We’re happy to announce the release of forScore 14.1, the latest major update to our sheet music reading app for iPad, iPhone, and Mac. This version includes an all-new interactive pitch pipe widget, displays up to five pages side-by-side in landscape window sizes, adds the ability to share files securely and for a limited time, introduces button labels, and more.
Thanks as always to our beta testers, and to all of you for continuing to support forScore and allowing us to keep providing significant free updates like this.
Available now for iPad, iPhone, and Mac
Today we released a few updates, including Onyx 4.1 which introduces an all-new interactive widget for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS 14 Sonoma. Much like the legacy Today View widget, it features a grid of buttons that lets you hear a note with just a tap. Unlike the old version, however, this widget can be used on the home screen, Today View, iPhone StandBy, iPad lock screen, and Mac desktop. It supports the three most common widget sizes so you can put it wherever you like.
We also just released Cue 2.1 which improves Dual Page mode when running beside forScore 14.1 (due for release early next week) by adding support for custom button/link accessibility sizes and forScore’s new button labels feature. Finally, we released TuneWave 2.0.2 which optimizes its shortcut widget for iPadOS 17.
These updates are free and all available now for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS, so be sure to check them out today!
Our latest major update to forScore is coming this fall, and today we’re unveiling a few of the new features and improvements you can expect to see. Version 14.1 allows you to view up to five pages side-by-side, introduces an all-new pitch pipe widget, makes it easier to share sensitive files, enhances buttons with labels and more functionality, revamps the setlist editor for a better experience in compact layouts, and more.
forScore 14.1 will be released later this year, but you can try it out for yourself today by becoming a beta tester. Otherwise, be sure to check back soon as we put the final touches on this incredible update.
forScore 14.1 Sneak Peek
Last week Justin sat down with Charlie Chapman to discuss forScore’s origin and the experience of building and maintaining an app that has become an incredible success story and is used by so many musicians all over the world.

As recent events have shown, running a business as an independent app developer is a risk when your product depends on third parties—whether that’s a service or an app store gatekeeper like Apple. Nothing is certain, so it’s important to celebrate your successes and share the joy of having created something good.
In that spirit, today we’re happy to announce that we’re opening a gear shop to sell forScore-branded merchandise for a limited time. Most of these products are print-on-demand, so the profit margins are slim and the quality may vary, but we’re primarily doing this to commemorate forScore, not to make money.
Thank you to everyone who has supported forScore over the past thirteen years and counting, it’s an incredible privilege to be able to work on it every day. We hope you enjoy these mementos and that they might brighten your day just a little bit.
