MusicTools
MusicTools is a set of tools designed for music students, amateur, and professional musicians. This initial release contains a comprehensive music dictionary and a set of useful quick reference charts. MusicTools contains thousands of definitions, abbreviations and performance notations used in music from the 18th century through the present day. Future versions will contain additional tools to assist all levels of musicians with rehearsal and performance.
This version features an extremely fast, easy-to-use dictionary search engine and an intuitive set of charts allows for quick use during lessons, practice sessions, and rehearsals. English, German, Latin, Italian and French variations of words and pronunciations are also provided. Musicians who play from older manuscripts will find MusicTools especially helpful in identifying older notations and abbreviations no longer listed in modern dictionaries.
Features in this edition:
* Comprehensive Music Dictionary based on Elson's original classic Pocket Music Dictionary
* Abbreviations Chart
* Accelerations Chart
* Retardations Chart
* Tempo Markings Chart
* Musical Symbols Chart
MusicTools is produced by musicians for musicians and is designed to help you be the best musician you can be!
What's new
Over 600 new words have been added, many of them specifically for brass players, and some were suggested by you, our awesome customers. Thanks for your suggestions!
Special character support has been added to just a portion of the dictionary so that words like "Scwächer", for example, now properly display the umlaut. We decided to apply this to only a portion of the words in this release because putting special characters into the words will now require you to enter these characters when searching the dictionary. So before we go any further, we'd like your feedback. If you would like to see this support added to the entire dictionary, please let us know via the Support feature on the previous screen. If you'd prefer we remove the special characters entirely, we'd like to hear about that too.
Under the covers, preliminary support has been added for international versions of the dictionary.
And finally, we've added a link for you to easily rate MusicTools on the App Store should you wish. Rather than take the approach of many apps that rudely interrupt you to ask for a rating while you're trying to use them, we've simply made the feature available under the "More" tab for your use. And thank you in advance, if you use it!
Fixes:
- In certain situations a word in a list of search results could be displayed below the tab bar and was not selectable.
