Batch Export

Batch export lets you generate all available file formats in a single action. Instead of exporting MIDI, PDF, MusicXML, and plain text one at a time, you get everything packaged together in a ZIP archive.

Pro feature: Batch export requires a Pro subscription.

Running a Batch Export

  1. Open the export panel from the main toolbar
  2. Select Export All (ZIP)
  3. Tap Export
  4. Save or share the ZIP file using the Files picker or share sheet

What’s in the Archive

The ZIP file contains one file for each supported export format:

  • ProjectName.mid — MIDI file
  • ProjectName.pdf — PDF tablature
  • ProjectName.musicxml — MusicXML
  • ProjectName.txt — Plain text ASCII tab

Files are named automatically based on the project name.

When to Use Batch Export

  • Archiving a completed transcription — keep all formats together in one place
  • Sharing a full transcription — send everything to a collaborator or teacher in one step
  • Backing up your work — export before making major edits so you have a snapshot

Saving to Files

The ZIP archive can be saved anywhere the Files app supports: iCloud Drive, local storage, or any connected cloud service like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Tip: After finishing a transcription, run a batch export and save it to iCloud Drive — you’ll have all formats available on any device without needing to re-export later.
