Best music notation software 2022
Orpheus Sheet Music Pro (opens in new tab) If you prefer to use Android hardware, Orpheus is the best sheet music app on that OS.

  • 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.
