Every score you own. Every marking you've ever made. On the iPad in your bag, the iPhone in your pocket and the Mac on your desk, all in sync. The sheet music reader that runs on everything you play from. Free to download. SCORES THAT NAME THEMSELVES "scan_0417.pdf" becomes "Clair de Lune, Debussy" by itself. Import a folder of a hundred files and watch the titles and composers fill in. NO MORE BAD PAGE TURNS Half-page turns show you the next line before you need it. Turn with a tap, a swipe or a foot pedal. Put a concert in a setlist and one piece flows into the next, with the screen awake until the applause. THE PRACTICE ROOM Mark a fingering. Highlight the entry you keep missing. White out the editor's bowing and write your own. Apple Pencil, any stylus or a fingertip; the line follows your pressure. Highlighters blend like real ones. The eraser takes back one stroke or one pixel. Every marking sits on a layer you can hide for the concert. PLAY ALONG, HANDS FREE Attach a recording to any score. Turn the pages once while it plays and enScore remembers every turn, half pages included. Loop a passage, slow it down, or start it the moment the score opens. TALKS TO YOUR KEYBOARD Turn pages from any MIDI pedal or controller. Give a score its sounds so your keyboard is on the right patch the moment it opens: program changes, bank select and Song Select. YOUR PRACTICE, ON RECORD enScore logs minutes a day, streaks, and which pieces you practised and when. Set a daily goal, jot a note from inside the score, and share a report as a PDF. SHARE A SETLIST Send a whole setlist as one file: the PDFs, the order, page ranges and your markings. Open it on any device running enScore, ready to play. BRING IN YOUR MUSIC Share a PDF from any app or import a whole folder. Search IMSLP without leaving enScore. Point your camera at a photocopy and it lands straightened, cropped and clean, or use a flatbed or feeder scanner over Wi-Fi. COMING FROM FORSCORE? One .4sc file and your scores, ink, stamps and layers land exactly as you left them. Nothing to redo.
