Learn your music and run rehearsals right from your mobile device using the new RehearScore App! Sometimes, finding a rehearsal pianist that meets your budgeting and scheduling needs can be challenging. The new RehearScore® is a complete digital rendition of the Piano-Conductor Score, sequenced by a top Broadway accompanist, precisely the way the composer intended. Every musical number (including scene changes, dance music, and underscoring) is recorded in its entirety so you can rehearse even if you don’t have a pianist. ● Every cast member can have access to RehearScore® ○ Simply download the App right from the App Store to access your show! ● Conduct dance or choral rehearsals. ○ With the ability to change the tempo and loop a dance break, you can run multiple rehearsals at once without the need of a separate pianist or recording. ● Find the right key – transpositions are easy. ○ Adjust your songs into the key that best suits your performer. ● Isolate, increase, or remove any particular vocal line. ○ Because each singer’s part has been recorded on a separate track, it can be played back with or without accompaniment (or louder or softer, relative to the accompaniment). ● Click and jump to any measure. ○ Measure numbers match each individual score. ● Add cuts and vamps. ○ Edit the songs down to the specific cutting you need and find the perfect number of vamps you’ll need in each song. ● Save your changes. ○ After adjusting the songs, save your changes to distribute to your cast and crew.

Show|Ready is a rehearsal app for musical theatre productions. It gives cast members on-demand access to their licensed rehearsal music so they can practice outside of scheduled rehearsals. The app is designed specifically for rehearsal use and works with licensed musical theatre productions distributed through Right on Cue Services (ROCS). How the App Works Show|Ready is a free player for rehearsal materials authorized for a specific production. After a production has been licensed, cast members receive a Viewer access code from their theatre organization. Enter the code in Show|Ready to download the production's rehearsal materials to the app. Once a production has been downloaded, users can: • Browse and play the rehearsal songs for their production • Adjust playback tempo and transpose the music to a different key • Isolate, mute, and solo vocal and instrumental parts • Navigate through songs, markers, and configured events • Follow the piano/conductor score • Receive the latest production updates when the production team publishes changes • Practice outside of scheduled rehearsals Audio Content Show|Ready show files include the following virtual MIDI instruments: • Piano • Bass • Drums • Click • Lead vocal lines* • Ensemble vocal lines* *Vocal parts are represented using virtual MIDI instruments rather than traditional guide vocals. This allows performers to clearly hear notes and harmonies while practicing their individual parts. Free Demo Try a free Show|Ready demo: • Download and open the Show|Ready app. • Tap Add Free Demo. • Accept the EULA (End User License Agreement). • Tap Activate. The demo production will download and open automatically, allowing you to explore songs, make temporary adjustments to tempo and key, view the included score, and test playback.
