Start here
Your scores on a tablet.
Your order, as a setlist.
Instead of paper or a PDF viewer — read, turn, and play.
When the setlist changes, reordering and swapping happen inside the app. You never have to rebuild the original PDF.
Sound familiar?¶
Even on a tablet, the work around your sheet music often stays manual.
Rebuilding the PDF every time the order changes¶
With a generic PDF viewer, a setlist change usually means cutting and pasting pages in another app to assemble one new PDF.
Still on paper, and tired of reshuffling¶
Paper is a hassle to carry, reorder, and swap at the last minute — and last-minute changes are always the worst ones.
A pause every time you turn the page¶
Turning a page by hand always stops your hands for a moment. The more an instrument keeps both hands busy, the bigger the problem.
What PagePilot Viewer does¶
No special setup required. You can start from "it just works as a normal score app."
Bring in your scores
Import from PDFs, photos, or files already on the device — one at a time or in batches.
Line them up as a setlist
Just put the songs in the order you'll play them. Reuse any song from your library as often as you like.
Reorder and swap freely
Reordering and swapping happen entirely inside the app. No editing or rebuilding the original PDF.
Turn pages your way
Tap, swipe, hardware keyboards, and common foot pedals are all supported. In a multi-song setlist, a direct swipe moves between songs.
Write on the page
Pen-friendly annotation lets you mark up and erase right on the score, without leaving the page.
Tune the presentation
Choose scroll direction, layout, and an inverted display, to match the room's lighting and your own style.
The first flow¶
- Bring in your scores (PDFs, photos, files)
- Create a setlist and line up the songs in playing order
- Read straight from the score screen as you play
That alone is enough to replace paper or a generic PDF viewer.
The next step¶
Once you can line up and turn pages, you can move on to practicing while you listen, and letting page turns happen automatically.
The manual covers screen-by-screen operation in detail.
