Ten

July 2016

After six years of rapid development forScore's version number rolled over to ten and our release cycle changed, but in name only. We started tackling more and more big features and enhancements with our point releases—it may have been called version 10.3 or 10.4, but each of these 'minor' updates was just as jam-packed as any major update that had come before it.

We continued to build out our support for Apple Pencil with the introduction of Instant Annotation (allowing users to mark up their scores without entering or exiting annotation mode) and powerful new settings for controlling how forScore's annotation system and tools work. We added support for annotation layers, and we introduced the ruler and selection annotation tools.

We were incredibly proud to be able to partner with Musicnotes to let musicians download their purchases as standard PDF files. It opened up a world of content to our users and our Content Provider program continues today with enthusiastic support from both our publishers and our users.

But the biggest part of forScore 10's story is Drag and Drop. Introduced with iOS 11, Drag and Drop offered a new way of interacting with virtually anything. We not only adopted it on day one, we debuted it with perhaps the broadest support of any app on the App Store. It totally revolutionized the experience of using an iPad and we were proud to have gone all-in right from the start.

Over the course of three years, forScore 10 brought improvements like an all-new audio engine (allowing users to independently adjust a track's pitch and speed), setlist folders, Templates, Filters, CSV indexes, automation support, page de-skewing, Dual Page Mode, broad support for keyboard commands, tighter integration with the Files app, and much much more.
