Desde hace meses aparecen páginas en blanco. No fiable para interpretar
Tras muchos años de uso en dispositivos antiguos me encuentro que, al pasar de página, muchas veces aparece la página en blanco y solo se muestra si cambias las opciones de visualización. Ocurre de manera muy frecuente lo que hace que no pueda usar la aplicación en la interpretación.
Es inaceptable que teniendo una biblioteca de partituras no pueda hacer un uso real de las mismas. La falta de fiabilidad me hace optar por escanear mis partituras en papel e importarlas a app de gestión de PDF que no dan estos problemas. Henle no está a la altura en edición digital.
After buying 100 of scores and spending more than thousand euros , the app crushed
Disastrous app. Slow, clumsy and terribly expensive. Years of annotations disappeared. Cannot even open the app now , it crushes immediately.
Hope one day to recover at least the scores.
Ladrones
Hace unas fechas compré unas partituras. Se hizo un cargo a mi tarjeta y ni rastro de la descarga ni rastro de un justificante de la compra. Ahora he ido a actualizar unas digitaciones de otras partituras y en el momento que lo intentas la partitura deja de estar disponible. Un atraco a mano armada! Evitad esta aplicación al 100%.
Falla, lenta, cara...
La llevo usando meses, tanto para conciertos como para grabaciones, así que sé lo que me digo: hablo desde la experiencia.
No está mal para un uso muy, muy básico, pero si uno quiere empezar a anotar cosas, es una desesperación con el poco intuitivo sistema de escritura y borrado que tiene.
Al pasar página con un pedal bluetooth tiene un pequeño retraso, suficiente para desconcentrar.
Cuando vuelves a abrir una partitura se abre por la página que le da la gana.
Tiene poquísimas opciones de edición y personalización.
Y el colmo de los colmos: las anotaciones se guardan cuando le da la gana a la app. La frustración que he tenido cuando se me han borrado anotaciones de todo un día de trabajo no tiene nombre...
Ah, y no entremos en que las partituras cuestan casi lo mismo que en papel: un robo.
O mejora mucho (muchísimo), o forScore seguirá siendo mi opción predilecta. Un timo en muchísimos aspectos
Not working !
Cannot access 20 scores I bought! 👿
Good enough
Just two inconveniences:
1.- The selection of the free score must be fixed or at least modified. I pressed by a error one of them and I wanted to select other, now I cannot change the selection.
2.- The editor of adding pp, ff and therefore does not appear when I tap the screen so please fix it.
Partituras muy caras y pagar en créditos es confuso.
Una partitura cuesta 70 Créditos. 100 créditos te cuestan 9€, por lo que una partitura digital de únicamente violín te cuesta unos 8€. Si has de comprar las partitas de bach ya puedes preparar mucho dinero. Lo veo muy caro. Creo que las partituras podrían ser más baratas. No me gusta que pongan el precio en créditos. Acabas loco calculando. Que pongan cuanto cuesta cada partitura en EUROS.
So disappointing
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.
The sound of silence
[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.
Henle scores are good, but this app is terrible.
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?
