SeeScore 2 vs SAFFIRE

** SeeScore 2 lets you view and play MusicXML files ** SeeScore 2 is a music score display app intended for musicians to practice or perform instrumental or vocal music from the iPad instead of using conventional paper scores. Unlike PDF score display apps which show a tiny score in the middle of the screen with large empty margins, SeeScore 2 uses flexible MusicXML layout so that when you pinch zoom the score reflows to the screen size, right up to the edge, making best use of your valuable screen pixels. Also you can choose any parts to view from multi-part music and change the size of the music to suit your distance from the iPad. Play SeeScore 2 will play with you. You can setup an instrument for each part in the score, and adjust the volumes. You can mute the part you play so it will accompany you, and it will turn the pages while it plays. You can hide all the parts except your own so you don't need to see the other parts while you play. Any tempi and time signatures defined in the score are read while playing and the metronome and auto-scroll automatically follow. Tranpose You can instantaneously transpose the score. Notes and key signatures are all correctly updated and it will play at the new pitch. Metronome SeeScore 2 can play a metronome tick with a pattern which automatically adjusts to the current time signature. Fast. You will notice that SeeScore 2 is extremely fast and responsive. You will never have to wait for a progress bar. The screen will instantly fill with music when you scroll, pinch zoom or transpose. PlayScore 2 You can convert your PDF files to MusicXML using PlayScore 2 (available in the App Store), then open them in SeeScore 2, or most score writing programs can output MusicXML directly.
