When I saw this my first thought was: We need something like that for Math / technical drawing. I can understand that music is a good first application of this technology, but entering mathematical and engineering-related content through such an interface could be a huge deal as well.
Why wasn't handwriting recognition a big success?
The StaffPad app was reviewed at least 5 months ago [2] and truly does look very impressive, even if it's of particular interest for a relatively small demographic. I noted there was no mention in the SP4 announcement of the USB / sound device latency for the SP4 with W10 - so it's either so good we don't need to mention it, or a bit uncomfortable so best not to mention it.

HN front-end devs: If you were to make a web version of this, would it be better to use canvas or svg? And why?

I think math would require more error correction than music. Musical notation is pretty easy to get right, whereas math has a much larger symbol lexicon. Edit: Why the hell was this downmodded?

Not if you restrict the input to LaTeX notation.
Just wondering - wouldn't it be easier, not only for music notation but also for math and other scientific notation, if there was an on-screen keyboard custom-built for this very purpose with the required symbols and movement keys? After all, why require a stylus and why sketch the characters when you can just as easily type (actually, typing may turn out to be a much faster input method). Is there a real benefit to…
The ability to write as you think/feel it and have the computer handle digitization is a big step, and hopefully allows composers to just write, without working around their software's limitations.
