• Ask HN: What sub $200 product improved your 2023

  Https://forscore.co/ iPad pdf reader & annotator designed for sheet music. As a “tech” husband helping out a non technical musician wife it’s a game changer. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Best way to view a pdf of sheet music on a phone/tablet?

  ForScore is pretty well regarded. I use a free app called PiaScore that will show me two pages at once - my eyes suck though, so the tab is a bit small - might be okay for you though. I actually ended up buying a cheap Donner page turner that works pretty well with PiaScore and PDF Expert (which is my main pdf reader - but I don't think it lets me see two pages at once).

• Thoughts for Year One self-taught Pianists - ideas and resources (long!)

  ForScore also has a keyboard in it so you can quickly play some notes anywhere, and so does GarageBand on iPad. Source: 12 months ago

• What are your must-have iPad apps?

  ForScore. That is why I, like many of my colleagues, bought the iPad. Source: about 1 year ago

• This is how I would reconstruct the iPad lineup to make it simpler and easier to understand. Thoughts?

  Yes. I once considered the Surface Book among other options (at the time it had a bigger screen than the Surface Pro). And by the way, Apple also cares about musicians. As evidenced by the official advertising banners and videos, in which you can always see the application forScore, which has become almost a de facto standard for many musicians.

• Music theory/helper apps?

  I also recently downloaded MuseScore. While I'm not a sight reader, and haven't actually used musical notation in a long time, I think being able to write into staves & preview/export MIDI (or, import & edit MIDI) will be really helpful, and it seems to be used by the Musition courses.

• is a laptop keyboard good enough?

  Musescore helps people write sheet music. Since notes on a piece of paper form shapes, we might consider that as a visual representation of music. Source: about 1 year ago

• A stupid post for the sheer number of pianists who are sad that Musecore is no longer free please ignore/ re: "Musecore isn't free anymore?!?!"

  What the f are you talking about? Musescore has always been and always will be free: https://musescore.org/en. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a transcription of this?

  Use MuseScore (which is free!) to write it out and transpose it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Making flute parts from vocals for songs I like

  3) Outline the song in Musescore notation software, putting in just the chords to begin with. I set up the score with flute as the only instrument, so that when I hit 'play' in Audacity, it sounds just like a flute. Source: about 1 year ago
