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. It doesn’t have as many organization and file import features as forScore, but the interface is easy to use and includes an annotation tool. There’s a free version that displays ads and limits chart uploads to 30 total. Orpheus has support for...

  • Tonelib Jam is on sale and can open CLDC files, edit notes and has the same 3D-note-highway as Rocksmith
    The software Tonelib JAM is an alternative to Rocksmith and is on sale right now (50% off). You can load psarc-files (CLDCs) into the software and have the notes charted as tab, notes or 3D synced to the backing track. Software can also be used for FREE even after the 30 day trial you can still use the software. You just have to wait 15s until you can use the software (similar to Reaper after the trial period).

  • [QUESTION] Is attempting songs way outside my skill level a good way to learn?
    Not the user you replied to, but I found ToneLib Jam to be what I wanted. You can try it indefinitely but it has an annoying window that pops up when you start it telling you to buy it. I waited until they had a sale and got it 50% off. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Guitar beginner trying to use rs2014 to learn/practice.. questions.
    Note detection is bad on RS, active instruments make this worse, tone controls need to be zeroed out. RS is horrid for learning music, id suggest you download Tone-LIB Jam for free and use it to learn songs. Audio exclusivity is required by the Wise audio in RS btw. Source: over 1 year ago

  • 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.
