7.3

March 11, 2024

Our music scientists have proposed a new hypothesis: they suspect the tritone substitution could be a quantum mechanical tunnel in the circle of fifths (Of course only if the circle of fifths is not flat but round).  While we're reviewing this, we've made the following improvements to Calypso Score: - the song creation assistant has a new button to bisect pages horizontally or vertically. Very useful for double-paged scans. - new settings option: Each songbook has its own sorting for the song lists - all annotations of a specific type or any type can be deleted at once - fixed: vanishing annotations in the New Bob Book - of course, we also fixed other bugs

7.2

December 20, 2023

You can now install Calypso Score for free and test it for 14 days without restrictions. This is a great opportunity to get to know the many possibilities. - A new outstanding feature is the transposable New Bob Book, a fake book with 666 songs that guitarist Bob Roetker has made freely available. It allows you to transpose any of its 666 songs into any key - melody and chords, in excellent readable quality! You can download it for free. - you can now assign multiple color labels to a song - Improved compatibility with iOS 17: the PDF scanner now works again and is also available in song edit mode. - minor bugs corrected Merry Christmas

7.1.1

June 20, 2023

Research into nano tonality showed that even intervals could not be infinitely small. The most minor possible interval we named after an important physicist as the Planck interval. Separately, we developed a scanner for document management in Calypso. The scanner automatically recognizes your sheet music in the iPad camera and crops the photos accordingly. A filter then optimizes the contrast and at the same time the memory requirement. And finally, a multi-page PDF is generated from all edited photos. Improvements: - When importing setlists, existing setlists are no longer deleted - New option to delete all setlists - Improved csv import for your own fakebooks. The separator of the different fields is now recognized automatically. - Improved page turner recognition for iOS +14 Bug fixes: - Shéet music photographed with the camera were sometimes rotated by 90°. - Fixed a crash when using the metronome as a count-in - Crash when exporting an audio file with playback parameters - Crash when exporting a song with a '/' in the song title - Very rare crash when playing audio files Many more bug fixes and optimizations.

While researching microtonality, which is so important for modern musicians, our musicologists have succeeded in penetrating into nanotonality. We will publish further research results here shortly. Separately, we developed a scanner for the document management in Calypso. The scanner automatically recognizes your sheet music in the iPad camera and crops the photos accordingly. A filter then optimizes the contrast and at the same time the memory requirement. And finally, a multi-page PDF is generated from all edited photos.

7.0.2

December 17, 2022

Version 7 has powerful new features and improvements to all aspects of the app. Key enhancements include: • NEW! Half-Page Turning: Powerful automated page turning was already available with our Auto-Layout feature, but the new Half-Page Turning feature offers an alternative way to set up your scores for performance.

Half-Page Turning is also enabled in Fakebooks in addition to Songbooks. Check out our three new video tutorials to learn more about this feature. Users who have previewed this feature think it’s a game changer in music reading apps. • NEW! Tuner tool: Available in the Recital toolbar. The button can be hidden in Settings • NEW! Advanced audio engine: Improves stability and quality of attached recordings and the embedded keyboard. Add your own sound libraries to the keyboard using freely available SoundFonts (.sf2 files) • Pitch and tempo settings for audio files are now included in exports • Audio can be sent to Airplay directly from the Recordings Manager • Settings have been reorganized to improve ease of use • Apple Pencil integration has been updated to improve the feel when drawing; double tap with Apple Pencil toggles Draw and Erase modes • Improved selection of annotation symbols • Option to delete all unused songbook songs (i.e., songs that are not assigned to a songbook) to reduce the size of your database file • 19 new fakebook indexes • Many other improvements! • compatible with iPadOS 16.1 Calypso now requires iOS 13 or greater. v 7.0.2 - fixed an annoying bug where the music score would occasionally disappear when swiping down - the slider for the trigger level in the acoustic starter is more responsive

Calypso Score is a feature-rich digital sheet music app for the iPad that lets musicians manage their scores in a way that was never possible with paper.

Calypso Score also provides unique features for navigating through multi-page scores and powerful, easy-to-use tools for organizing and annotating your entire digital library.

Reviews of Calypso Score

  • Beats lugging books around

    I’ve been using Calypso for over ten years, I think. As an amateur musician who plays flute, soprano, alto, and tenor, Calypso has enabled me to easily choose different fake book pages from various books and form a singular customized volume. Each of the titled tunes is color coded to represent the instrument to be used for that song. Like all great software, there are features that I don’t take advantage of, but the quality of the design keeps me happy with the functions I rely upon. Clearly designed by musicians for musicians, not by some investment group with disinterested developers.

    Love the new scanning functionality! Thanks, Ziggy.

  • Calypso is great!

    I use this program all the time. I have books for all the bands I play with, Fakebooks (some of my own creation), and exercise books. With a 12.0” iPad I can read two pages in horizontal orientation very clearly. Sometimes I use Calypso’s built-in page turn feature, and sometimes I use a Bluetooth page turner.
    The songbook and setlist features are perfect for how I organize my music, and they ability to search all the fakebooks for the songs I need is valuable. Wonderful program!
