It is document-based and features adjustable grid size, random cell insertion and more.

Editing tools beyond pen and pattern stamp also include options like copy, paste and rotate.

I bought Quincy for iOS a long time ago, but I still don't have a current device on which to run it (I'm on a 1st gen iPad). The dev has updated it six times so far on iOS, which to me shows commitment to maintaining the app. Also, it looks like it might be more accessible than a certain other cross-platform generative music app. I'll be interested to see what people say about this.
