Well, it seems that the chaps over at Muse Score, the wonderful free music writing software, have done what Sibelius, or indeed any other half-decent rival should have done and created an android app for viewing music. Fantastic. It won't be long before composers are writing their next symphony on their mobile phone while on the bus on their way to a football match. I would post a link on here but I've no idea how to do it on a phone. I'll save that for another blog. Meanwhile, i will share this thought with you. While writing the word Sibelius on my phone, the predictive text first suggested "phallus". X
UPDATE: Here is the link for the ANDROID app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musescore.player&referrer=utm_source%3Dmusescore.com%26utm_medium%3Dandroid-link
As you can see, they are charging three quid for it, which is about three quid more than the PC version of the software costs. Still, I suppose they've got to make their money somewhere.
If, on the other hand, you possess an iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch, and have the misfortune to live outside of the United States of America, then you're in trouble. This particular app is not available in your country; you have two choices. Either sell up and move to the US as quickly as possible (good luck getting a work visa), or get yourself a proper phone. iTunes won't even provide me with a link to the app on their store, so I can't give it to you. x
