I have just purchased and installed the music-notation app 'Symphony 2.6.4' on my iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1). The users' manual referred to in the AppStore and elsewhere seems no longer to be available from <http://www.xeapps.com/symphony-manual.pdf>, the site specified in the AppStore, etc. I wonder if any reader of these discussions has an idea from where I might be able to obtain this manual?
Thank you in anticipation.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Yes, Google is indeed really useful, especially if one searches for the right thing. That link is for the SymphonyPro manual, not the Symphony one. Google was, of course, the first thing I tried.
PS: Google found me the right manual on DocStoc.com, but I am not prepared to pay for the manual a month's downloading fee that is 3 or 4 times what I paid for the app. The whole manual is actually there in miniature, barely legible, on the DocStoc webpage, but I shoul;d still be grateful for a pointer to a legible, downloadable version.
Have you tried contacting the developer?
Looking at the reviews, I'd have gone for the Pro version for the extra price of a cup of coffee, and apparently cheaper than paying for access to a manual.
Coffee must be expensive in Berkshire! £500 or so for a cup?
Reviews are useful when they apply. Specifications are useful, too. SymphonyPro does not work on iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1.
Yes, I tried to find a way of contacting the developer, but have failed so far.
We must be looking at different apps: I'm looking at Symphony Pro 3.2.6 at £6.99. But you are right - it needs an iPad and iOS 5.1 and up.
Yes, in fact Symphony was the original app created by Xenon Labs and went through several updates before being superseded by SymphonyPro, its later devopment. The latter is much, much better. But until I can afford a new cup of coffee iPhone, I am stuck with plain old Symphony. Being an experienced composer and teacher who has used Finale (like Sibelius, Finale is a very complex and sophisticated music notation application for desktop computers) for years, I find Symphony quite frustrating, but in principle it may be useful for putting down ideas while away from home.
