Remotely control forScore with Cue! Connect wirelessly to one or more nearby devices using forScore and you’ll be able to turn pages, go to a specific page, scroll up and down or toggle half-page turns (depending on each device’s layout), and navigate to any score that’s present on all connected devices. You can even view a device’s screen* to follow along as they play! Cue works with forScore 6.1 or later (sold separately). With Dual Page mode, you can use forScore on one device and Cue on another device to display two full-sized pages simultaneously. Your page and its annotations are sent wirelessly, and tapping or swiping on either device turns two pages at a time—just like a book. Dual Page mode even supports links and buttons, so you can tap on them no matter which side they’re on and they’ll work just like you expect. Cue now even includes a free watchOS app so you can use your Apple Watch as a Bluetooth page turner. Choose from four different button layouts and enable “watch remote” support in forScore’s Devices panel to get started (requires forScore 15.2 or later). Visit forScore.co/cue to learn more! *Performance can vary greatly based on settings, environmental factors, and network availability. A wifi connection is strongly recommended. Image quality can be adjusted in the Settings app.
