We’re happy to announce the release of forScore version 2.2. This update brings several great new features, while also fixing bugs and improving overall stability. We’ve added new features like Page Peek, which lets you preview scores from the main menu by tapping and holding them, and also shows you a preview thumbnail of the destination page while using the skip-to-page bar.
The all-new annotation snapshots feature let you create and restore from up to 24 different saved states, while the redesigned page notes feature is now much more prominent and accessible, allowing you to take notes without necessarily needing them to be visible right on the page at all times.
Here’s the full list of updates:
• Tap and hold any score in the menu to preview it
• See a thumbnail of the destination page while using the skip-to-page bar
• Backup and restore from multiple annotation snapshots
• Redesigned page notes, score title now ends with an asterisk if any page notes exist
• Adds a rotation setting for VGA Output
• Allows file deletion from search results
• Backup/Restore function now has the option to include settings
• Backup file email and import
• Setlists no longer ignore “Flip Between Scores” setting
• File/Bookmark metadata control now disappears properly when choosing audio tracks
• Bluetooth share button now disappears and appears appropriately
• Bug Fixes
Version 2.2 is available for just $4.99, or free for all existing users.

Citing production delays, AirTurn today announced that they are expecting to begin taking orders for the BT-105 Bluetooth page turner this Friday, November 19th, instead of today as originally planned. According to AirTurn, the BT-105 will ship beginning Monday, the 22nd.
Even at this stage, without any orders having been taken, it appears as though demand for the BT-105 will be extraordinary, so be sure to check back in this Friday morning to get your order in early!

With the upcoming release of iOS 4.2, we wanted to take a moment to talk about our next update, forScore 2.1. This update, which we submitted to Apple for approval last week, is fully tested and compatible with iOS 4.2.
This update also adds support for AirPrint, which allows you to print files directly from your iPad to an AirPrint-compatible printer. You can choose to either print the original PDF file itself, or you can print a series of screenshots that also include your annotations.
Version 2.1 also adds new features like the ability to duplicate setlists, includes new stamps for guitarists, and further refines many of the dozens of features that were introduced in forScore 2.
We don’t have exact timing for the release of forScore 2.1 and iOS 4.2, but we’re expecting both of these updates to be available very soon.
Update: Apple appears to have removed the ability for AirPrint to utilize shared printers connected to Macs running 10.6.5 or PCs with iTunes 10.1. We are obviously disappointed that this feature will no longer be available for the vast majority of our users and hope that Apple has postponed it instead of canceling it entirely. Until Apple chooses to notify us about this change, the status of AirPrint is purely speculative, but we’ll update this article as soon as new information becomes available.
