NextPage Sheet Music Reader vs NovaNota

Imagine having all of your music on one iPad, and never another page turn to worry about. NextPage was made by a lifelong musician and software engineer for one job: reading music in rehearsal and on stage. TURN PAGES WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT • Tap or swipe to turn, or use a Bluetooth page-turn pedal and keep both hands playing. • Page Links jump straight to any page, a repeat, a coda or the next verse with one tap. • The bars fade away while you play, so the music fills the screen. • Crop away wide margins, and rearrange, repeat or skip pages without touching the PDF. MARK IT UP LIKE PAPER • Use pens, a highlighter that tints the page without hiding the notes, musical symbols, shapes and text notes. • Write with Apple Pencil using Apple's own pens, pencil and marker. • Share any song as a PDF with all your markings, ready to send to the band or print. BUILD THE SET • Line up your songs for the performance and step easily through them from one to the next. • Keep as many set lists as you need and reuse them. • Bring in charts from the Files app, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive and Planning Center. KNOW EVERY SONG AT A GLANCE • Song Info keeps the key, tempo, composer and arrangement for each song, with a circle of fifths for picking the key. • Attach a rehearsal track from the Music app or the Files app and play along from the bar at the bottom of the screen. • A built-in metronome keeps counting as you move from song to song. KEEP IT SAFE • Back up your songs, set lists and markings to iCloud or Dropbox, and bring them back on a new iPad. • Show the music on an external display or projector. • Dark music mode shows white notes on black paper for dim stages.
