## What is ScoreLens?

Photograph a page of printed sheet music and hear it played on your instrument. Or import a PDF part, pick the pages, and hear it played. Slow it down, loop the hard bars, and move it into the key you need.

ScoreLens is a sheet music scanner made for practice. It reads single-line parts: a violin etude, a clarinet part, a choir line, a page from a method book. A cursor follows the notes as it plays, so you can hear a new piece before you learn it, or check the rhythm you're not sure of.

PRACTICE TOOLS, FREE
• Hear the part on violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, alto or tenor sax, trumpet, horn, trombone, guitar, piano, or a piano guide for singers
• Set the tempo in BPM or as a percentage, with a count-in and a click that follows the slower speed
• Tap a measure to start there; hold and drag to loop a passage
• Tempo, key, instrument and loop are remembered for each piece
• Scan or import several pages and play them straight through; the page turns with the music
• Practise a piece 3 days in a row and get a day of Pro on us

TRANSPOSE AND READ IN THE NEW KEY
• Move the part into another key and see it re-engraved; the key is named, so you don't count semitones
• Bb, Eb and F instruments: choose written or concert pitch ("A major · sounds G")
• Alto and tenor clef for viola, cello and trombone
• Print the transposed part as a PDF, free

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT READ
Recognition is good on clean printed parts, but it is not perfect. When a measure doesn't add up, a small dot marks it. Tap the dot to hear that bar on a loop and compare it with your photo. Where the app has other likely rhythms for the bar, it plays them one after another and you keep the one that sounds right. "Report a bad result" sends the page to me, and that is how the recognition gets better.

SHARE A PART WITH STUDENTS
Send a practice track: a short audio file at your tempo and key, with a link, ready for a text or WhatsApp message. Or share the whole part as a link that plays in any web browser, or opens in ScoreLens, for 30 days; stop sharing at any time. Either way you confirm you have the right to share the piece first, and only the notes go out, never your photo. Opening a shared part doesn't use the recipient's free pages. Teachers: write to us for a teacher code that gives your students 30 days of Pro.

PAGES WITH SEVERAL STAVES
Pick your part, make it louder than the others, or play it on its own.

WHAT IT WON'T DO
Better to know now than after you download it:
• Piano music for two hands, and two voices on one staff, won't come out right. It is built for one melody per staff.
• Handwritten manuscript and tablature aren't supported
• Reading a new page needs an internet connection
• Check the result against the page before you learn from it

FREE AND PRO
Free to try: your first pages are free, with everything above: playback, tempo, loop, count-in, click, transposition, fixing a bar by ear, sharing and the transposed PDF.
Pro: unlimited pages; MIDI and MusicXML export for MuseScore, Sibelius, Dorico or your DAW; practice audio (a WAV at your tempo, in your key, with the click); parts for the whole section (C, B-flat, E-flat and F parts as PDFs, one tap); a speed trainer that raises the tempo on each loop (one free run per piece); and PDFs without the ScoreLens line.
Choose Monthly; Yearly, with a 14-day free trial for new subscribers; or Lifetime, paid once.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account and no ads. Photos are deleted from the server after reading; a page that didn't read well is kept for up to 30 days to improve recognition, then deleted. Your library stays on your phone. Anonymous usage statistics can be switched off in Settings.
