Chart Navigation
Grant Jordan
I'm trying to create full song drum transcriptions that I can export as PDF's for gigs. Two main tools that would help make this very functional and intuitive.
- Repeat signs per bar (so not seeing the same beat written over and over)
- Naming sections (ex. first 8 bars are labeled "verse 1, next 8 are chorus, etc.)
I know with Sibelius you have all tools needed to create a score or transcription but in many ways it's poor and tedious for drumset notation. In many ways your App is superior and intuitive for drum notation. I don't need every map option (coda's, 1st/2nd endings, dynamic markings) just those two tools mentioned above would suffice for most tunes. Of course the more chart options provided the better but those two mentioned you get the job done while other features are developed. Are the features I mentioned something the app is considering having?
Thanks

Hello Grant Jordan and thanks for your contribution to the roadmap! I appreciate your kind words about Beat Note and appreciate your support. Beat Note is more suited for shorter passages than full transcriptions at the current time, though as you've indicated, with some enhancements to managing longer compositions, Beat Note could become a more effective tool.
Both features you requested are already being considered and I have existing enhancement requests for you to check out:
Supporting Repeats: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/repeat-barsmeasures
Song Chart Template: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/song-chart-template
If you could kindly add your vote to these two enhancement requests, then I can consider this when prioritizing that work. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! Best, Derek
