You sir, are a genius. The app looks amazing, but your demo is simply perfect. How many takes?

#12This looks extremely impressive and elegant. I'm excited to buy the iPad version -- it's a perfect fit. What format is the purchased music? The engraving is impressive, so my first guess is that it's some part PDF and some part MIDI information + metadata to match MIDI to PDF contents?
It's its own format (engraving + metadata + midi). It actually uses optimized PNGs, but the iPad version uses PDF.
I'm going to do a detailed technical overview on dangrover.com when I get a chance

Cool, I look forward to it.
I suppose one obvious next question is: did you do the engraving yourself? What tools did you use? And: when can I purchase Rachmaninoff's Etudes? :-)

#16Wow, nice work. I think $3 is way too cheap, especially compared to piano lessons. I'd easily pay $50 (I'm an Android user though).

#17$2.99? I really hope you raise the price. This app looks exquisite and it provides immediate value.
Well done! The iPad version could be a game changer...

#19Super cool. How long did it take you to develop the app?

It is noted that the price is introductory.
