Score Wizard

This app is fantastic for anyone who works with sheet music. The score-following feature is incredibly accurate and makes practicing so much smoother—you can actually focus on playing instead of constantly checking your place. The interface is clean, intuitive, and reliable, even during longer sessions. It’s clear a lot of thought went into the user experience. Easily a 5-star app for musicians of any level.

The app can help turn pages automatically once you have properly trained each page with your own playing. I been using this feature for month and missed page turns rarely happens.

I’ve been using Score Wizard for 9 months and now use it daily. It makes it easy to carry around all of my sheet music and access it quickly and easily without going through my stacks of books and loose sheet music to find a piece I want to play. What I really like about the app is that I can play a piece on the piano and train Score Wizard to automatically turn the pages at the right time so I don’t have to take my hands off of the keyboard to flip pages. And I can do this with the sheet music I already have. I don’t have to subscribe to any service or download selected pieces offered by some service. I can load the music that I already own. It doesn’t matter how fast you play the piece. Score Wizard listens as you play and then flips the page at the appropriate point. Score Wizard will work with a Bluetooth foot pedal to allow you to completely control when to flip pages, but I find that the auto-flip works very well most of the time. Some of that is because Score Wizard presents a preview window of the next page a little before you get to the end of the current page. That way, the page flip doesn’t have to be exactly right. And you can control where on the screen that preview is displayed so that it doesn’t cover up the portion of the page that you’re currently playing. You simply keep playing using the preview display and then the app expands to display the new page. I’ve done this with pieces that are more than 20 pages long and the app stays right with me. Score Wizard supports a number of different ways to load your sheet music. You can import .pdf files, you can take pictures of your music and import, or you can load files using the iTunes file sharing utility. Score Wizard takes your file and cleans up the display and will even try to straighten the display if you have scanned the music from a book where the image has a curve. The app will also let you add annotations to your sheet music if you want to emphasize something or put in a reminder and you can then remove the annotation once you’ve mastered the piece. While the auto-flip capability works well if you’re playing alone, it can get confused if playing in a group since it is listening as you play. Other instruments playing along with you will confuse the auto-flip, but in those cases, you can either use the Bluetooth foot pedal or you can touch the screen to manually flip pages. Overall, it’s a great app. I’ve loaded over 100 pieces into the app and use it every day.
