Score Viewer

The Score Viewer is the screen you will be looking at most during a performance. It displays not only PDF and image scores but also text pages. Tap or swipe to turn pages, and if you need them, annotations, the timeline, the metronome, and the simple MIDI keyboard are all available on the same screen.

What You Can Do Here

• Turn pages by tapping, swiping, using an external keyboard, or a page turner
• Show or hide annotations, and write new ones
• Use the timeline to manage playback position and cues
• Turn on the metronome to feel the beat
• Open the simple MIDI keyboard to check pitches on the spot
• Switch the display style of text pages without leaving the screen
• Sync with Conductor to follow DAW playback

Controls at the Top

The top bar appears when you bring up the controls. From here you can go back, toggle annotations, enter annotation mode, edit text pages, show the piano keyboard, connect to Conductor, or navigate to settings.

Timeline at the Bottom

For songs that have a timeline, playback, seek, cue creation, page navigation, and metronome controls are all grouped at the bottom. When a song has audio and page turns attached, this strip becomes your main control surface during a show.

Using Annotations

On PDF and image scores you can use annotation tools — pen, highlighter, and eraser. Once you use an active stylus even once, hiding the annotation palette switches the screen into stylus-only mode, which helps prevent accidental touches during performance.

Note for 2-in-1 (spread) view: Annotations attach to the page where you start the stroke. If you begin on the left page and cross the spine, no line will be drawn on the right page. To annotate the adjacent page, lift the pen and start a new stroke on that page.

Using Text Pages

From within the Score Viewer you can switch how a text page looks on the fly. To edit the content itself, open Text Page Editor; to adjust the overall appearance, go to Text Page Settings. If you just want to temporarily change the display style, Style Picker is handy.

Metronome and Simple Keyboard

Use the metronome when you need a tempo reference. Open the simple MIDI keyboard to quickly check pitches without breaking your flow. Both are available without closing the score, so they fit naturally into your rehearsal or performance.

Conductor Integration

When a song from a setlist is open, sync with Conductor is available. The sync state is also shown by a line at the bottom edge of the screen, making it easy to check follow status during a show.

External Keyboard and Page Turner

External keyboards and common BLE HID page turners are supported. Key operations include: number keys to jump to a song, arrow keys to turn pages, and Space to toggle playback.

If You Get Stuck

• If you cannot see the controls, tap the screen to toggle them.
• If automatic page turns are not working, check Setlist Item Detail to confirm that audio and page turns are linked to this song.
• If you want to change the look for just one song, review the per-item display settings rather than the global settings.
• To re-select audio or page turns before you start, see Audio & Page Turns Picker.
• To fine-tune cue positions or tempo references on the timeline, open Cue Details.
