1.3.0
A sheet music app: the viewer, setlists, photos and scans
MusicTools is now a sheet music app.
New
- The viewer: tap a song and its score fills the screen, the margins trimmed so the notes come out larger. Tap the middle to show or hide the controls, tap the sides or swipe to turn the page, and every song opens where you left it.
- Practice: choose Simple (the metronome over the score) or Auto page turn (pages turn in time). A song’s tempo, meter and clicks are set from the metronome in the viewer.
- Setlists: songs in the order you play them, a practice routine or a concert program. Turn past the last page and the next song opens.
- Scores from photos and scans: Add Sheet takes a PDF, photos of the pages or a camera scan. Photos are straightened by their corners and put in order.
- Open PDFs from other apps: Files, Mail or Safari can open a PDF straight in MusicTools.
- Pages: reorder, turn, remove or add pages, or make some of them a song of their own. Notes and the Song Form follow their pages.
- Page-turn pedals: a Bluetooth pedal turns the pages, and starts and pauses Auto page turn.
- Search and recent songs in the library, and a backup you can restore on a new device.
- Stamps in the sheet editor: fingerings, dynamics, accidentals and more in one tap.
- A tuner in the Metronome tab, with A anywhere from 415 to 466 Hz.
- Play along: attach an audio file or a recording to a song, slow it down or loop it from A to B.
Changed
- The song setup screen is gone: its settings are in the viewer now. The app opens on the Library tab.
Fixed
- The first few clicks could come out bunched together when the metronome started.
