Sheet Music Reader Halbestunde

I’m a violist and in music school, so I have a lot going on. This app makes it so easy to listen to a score, which is something I do almost on a daily basis. Music that I’m completely unfamiliar with is now simple to hear, and if it’s something I need to learn, I can speed it way down. I’m a person that learns fastest by listening, so this is really the perfect app for me. So glad I found it! I see some people complaining about the cost, but I don’t really understand what the problem is with paying $20 a year for this app. It just seems ridiculous. 🤷‍♀️ To me it’s worth its weight and gold, because none of the other apps that I tried even comes near the ease of use and consistency. Really happy I found it!

Hello. I cancelled all of my subscriptions long ago, and I never made one for this app (I never participated further because of the subscription cost: can’t afford it while changing my careers). Due to an update I received both, with Apple and your product, I was somehow subscribed; and I cancelled Immediately, when I received notification that my account was charged. I currently unemployed, waiting for the hiring freeze to be lifted. I have a family; I would greatly appreciate it if you returned my funds, please. Thank you.

I have hoped for an app like this for a long time. It does really well in some cases, but falls short in some things that I wish they’d remedy. 1. The app doesn’t interpret multi-measure rests. Results show these are simply replaced with one bar of rest. 2. Alto clef is not handled correctly in all cases (eg cue notes). 3. Sometimes playback doesn’t match scanned results. For example, I scanned a solo guitar piece in B minor and when I played it back it gave me D sharps. 4. In the case of scanning a piano part or something with more staves with intent to export results to musicXML, after a lengthy scan I have to choose only one of the staves to play or save. And I can’t return to already scanned results and save or play the next stave — I have to RESCAN the entire piece for each stave I want to save. I should be able to select all scanned staves and play all selected and save all selected. And in the latter I should be able to choose whether staves are saved as a score in musicXML or midi, or as individual files. This could be an excellent tool for those of us who use music notation software such as Finale for saving time not having to enter music from scratch, just needs to improve a little more. At 10-15 minutes a scan of a four-stave quartet, I find it frustrating having the app redo the scan every time I want to save or play a stave or play or save the score — which it has already figured out. I don’t understand the limitation. On the flip side, the app no longer crashes as much as it did when I first started using it. And importing violin parts (except viola) for a Vivaldi piece, with 32nd note runs all over the place, came through like a champ.
