ScorePDF vs NotationPlayer

A sheet music viewer app with easy page turning. Turn pages with taps and swipes. You can also reorder the pages of your sheet music. Easy Page Turning - You can turn pages with taps and swipes. - Supports Bluetooth page-turning foot pedals. - Tap assignments can be set to: previous page, left/right, top/bottom, next page, or disabled. - Swipe gestures can be toggled on or off individually for up, down, left, and right. - Actions other than page turning (such as displaying the menu or writing annotations) can be assigned to gestures that won’t interfere with page turning, such as long-pressing or tapping the top or bottom edges. - Zoom operations on the sheet music (pinch or double-tap) can also be toggled on or off.
