forScore

Several user have been reporting, that they disappear. For years. Me to. Dont write text or verses. Page turning with your mouth doesn’t work for me, pages are turning when they shouldn’t or not at all. I have tried everything, sensibility and so on.

Synchronizing is not possible if you have Dropbox, Google Drive or other services. I am paying for “further development “, but the least their support could do would be to mention the lack of synchronizing possibilities. Page turning with your mouth doesn’t work for me, pages are turning when they shouldn’t or not at all. I have tried everything, sensibility and so on. Sometimes it helped turning the iPad upside down, but then problems arised again. Scanning only works in color. The files uses much more space than greyscale, and you don’t need color for normal music. Still, you have to change every single scan into greyscale. Oh, and be prepared to use a lot of time learning how to use the app. YouTube videos from other users can be helpful.

The synchronization between devices is so buggy and unreliable. It constantly turns off the synchronization (without notifying the user about the deactivation), it makes multiple copies of identical playlists, it makes the whole app slower when syncing (which it does even if you don’t make any changes)… When reporting bugs, the support either doesn’t care, and if they answer back, it is normally in a very arrogant matter. “Signal” also doesn’t work properly.. and WHY CAN’T I RESTRICT WHAT I SHARE??? I don’t want my students and colleagues to be able to receive certain files.. however if I want to connect to my secondary iPad, all other persons in the nearby can join in, and “steal” the file! Also some files contain both score and all parts in one file – when playing together with others, I would like to only share ONE particular part! NOT THE WHOLE PIECE!!!!! Again: HALF MADE AMATEUR PROGRAMMING!!! I used to recommend this app to my fellow musicians, however the app has not fixed old bugs, and the interface hasn’t been improved significantly since the the app saw the light of day… it has a lot of nice features – but the feature seems “half made” and are full of bugs and bad UI. It is a pain in the b..t to find recordings you’ve made, rename and batch workflows are poorly made. Search engine is running slow and doesn’t show files between libraries… forScore stops the playback of sound clips if you leave the app, and navigating between multiple recordings connected to one document is so tedious.. creating buttons in the score to control playback for rehearsal purposes, are not advanced enough so even though it has a (very limited) functionality, it is just way too tedious to use .. I could keep on the list… With new apps for scores appearing, forScore

So useful with good sorting possibilities and lots of other things. I miss a couple of things: Since I notate a lot, I wish the app could help getting the writing smoother, as in some drawing apps. E.g. as when the built in apple notes app straightens a line for you when you hold the pencil still after drawing it. And. When trying to play a song from Apple Music I get the message “ Denne sang kan ikke spilles pga. de uloste problemer med systemets musikafspiller pà denne version af iOS.” This has been a problem for quite a while - as in years - now. But other 3rd party apps can certainly play Apple Music songs - this should certainly be possible to fix.

Great app !! But, we really really need a setting to remember last page seen !!!! When one jumps between a full score and a part it gets extremely frustrating to always go back to the first page !

The way you edit existing metadata could be a lot more intuitive and easier. For instance if you want to edit keywords for more than one item. It isn’t useful to have an empty text field! When dragging in program lists, the “drag” often doesn’t complete. Syncing between multiple devices doesn’t always work, and gives non-useful error messages or the sync simply just turns off for some reason without notifying the user. Renaming recordings is a pain! Sharing the recordings is just as tedious! Placeholders in program lists and note-buttons should be able to contain line-breaks, and should be editable – right now the user has to retype the whole thing……. 🤦‍♂️

New version so slow

Hvordan finder man den Danske version?

I simply love the app, but I would like one change. As a conductor of a choir, I often take out the piano to give the notes for the next piece. However, when I close the piano, I am still in the menu view, and I have to press the middle of the screen to get the full screen view. Could you make it a setting that if you don’t want to return to the view with the menu on top, but instead return to the full screen view? It could be a toggle in the settings….
