all the photos in one of my folders on the computer, but it hasn't added the new ones in a long while.
I suspect this might have started when I added iOS 5, but I'm not 100% sure. Another thing I had lots of difficulty with earlier is that the music I synced was all greyed out and couldn't be played, but I solved that by choosing "manually manage music and videos" in Options. This might be why it's not syncing properly, but last time I tried reverting that it just greyed out my music again! What do I do?
Oh, one last thing - the music and books I'm adding at the moment aren't purchased from the Itunes stores, if that helps. Just the podcasts, and they seem to eventually add themselves after the sync.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Itunes in my mac and itunes in my mac book pro do not share the same number of songs, isn't icloud and match supposed to solve that problem?

My itunes library in my mac and mac book pro are not the same, depending on which machine I loaded the music on. Isn't icloud and match supposed to solve that problem?

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

HT1349 I have multiple Itunes accounts I would like to recover and merge the music purchased if possible. Some of the email accounts are no longer active. who can help ?

I have several old I tunes accounts I would like to re-cover the music from, and possibly merge all into one current account.
How , if at all can this be accomplished?
The accounts have email addresses no longer usable .
Is there a specific Apple I-Tune support group I can be directed to?

Apple IDs cannot be merged. You can change the email and name of an ID, but not merge it with another. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37.

I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books Itunes has been my only source for my media needs.

I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books Itunes has been my only source for my media needs. 397 Apps 759 Songs over 100 Videos 13 books 3 IPhones 2 IPods So here is my problem with ITunes I purchased an App and it is identical to one I have already brought. The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do. I wrote sup[port and asked if they could issue a credit. Mari at support wrote back and said he checked with his supervisor and they could not issue a credit. I told them what a good loyal customer I have been to Itunes and Apple and they still refused. Granted the App did not cost a lot of money (3.99) but it’s the principle. With customers having options to shop anywhere I would think a business would do whatever it takes to retain the loyal customers they do have Occasionally I rush to buy an App without fully understanding if it meets my needs. According to ITunes support that has occurred nine times. Here is the last reply that I received Roger, I know how frustrating it can be when things don't work the way they should be and I do apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. I am sorry but we could not be able to grant your request as we have made 9 exceptions on you. For more information on Apple's requirements for using the iTunes Store, please refer to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html Again, I am hoping for your kind understanding regarding this matter. Sincerely Mari iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor

"The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do."
You've already had 9 refunds? You understand that apps are sold on a non-return policy, presumably. You bought an app that didn't claim to do something that you wanted from it, and now that you've found that it doesn't, you want your money back.
Perhaps you've failed to explain your point properly but I can't see why you expect any sympathy from users here, not that it would make any difference. Only the store staff can issue refunds if they think appropriate. Chalk it up to experience. You could even contact the developer in advance of a purchase if you want to be certain an app does what you want. Then if it really fails to live up to the promise you would at least have a better argument for a refund.
