Music Creator is the only non-game application by Schrott Games. It used to be called Music Maker for a long time, but had to be changed due to copyright.
Official Description[]
Tutorial (In the application)[]
Creating a new section 1
Creating a new section 2
When starting the application for the first time, a tutorial starts. A hand appears and points at the app's main features like adding sections and placing notes while text guides the sequencer what to do next.
The hand first points at the big + sign (Add New Section) kindly asking the sequencer to make their first section. Once they press it, the hand points on the "Create" button. (You can't use Beat during the tutorial, so just press Create asap.)
After the creation of the first section, the hand points at the newly-made section, asking the sequencer to touch the piano roll to create their first note. Once placed, the hand disappears and asks you to move or resize the note (which is done by touching either side of the note to resize, or touching the center to move.)
Once done, the sequencer will be asked to go to Delete Mode to delete the placed note(s) and to zoom in and out of the screen. The hand reappears and asks you to drag your section into a designated track, then remove it by double-tapping.
After the tutorial ends, a dialog follows:
"You have completed the tutorial! Continue to edit the current section or create new sections!"
You can restart the tutorial at anytime by making a new project with the "Show Tutorial" checkbox checked in the Advanced Options dialog.

History[]
Trivia[]
- It used to not have a channel on the Discord Server for a long time because it was abused for spam. It is now a part of #other and now has it's own dedicated Discord server which you can find the invite in the app itself.
- Surprisingly it has got the second-most downloads of Schrott Games' games (1M+), first being Scrap Clicker 2 with more than 1M.
- The current official description had a spelling error in the word "Creator" (instead, it's spelled as Creater.)
