## What is BrightStaves Viewer?

BrightStaves Viewer is a focused PDF sheet music reader for iPad, built for rehearsals, church services, concerts, and serious practice.

It gives musicians more than a standard PDF viewer: clear score display, fast page navigation, rehearsal marks, repeats, annotations, set lists, pitch reference, metronome, timer, and AirTurn pedal support.

PREPARE YOUR SCORE

Crop margins, enlarge the music, choose half-page, full-page, or two-page view, and save display settings for each piece.

MARK YOUR MUSIC

Add expression marks, dynamics, tempo indications, articulation, highlights, drawings, rehearsal marks, sections, title, composer, copyright notes, and other custom information.

NAVIGATE LIKE A MUSICIAN

Jump quickly by pages, thumbnails, sections, rehearsal marks, and custom transitions. Set up Repeats, Segno, Da Capo, and other jumps directly inside the PDF score.

BUILD REHEARSAL AND CONCERT LISTS

Arrange pieces in the exact order you need. Use full PDF files or selected page ranges from larger collections. Each piece keeps its own markings and PitchAid settings.

SHARE THE INTERPRETATION

Send lists and markings to other musicians so everyone works from the same rehearsal plan. Only markup is transferred — PDF files are not copied.

USE PRACTICAL REHEARSAL TOOLS

PitchAid works as a digital pitch pipe. The built-in metronome, stopwatch, and timer help you keep tempo, check duration, and manage rehearsal time.

BrightStaves Viewer is designed for choir conductors, singers, instrumentalists, church musicians, ensembles, teachers, and music publishers who work seriously with PDF sheet music.
