According to Tonality systems, there should be the option in Dorico for iPad to use 24-EDO as a tonality system.
However, the option does not appear in the panel. Is the feature supposed to be present, please?
Are you currently subscribed to the iPad version of Dorico?

Yes, I have a lifetime subscription. I’ll check when I get home whether it’s active as expected in the app.
Custom tonality systems are only included in Dorico Pro. Dorico for iPad with a subscription or Lifetime Unlock has similar functionality to Dorico Elements.

In that case, it’s a simple error in the documentation, which I will correct asap!

In that case, please consider this a request for at least quarter tone accidentals and playback, please, so common Middle Eastern intervals can be written on iPad

Is there a reason why 24-EDO isn’t a part of the iPad version? 1/4 tones are a pretty fundamental requirement and I now feel like I’ve wasted money purchasing the full version for iPad.
I strongly recommend that 24-EDO be included with the lifetime subscription for iPad.
Welcome to the forum, @RobinB. Dorico for iPad has the same functionality as Dorico Elements, and to date extended tonality has remained a feature only of Dorico Pro. However, a number of users have requested that we should provide at least support for 24-EDO music in Dorico Elements (and thus in Dorico for iPad with a subscription or Lifetime Unlock) and we are certainly considering this.

I have to admit, although I own a Lifetime Unlock for Dorico for iPad, I almost exclusively use my desktop version. Were an option to add more Pro features to iPad available, I expect I would use it more frequently. At present, were I to need to go mobile, I would almost certainly have to replace my 2012 Macbook with a new laptop rather than rely on Dorico for iPad in its current configuration.

Please do!
It’s upsetting learning I have to use a different program to write after investing in Dorico. I love the iPad interface and how accessible it is, but please push for a more comprehensive version (even if it is at an increased price point). I feel like I just paid $200 for a demo.
Robin, did you really pay $200 for the iPad version? The regular price tag is $119.99 - unless you took advantage of a promotional discount.
Comparison of features:
Announcement of lifetime-unlock:
The Lifetime Unlock costs $119.99 US dollars, but lots of countries in the world use currencies called dollars – I’m not sure exactly what Apple’s local prices are in every country in the world (we set the price using the bands that Apple provides, which are keyed off US dollars), but it’s not inconceivable that the price in Canadian or Australian dollars could be (or be close to being) $200, for example.

Correct, it was $200 AUD.
I use Jump Desktop so I can use the full functionality of the computer version on my iPad.
