forScore Cue vs Programmable Metronome

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).

Image quality can be adjusted in the Settings app.

In addition to basic metronome functionality with a flashing visual indicator, this application provides a page of re-programmable buttons that allow frequently used tempos to be saved with a long-press and played back again at a single tap. A group of twelve buttons can be saved and recalled later to facilitate as many sets of tempos as a user could need (button groups can also be deleted with a long-press). On the main page, the user can choose between entering a tempo manually, or tapping in their own beat on the top half of the screen, which the app will use as a tempo. The app also includes two final features: a metric modulation calculator, useful for converting tempos in sheet music that uses metric modulation notation instead of specifying a tempo change in absolute terms; and a tempo watch that can be used to figure out the tempo of a song or beat that is currently playing.
