Your Music Library
As Easy as PDF
Since they’re so common, forScore was designed around the PDF file format. That makes finding new music, digitizing your existing collection, and sharing files with colleagues a breeze.
Automatically Organized
Instead of managing files and folders, forScore lets you search, sort, and browse through your collection using metadata like composer, genre, and key. Menus are dynamic so they’re always up to date.
Sync with iCloud
Add files from your computer, cloud storage services, or import PDFs from apps like Mail or Safari and access them from all of your devices with iCloud syncing. Go ahead, take requests.
Metadata
Add an unlimited number of comma-separated composers, genres, tags, and labels to each of the scores in your library. Set a rating, difficulty level, duration, and key to find a piece that’s just right. Find items by title or look them up by a custom reference identifier instead. Batch edit multiple files at once, and even import standard PDF metadata like title, author, subject, and keywords.
With forScore, your menus are always up to date because they show attributes instead of locations. Since files have multiple attributes, they can appear in many different lists simultaneously. That means you can focus on what you want instead of where you left it.
If some types of metadata don’t fit your needs, rename them. With forScore your library works for you—not the other way around.
Audio Tracks
Associate audio files with each score to play with backing tracks. Independently adjust speed or pitch, loop a specific section, or even turn pages automatically at particular points in the song.
Beyond Paper
Half-page Turns
See the bottom half of one page and the top half of the next page at the same time for perfect transitions and zero visual interruption. No scrolling, no gimmicks, just an easy fix for an age-old problem.
Hands Free
Bluetooth page turners from companies like PageFlip, AirTurn, and IKMultimedia make page turn pauses a thing of the past. Set one on the ground next to you and turn pages with foot pedals.
Repeats
Handle repeats with style by creating a link between two pages of a score. Tap on a link to go to the target page and a signal will flash twice, showing you exactly where to begin playing.
Content Providers
A great sheet music reader needs great content, so we’ve teamed up with digital sheet music retailers like Musicnotes, Noteflight, Virtual Sheet Music, and others to give you instant access to your purchases right from within our app.
Digital sheet music from these content providers is digitally sourced so there’s no tradeoff between quality and resolution. They’re orders of magnitude smaller than scanned files, saving you storage space and keeping your device from working overtime. Best of all, they’re fully licensed so you can avoid legal gray areas and support the people behind each song.
Use forScore to download your purchases as standard PDF files. No more crooked scans or missing pages, just purely digital content the way it was meant to be used: free from unnecessary restrictions or awkward limitations. It’s the high-quality sheet music you deserve and a best-in-class music reading experience you’ll love.
Scan
Going digital doesn’t mean you have to leave your paper music behind. Scan is forScore’s built-in document scanning function that lets you create PDF files using your device’s camera. Scan leverages system functionality to make digitization fast, flexible, and easy: it automatically finds the edges of your page, snaps a photo when it’s ready, and applies optional filters to give you incredible results in seconds.
From there, you can use forScore’s tools to make fine-tuned adjustments as needed to get each page looking its best, and use its layout functions to rearrange, rotate, crop, or remove pages. Whether you’re converting everything in your piano bench or adding a last-minute revision to your library, Scan is ready for anything. All of your music, none of the weight.
