15.0 Roadmap

It’s been a busy few weeks and forScore 15 has gotten five updates already, with 15.0.5 rolling out last week. We’re prepping a bigger update with 15.0.6, so we wanted to take a moment to call out some of the changes we’re making and why:

• iPadOS 26 broke a lot of interface elements, including ‘popovers’ which forScore has used since the very beginning to present menus and certain utilities. We introduced sidebar mode a few years ago, and we made it the default with 15.0 since popovers were in a pretty sorry state. Now we’ve managed to work around those issues and 15.0.6 should prevent weird issues like the navigation bar’s left or right items disappearing for no reason. It also brings back the previous behavior of being able to turn pages while viewing the metronome.

• This update also includes a new sharing extension which allows you to import compatible file types into forScore without dealing with iPadOS 26’s frustrating new behavior of opening a new window every time you use the “open in” function from another app. It also finally provides a way to import multiple files at once, something Apple’s APIs have promised for years but never implemented correctly.

• 15.0.6 also fixes some bugs with setlists like new setlists not being created in the current folder, “fresh” filtering not working correctly for setlist contents, and resolves a crash when deleting a setlist entry after using the search function to narrow down results. The setlist creator now also remembers its sorting method and category type when reopened, and it now allows filtering like the main menu does.

• Finally, this version resolves some minor page layout issues, especially when annotating with Apple Pencil.

If you reached out to us about these issues, please know that we heard you, we appreciate your feedback, and we’ll get this update out just as soon as Apple’s App Review approves it. Thank you very much for your help, patience, and support!
