The third part of my forScore mini series where I dive deep into specific features of forScore, my favorite app for reading music on the iPad. In this video I cover all of the functional tools forScore offers and show you a day in the life with how I use them. ForScore has everything you need to optimize your workflow as a musician.
I show you a wide variety of the functional tools in forScore: Display Mode (1 or 2 pages in Landscape, or full- or half-page turns in Portrait), Pairing Audio (attaching an audio, and changing the speed, changing the key, or looping), Metronome, Tuner, Piano, Buttons, and Cues. I walk you through some of my favorite settings to maximize your workflow. I also demonstrate Gestures, which are like shortcuts on a computer and are the true power of forScore.
Don’t forget to check out my other videos diving deeper into other specific topics, such as:
forScore Playlist:
• forScore My Setup - • forScore: my Story and...
All About Annotation - • Make the Most of Annot...
Staying Organized - • forScore: Optimal Orga...

So dang cool I searched for how to do something in Forscore and one of my college classmates is the top result. Great job. I didn't see my particular issue, rotating a score 90 degrees (someone scanned the PDF oddly). Turns out you pointing me towards the toolbox had me poke around until I found the rotation under "Rearrange". Still a fantastic video and I learned plenty.

This was a great video. I picked up many ideas. I do have a question for you. It has to do with attaching Apple Music files to forScore. It doesn't work anymore. Suggestions for a workaround? Thanks and keep up the great videos!

@Josh-Ring 5 ай бұрын

Hmm... That is a mystery. When I tap on my + icon (when in the Audio pane of the Properties panel), it still opens up Apple Music for me. Could it be something with your Apple Music? Or if you have the mp3's, you could use the icon to the right of the + (the icon looks like a paper with a small + on it) to add the file to your forScore file once you've added it (shared it) to forScore. Would that work?

Yes! Here's a link to learn more: forscore.co/kb/replay/ Setup your "Replay Mode" (the curving single arrow button with a paired audio file) to set where the page turns are with the audio file, and in the future it will automatically scroll when playing that audio!

Hello Mr Ring, thanks for all these awesome tips and tricks! Do you know of a good tuner overlay app? I like the ForScore tuner but I can’t seem to move it or undock or even make it smaller. I’m a trumpet player and each note can have its own challenges.

@Josh-Ring 3 ай бұрын

As a brass player too, I completely understand and symphatize. I don't have a specific one I love more than any other. Here's a list of some good ones you might try: www.soundbrenner.com/blog/keep-your-groove-in-tune-5-best-tuning-apps/ I personally use a tuner on my phone so forScore can be all sheet music when needing that.

Actually, I just found this one. You may like this one for the instant feedback and you can see your deviation in real time, but it may be a bit annoying for how constant it moves around... apps.apple.com/us/app/tuner-t1/id453056916

Hi. Thanks for the vids. Is it possible to continuously notate a score while turning pages ? I want to annotate music as I’m listening to my students sing songs with multiple pages. I can’t seem to do this. Thanks.

@Josh-Ring 5 ай бұрын

Yes! It's not the most intuitive and takes a second longer than regular page turns, but it is possible. While in annotation mode, in the top right of the annotation bar, there is a Left arrow , and the check mark to indicate you're finished. Those < and > symbols are to turn the page left or right. Hope that helps!

Thanks Josh for walking through your settings. I've changed most of mine to align to your experience. I am having one problem. If you can assist, I would appreciate it. When I open a score and tap in the center, the Control Panel (showing blue icons for Scores, Bookmarks, Set lists, Search, Audio utilities, and tools) "should" appear. It does not appear on mine. It did appear, but no more and I am mystified. What I see, rather than the Control Panel, is in the upper right corner a blue square with a vertical line going through the square. The name of the score is to the right of the blue square. If I tap on the blue square, two panels from the left appear. One panel is My Library, and the second is Now Playing. In the My Library panel, there is ellipse in a circle, and tapping on it reveals Libraries, Refresh, Dashboard, Backup, Synch, Support, and Settings. I used Setting to make my changes align with yours. On this blue square page, there are two icons on the top right side. One is a down arrow in a circle and the second is a gear icon. When the down arrow is tapped, six options appear (New window, Annotate, Links, Buttons, Rearrange, and Crop). The gear icon shows display mode and options. The Control Panel has evaporated. Do you have a clue on how I can restore the Control Panel? Thank you.

Hi Josh, you were kind enough to help me and I submitted my question to foreshore tech support. Here’s what they said. I followed their recommendation and all is good. ‘It sounds like you are viewing a secondary app window. To close the window, tap the three dots at the top center of the screen and choose Close Window, or swipe the window away in multitasking mode, then tap the forScore app icon again to open the primary window.

The main Tool Bar is not available on my Ipad....I have a revised Tool Bar that does not include many of the features of the Main Tool Bar....How do I get the right Tool Bar?

@Josh-Ring 4 ай бұрын

It sounds like you might have a second window open in forScore, and you're currently only viewing that secondary window. On your iPad, at the very top center of the screen, do you see three horizontal dots? Tap those, and at the bottom of the screen you should now see a few rectangle boxes, with the right most one being "New Window" with a "+" sign in it. If you have accidentally tapped on the "+" before, you'll have more than two boxes. To close any secondary windows you can either tap and hold on a box and swipe up until the box floats away, or you can close out the app (restart the app) and it will only open with the primary window. forscore.co/kb/using-multiple-windows/ Hope that helps!

Hi! I have one question. I’m new with this app. I was using the piano keyboard feature and at one point the sound somehow changed to like a mellow synth sound, which I liked, but for the life of me I can’t find the control that switched the sound of the piano!! Driving me nuts!!! Do you know the answer to this riddle??? Where is the option to change the sound of the piano? I did it accidentally and don’t know how it happened!! Thank you!!

@Josh-Ring 2 ай бұрын

Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you. Is it still doing it? Unfortunately I’ve been looking and I can’t find anywhere how to change the sound! I even messed with changing the sound of the pitch pipe, but that didn’t change the piano keyboard sound…

@@Josh-Ring nope! It changed to the sound of the tuner, a really nice pure sound. Happened twice. Then somehow it went back to piano. I did find in a google search that there’s supposed to be the same “gear” symbol to click on for the same options as the tuner or pitch pipe, supposed to be located on bottom right corner of screen. But the gear on the piano tool doesn’t show those options

how do I rotate a page of music that is upside down?

@Josh-Ring 3 ай бұрын

Go to Settings (top right corner of the screen), then tap on Rearrange. From there, you can rotate either an individual page or the entire score. To rotate the entire score, the bottom left of the screen has two boxes with arrows rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise. Tap those to rotate all the pages at once. If it's just individual pages that are the problem, you can rotate just those pages by tapping the clockwise circular arrow underneath each page shown in the Rearrange page. forscore.co/documentation/rearrange/#:~:text=While%20viewing%20the%20score%20you,to%20split%20up%20large%20files).

@4:11 I show how to pair an audio recording to a particular score. If you need create your own recording, I often just use the Voice Memos app. Once you've created it, you can share that recording with forScore and then pair it as I show in the video. Does that help?

@@lisahansen6014 Gotcha! In that case, what you could do is use Notes. Go to Settings, then Advanced Options (very close to the bottom), and then at the very bottom is Notes. Turn that ON. Then you should be able to paste a KZfaq link there. It's not a perfect system, but it would at least allow you to Copy/Paste a saved KZfaq link from a score. Personally, you might create a Playlist on KZfaq that you could reference all the pieces you're working on currently.
