New features
[list=*]
[*]Improved instrument sounds[/*]

[*]MIDI keyboard support[/*]
[*]Smart chord symbol tool. Chords symbols will be automatically formatted, they will get transposed correctly, and you can even use it to add fingerings[/*]
[*]Lyric tool[/*]
[*]Scanned music sheet importer. Accepts all major image formats, including PNG, JPG, and PDF[/*]
[*]AirPrint. Easily print a page or the entire score from within the app[/*]
[*]AirPlay. Stream your music directly to compatible speakers, stereo systems, AV receivers, Apple TV, and other devices[/*]
