#ForScore

2025-06-10

Musician friends, does this happen to you? You AirDrop a new version of a score into ForScore @forscore but keep getting incremental duplicates instead of an option to overwrite your existing score? This has baffled me for a long time -- but now I think I've figured out a solution that works for me -- see here:

@danfairs It's the Nashville number's system, and I use an app called 1Chart to create my charts, after which I drop them into #ForScore

Hallo Leute,

gibt es für Linux auch einen Sheet Reader, eine Notensoftware, mit der man seine Musiknoten ähnlich wie bei iOS #Forscore oder #MobileSheets anzeigen lassen kann. Ich spiele mit dem Gedanken mir dafür ein Tablet anzuschaffen, habe aber keine Lust mit Android oder MS Windows dann nach drei Jahren festzustellen, dass das Tablet keine Updates mehr für das OS erhält. Es muss doch da auch was für Linux geben.

Feature in #ForScore I just started using because OMG: pulling up a chart can send midi program change messages, AND you can create buttons to send them too! On the right is the control surface I created using an app called Loopy Pro. This is great on the fly, but when we play certain songs and you need *that* sound, it's amazing to have the rig switch to the right sound, or be able to fire that sound when you need it with the button!

forScore 14.4

Check out the list of features in forScore 14.4. As usual, I am exited about the automation. Automation is becoming increasingly popular, and forScore lets you do a lot using the Shortcuts app. With forScore 14.4, we’ve added dozens of new actions for working with metadata, setlist entries, duplicating items and setlists, cropping, and more. Between this and family sharing, forScore 14.4 is looking to be a great update.

Post- meniscus surgery knee icing seemed like a good time to do some Beatles score study in #applevisionpro and #forscore

Looking at this photo and reflecting back to our early October performance of Feldman's "Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello" at the @ny_studioschool with @triofadolin and @dantepfer -- I wrote a post about a technology fail we experienced --

Rhythm section rehearsal yesterday with my bandmates... 5hrs going over two separate sets of material we'll be performing in Mexico over the next two weeks. Clutch, as always, was #ForScore...

Wondered how the pages on my bass player's iPad were switching in time with the music...

HE WAS USING FACIAL EXPRESSIONS TO TURN THE PAGES

@ambulephabus you *genius bastard*

Just played the last piece in playlist I had in #forscore on #piano, only to realize its not the last of Chopin’s Ballades — I guess that’s why it didn’t sound like it… Oops, I guess I should have organized those differently…

@joel Certainly! I'm using Anytune Pro+ on the left of the iPad, which is the most incredible tool for slowing down and manipulating audio for practice; and on the right we have the industry standard #ForScore for organizing my charts, made by the indomitable @ambulephabus !

The guitar sound is coming from the amp in the room, no connection to the iPad ;)

Just had a comment on my iPad score reader article asking about score readers that scroll vertically. Upon further searching, I found that this is not available on any of my top picks. (It is on PiaScore, and I think maybe MobileSheets.)

The article has been up for 4.5 years and it's the first time anyone has asked for this. Is that a normal thing? #iPadMusic #forScore #newzik

Was the layer name always here, or is this a new #forScore 14 feature? I love it either way!

I get a “thank you” comment almost every week on this video about moving a #forScore library to a new device. I’m considering a summer project to record a video course on forScore. It does so much stuff that I think a lot of people only barely know about. youtu.be/qaKHKjBA22Q

Finished the #DrumKit #PageTurner (mark2). A portable #electronic device to allow my band’s drummer to turn pages in #ForScore on his iPad, with either his foot or via a drum pad from his electric kit plugged into the Jack socket. Also turns pages back by holding down the footswitch or by hitting the rim of the drum pad.

A small rectangular shaped aluminium box with switches and a blue LED sits on a wooden surface.
