Henle Library

Yep its nice

I liked it very much

Please add traditional Chinese to respect Hong Kong and Taiwanese users. There is only simplified Chinese now.

Good app for using as e-score in iPad. Easy to edit and annotated. Point system for buying score is a discounted result. It is worth for get this app for only using in iPad. However, pdf exported from app is a low dpi version, blur and not clear image. And the most worst part is that AirPrint is not worked as they said, printed result in wrong image because of the layering structured exporting pdf, which need to be a flattened pdf file that exported to cloud and using pdf software to do so. And this issue is still not fixed here and now.

Is good to finally have an app for music score, But it need to be able to let user choose what language they want, it display to me in simplified Chinese, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan do NOT use simplified Chinese.. Let user choose what they use. N although is just started, but the app seriously need more music

I consistently have problems opening scores that I’ve purchased, scores disappear all the time. Very buggy. Such a shame since the concept is so lovely.

[update to previous review] After some delay I finally got the credits I purchased last year and could begin test the app. Thank you Henle support for getting my issue resolved—and thank you for the extra credits! ***** The good stuff ***** The app is very smooth and responsive and (after a short learning curve) easy and intuitive to navigate. Scores are legible and the ability to annotate without a physical pencil is amazing. (If only we had this 40 years ago!) Based on the urtext complete Beethoven quartets the cost is very competitive with printed scores: $64 for the set vs. $153 from Amazon—almost a 60% discount. And you don’t need to lug a backpack full of scores around. ***** Not-so-good/needs work ***** Scores are scans of printed editions sliced into staves, not digital vectors. This has some knock-on effects: Supported zoom levels appear to be limited (via SCORE SETTINGS > Stave Spacing). Changing orientation to landscape shows a higher resolution rendition, but only 1-2 staves vs. 4-5 in portrait. You will want the largest tablet screen you can get. Print quality is … terrible. The score images (printed on a 600 DPI PostScript laser printer) suffer from severe aliasing and are pretty much useless. If you need hard copy buy the excellent printed edition. But then you’ll need to transcribe all your annotations by hand. And get a fat backpack to lug the paper. ***** Summary ***** If you need to schlep a large collection of scores around the campus and don’t have the budget of the Hamilton production this app is made for you. The annotation capabilities will be an invaluable layer of frosting on your cake. If you cherish high-quality musical typography and need paper scores the Henle app will disappoint.

Implementation is barely there. I feel like there is no organization in my library. The search function for the Henle store especially is straight up to find any score it’s a straight up nightmare. Why can’t I zoom into the score?

U can’t write on top or bottom of the page because their writing menus block those areas. Absolutely ridiculous

Search function doesn’t work well. Your files don’t load right away so if you have a minute to play piano it’ll take 10 minutes before the app “remembers” what songs you purchased really terrible experience. Edit: the developer says there is a problem with the app. Yes I agree but it is not an installation problem, it is a problem with the app. Buy the PDFs separately, or use a different app, but don’t count on your music to show up right away.
