Though not super fast, this is quick enough to set up at a practice session. I have to create bookmark data for that page (which is pretty easy now that I know what I'm doing) and then scribble to my hearts content on it.

I added a blank music score PDF sheet to my iPad's folders so whenever I need to chart something from scratch, I can import that file (I can add it many times over and it will recurse the file name so I can do multiple songs from scratch from that single file). I set up Ed Fuqua's book with the lesson tracks embedded in the practice pages! This will make study go so much more smoooothly! I have a gig of originals coming up and was able to link iTunes tracks to those charts to practice to. I can now quickly edit charts on the bandstand using the apple pencil (woohoo!) Also, many of the popular books aren't indexed so you need to do that stuff yourself - the indices I found online weren't complete enough and had many errors. The advanced features that involved bookmarking were, I felt, fairly challenging to figure out. The basic features seemed really easy to get. But it cost me a lot of time to set up correctly for what I needed. It has many great features that for me that make it way better than iGigbook. I took the deep dive on forScore a month or so ago and am now doing more advanced stuff with it. You can create a bookmark of a page within the book but you can't really treat that bookmark like a searchable tune and you can't have multiple bookmarks with the same name.įrom what I've read on their forums, it looks like both developers are aware of their shortcomings but haven't managed to deliver improvements. It assumes each pdf file is a different score. But it has a really big flaw that prevents me from using it in any meaningful way in a jazz context. What I like is that it otherwise handles compilation books really well - and this is what most jazz players deal with all the time.įoreScore as mentioned previously has the editing part down much much better. My band leader is often making changes to charts on the fly so it gets frustrating with iGigbook because you can fumble for minutes trying make edits when the rest of the band (using paper and pencil) is ready to go. IGigbook is great as long as you don't annotate the charts on the fly. I find that both had shortcomings if you play jazz. I also have an iPad Pro and have iGigbook and ForeScore on it.
