Optimized for tablets · also supports iPhone and Android smartphones
PagePilot Viewer
Prepare one song. Keep your place when it is time to play.
Keep your score, reference recording, and tempo ready for the same song. Start by reading a single score, then add the page turns or rehearsal tools your playing needs.
What would help your next rehearsal?¶
| Your situation | What you can prepare | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| The order changed again | Rearrange songs without rebuilding the PDF, with MC and instrument-change notes between them | Scores & Setlists |
| Both hands are busy at a page turn | Use a pedal, or prepare a timed automatic turn | Page turners / Practice & Auto Page Turns |
| You need the same recording and tempo next time | Keep audio and a metronome setting ready for the song | Practice with one song |
| Different parts need to start halfway through together | Follow one tablet’s song position using each person’s prepared score | Sync Together |
PDF, MusicXML, and MEI¶
Bring PDFs, MusicXML, and MEI in through the same Score File option, then open the saved scores from Scores in your library. MusicXML and MEI build fixed pages before saving; they also support transposition and updates from a source file.
For scores made in MuseScore or Dorico, choose PDF to keep the exported appearance or MusicXML to use the musical information.
Preparing for Public Release¶
PagePilot Viewer is currently available only to beta testers. General availability on the App Store and Google Play is being prepared. We will announce the public release on this site.
To join, use the beta tester application. If you already have an invitation, see For Beta Testers.
The first useful experiment¶
With Viewer installed, add one PDF or score photo and open it. Check that you can read it at your normal playing distance, then try a page turn. That is enough for the first session.
Without a score file, try a copyable chord-chart example. Change one chord and preview it again. Audio and automatic page turns are optional next steps.
Help when you need it¶
If something is stopping your rehearsal, start with the symptom. The manual’s problem finder points to missing audio, wrong page turns, lost scores, and connection problems. For a longer task, it also links to guides organized by what you want to achieve.
You can also ask the PagePilot Viewer Support Notebook in English or Japanese—for example, “The score moves, but I cannot hear the click.” It uses the Japanese manual and FAQ as sources; follow its links when checking an operation or a setting’s effects.
