Hi everyone,

I'm Peter, a software developer. I've been developing a songwriter application running on smart phones, named "Simple Song Creator". I have finished the first version for iPhone and Windows Phone.
It is a simple music composing application that has the ability to write out the music notes and lyrics of the songs you want to compose. You can use the app to capture new song ideas that come to your mind everywhere you go.

* Features:
- Write music notes and lyrics. It supports a range of note pitches from E3 (the lowest pitch of a guitar) to A5, and a range of note durations from whole to sixteenth note. Accidentals (sharp, flat, natural) and dotted notes are also supported.
- Playback function with the piano sound.
- Export the songs into MIDI or MusicXML files that you can copy to your computer when connecting your phone through iTunes, so that you can continue editing the songs using professional music composing softwares like Encore, Finale, Guitar Pro, ... Or you can send the file via email. For Windows Phone's devices, you can upload the songs to SkyDrive or Dropbox and then download to your computer.

Have a look at it on the app store:
- iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simple-song-creator/id572550128?ls=1&mt=8
- Windows Phone: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/simple-song-creator/2dffd7e0-089d-4b18-ae89-f7a396d12cac

Thanks a lot for reading!

No, it doesn't. It does general sheet music in notation, not in tab.

Thank you for your care about my app. I would love to make a version for Android too. However, I'm focusing almost my effort to do the app on iOS at the moment. The version on Android may be made after I've got a good version on iOS.
