ScrollScores is a sheet-music viewer for iPad. The score scrolls by itself at the tempo of the piece, so you never have to stop playing to turn a page.
■ Tempo-linked auto-scroll
• Set the tempo (BPM) and the score glides along at the tempo of the piece
• Fine-tune a speed factor (0.5×–2.0×) per song; every setting is remembered per song
• Change tempo by tracing the tempo dial with a finger. A sample-accurate metronome is built in
• Start with a countdown (3 / 5 / 10 s). While scrolling, all controls disappear so only the music remains
• Tap anywhere to pause and resume
■ Annotate with Apple Pencil
• Natural handwriting powered by PencilKit — fingers work too
• Annotations are saved with the score and stay in place when you rotate the iPad
• Show/hide annotations, clear all
■ Turn pages with a foot pedal
• Bluetooth foot pedals (keyboard-type) scroll a full screen or half a screen (set separately for portrait and landscape)
• Press twice quickly to jump to the previous or next song
■ Setlists
• Arrange scores in performance order and move to the previous/next song with one tap
• Drag-and-drop reordering, duplicate setlists
• Or simply pull past the first/last page to switch songs
■ Page editing
• Duplicate, delete, reorder, crop, rotate, split (two-page spread → two pages) and extract pages
• Lay out D.S. / D.C. repeats in playing order, or trim margins so the music appears larger
• Annotations follow every page operation automatically
■ Add scores from anywhere
• Import PDFs from the Files app (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive)
• Scan paper scores with the camera or import from Photos (black-and-white enhancement, uniform width)
• PDFs dropped into the app's Documents folder from Finder on Mac are imported automatically
■ Organize with folders
• Create folders in your library to organize scores, and nest folders inside folders
• Import an entire folder from the Files app — subfolders become folders too
• Search inside a folder to see only the songs in it
■ Screen sharing for rehearsals
• Share the score on your screen — plus pointer strokes that fade after a few seconds — with the other iPads in the room, so everyone instantly sees “here”
• Local network / direct device-to-device only. No internet required, nothing is stored
■ Usage statistics
• Practice time is recorded per song automatically. Review it by day, week, month or year, with rankings
■ iCloud sync
• Score PDFs, annotations, setlists, folders and tempo settings sync automatically between iPads signed in to the same Apple Account
• Your data lives only in your private iCloud database; the developer cannot access it
■ Simple and private
• No account, no ads, no tracking, one-time purchase
• English and Japanese. Light/dark appearance, score background colors (white / cream / dark)
• Requires iPadOS 16.4 or later — works on iPads that cannot run iPadOS 17
For everyone who uses sheet music.
