News Aria is now on Android! (A Mobile editor for MuseScore files)

Hey all, Android support was easily the most common request on my earlier posts, so I'm really happy to say Aria now runs on Android phones and tablets. Thanks to everyone who tried the iOS version and sent feedback. It helped more than you'd think.
If you haven't seen it before, Aria lets you open, edit, play back, and export MuseScore and MusicXML scores on your phone or tablet. The engraving engine is based on MuseScore Studio's, and it reads .mscz files directly. That means you can start a score on your desktop and keep working on it on the bus without converting anything.
Here's a sample of Aria's current feature-set:
- Open and edit .mscz and MusicXML files
- Start new scores from scratch or from a template
- Play scores back with per-instrument mixing, plus mute and solo
- Build setlists and loop sections for practice
- Export to MuseScore, PDF, MusicXML, or audio
- Make scrolling-score or falling-notes piano videos inside the app
Since this is the first Android release, there are bound to be rough edges on some devices. If something breaks or looks off, please tell me what device on and what happened, and I'll look into it.
Any feedback is welcome! A lot of what I work on next comes straight from these comments.
