Notenbuch: Sheet Music Stand

New: annotations on separate layers, pedals you assign yourself, and a beat you can see – even when the click is lost in a loud rehearsal room.

Notenbuch turns your iPad or iPhone into a digital music stand – without heavy binders, photocopies or someone else's cloud. You decide where your scores live: in a folder of your choice, for example in iCloud Drive or the Files app. Notenbuch organises them, displays them and stays with you while practising and on stage.

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR FOLDER – Any base folder instead of a forced cloud – pick one in iCloud Drive and your scores are on all your devices automatically – Import scores as PDF or photo – or scan them with the camera: edges, perspective and contrast are corrected automatically – Your library as an index: numbers in a march book, group letters in a folder of pieces – per folder, and the app works out which one fits – A search field above the list and a letter rail along the edge, like a phone book – Search across title, composer, genre, tags and folder – and across your bookmark names

SETLISTS FOR CONCERT AND REHEARSAL – Combine any scores from your whole library into a setlist – Reorder them with a fingertip – Page through a whole setlist in the viewer without going back to the library

REHEARSE TOGETHER – One device calls the piece, every stand opens its own part – and turns its own pages from there – No Wi-Fi, no account, no server of ours: the call goes into the room over Bluetooth, joining takes a four-digit code. Only title, number and composer travel, never your files

MADE FOR PRACTICE AND THE STAGE – Handwritten annotations with finger or stylus, in three stroke widths, plus a highlighter – Annotation layers: show or hide fingering, conducting and bowings on their own – Stamps from pianissimo to fortissimo, hairpins, accent, staccato, fermata, flat, sharp and natural – plus your own: draw a mark yourself or type a short one like “pizz.” – Keep audio files with a score: a reference recording, a backing track, a take from the rehearsal – or record yourself, in several takes – Loop a hard passage between A and B and slow it down to half speed, with the pitch unchanged – Practice time, written down: days in a row, the last few weeks and which pieces have been left behind – with a daily goal if you want one. The numbers stay in your own folder – Jump links: tap “D.S. al Coda” on the page and the app goes to the sign – Rehearsal marks: a bookmark named with a single letter becomes a rehearsal mark – a column beside the page in landscape, with its bar – Bookmarks for the places that matter: “Coda”, “solo”, “2nd verse” – marked in the page strip and findable in your library – Metronome and tuner – and you can see the beat – Bluetooth pedal, every switch freely assignable

LARGE, CLEAN PAGES – Two pages side by side in landscape, like an open book – half as many page turns, switchable any time – Half-page turns: the next page is already at the top while the spot you are playing stays put below – Rotate, reorder or hide pages – a page scanned sideways is upright in seconds, and your file stays untouched – White margins are trimmed automatically, so your music appears as large as possible – Grey scans can be lifted to real black on white, with pencil markings kept

EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE – Per score: title, composer, number, part, genre, tags, key, tempo, duration, rating, arranger, publisher and source – Sort by name, number, composer or rating – set per folder – Light or dark design; in night mode the page is dimmed as well, so your stand does not glow on stage – Large system text, checked contrast and “Reduce Motion” are supported

Notenbuch replaces the paper binder – for orchestra musicians, chamber ensembles, choirs, music students and everyone who likes their sheet music digital, ordered and ready at hand.
