About

Read full description

SheetCue is a sheet music app for turning your own PDF scores or score photos into a measure-by-measure practice view. It shows the current and next measures together, helping you stay with the score instead of repeatedly scrolling. Import a PDF or up to 20 JPEG/PNG score images. Mark score rows to create measure boxes, then add, split, merge, resize, or delete them as needed. Key features: - Import PDF sheet music or score photos in your chosen order - Mark score rows to create measures and correct them manually - Repeat, skip, and rearrange measures into a custom practice order - Set BPM, beat count, and timing by measure - Use count-in, metronome, and A-B loop, and adjust how quickly the score view advances - Switch between current-and-next-measure and full-page views - Add annotations to the current page or measure - Export and import SheetCue presets - Keep score files and practice data stored locally on your device SheetCue does not listen to your performance or automatically play or interpret musical notes. The score view advances according to the timing and order you confirm. SheetCue requires a SheetCue Plus subscription (monthly or annual). Eligible accounts can start with a 14-day free trial, as shown in the App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MIDI SideGig at none against SheetCue's shown. SheetCue's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
