IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library, the public domain collection of classical scores that musicians have relied on since 2006. This app puts it on your device, and gives you somewhere to work on it. FIND A SCORE Search by work, composer or instrument, or browse a composer's catalogue the way you would a shelf. Open anything straight away, or download it and keep it. Once a score is on your device it stays there, and it opens with no connection at all. MARK IT UP Annotate with Apple Pencil or your finger: fingerings, bowings, cuts, a reminder for the next rehearsal. Your marks stay with the score. PRACTICE ON IT A metronome and a chromatic tuner sit in the same window as the music, so you never put the score down to reach them. Record a take while you play, then listen back against the page you were reading. KEEP TRACK Build practice plans, log what you worked on, and see where the time actually went. ORGANISE Group scores into setlists for a concert or a lesson, and into collections for everything else. Put them in the order you play them, and they open that way. BRING YOUR OWN Import PDFs, photograph a printed part, or bring a forScore backup across. Your existing library comes with you. HANDS FREE Optional head-gesture page turning, so you can keep both hands on the instrument. It uses the front camera, it is off until you turn it on, and nothing leaves the device. MEMBERSHIP A free account holds ten scores and ten hours of recordings. An IMSLP membership lifts both limits, removes the download wait, lets you upload your own recordings, and opens the commercial recordings. It also keeps IMSLP itself free and open for everyone who reads from it. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - https://imslp.org/wiki/IMSLP:Terms_of_Service_and_Privacy_policy_(app)

Practice More is a complete practice room for musicians: a rock-solid metronome, a sub-cent tuner, a play-along and recording studio, and a journal that remembers every session. One app, built by a working guitar teacher. THE METRONOME A native audio engine schedules every click on an absolute sample timeline, so it never drifts and never wobbles. • Any time signature — pick a preset or type your own • Subdivisions from eighths to sixteenth triplets, drawn as real engraved notes • Swing, from dead straight to fully shuffled • Four-level accents you edit as a histogram • Drum grooves — rock, funk, blues, swing, dance — for when a bare click isn't enough • A tempo trainer that steps or ramps you up, bar by bar • Practice timer, tap tempo, and a spoken count-in that stays in time even at fast tempos THE TUNER • Sub-cent accuracy from real pitch detection, not a rough estimate • A strobe that behaves like a real strobe tuner, plus a graduated LED meter • Adjustable reference pitch, and an instrument mode for a clean plugged-in signal PLAY ALONG AND RECORD • Import any audio or video file, or open one straight from Files • Slow it down to half speed without changing the pitch — or shift the pitch without changing the speed • Loop a section, drop markers, and drill the hard bar until it's yours • Record over the top, in sync: the latency is measured on your device, not guessed • Overdub, mix and export SCORES • Guitar Pro files and chord charts, with playback, a mixer and per-track control • Tap the score to move the playhead, drag across it to set a loop THE JOURNAL • Every session logged: the piece, the tempo, how long you played • Tempo-over-time charts, so you can see the progress you can't feel • Recordings, scores and backing tracks filed with the song they belong to Practice More runs entirely on your device. No account, no sign-up, and it works with the Wi-Fi off. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
