iPad Sheet Music - Muzibook introduces sheet music for iPad

[largemanwithgun]

would the samsung galaxy be too small to view sheet music properly? 

[afertyus1000]

@largemanwithgun no it should be ok,i played with the london philharmonic prokofiev concerto 2 on it when i sightread it,memorised it after first reading though

[olekike]

@afertyus1000 what is, according to you the minimum screensize to view sheet music well?

[bevoburn]

Great vid and great app. iPad has solved the whole problem of attempting to flip a music book page and accidentally flipping two. (there needs to be an ability to take notes onto the sheet. )

[Rani9000]

thanks for the vid.

Could anyone tell me if sight reading music from the Ipad is convenient? (at the piano or guitar with the iPad on a stand)

The screen looks a bit small but maybe it does the job.

[lubis1991]

I may be a little greedy here, but what I want from a dedicated sheet music app must include the following features:

Orchestral scores with click-to-view-instrument-score­s feature

Note taking with changes/annotations in a different font colour

Unified font and appearance across all scores from all sources

Scanning of hardcopy scores and interpretation of scores into editable versions again with standardised fonts

With all those features, I honestly wouldn't mind paying higher prices!

Ah, Clair de Lune . . . one of my fav's.

That was such a beautiful song! I wish I had the money to get one..

[gaylebird1]

how do you scan your music in and upload it to the ipad. Have you done this with a computer too? Doesn't this take forever?

[prooc]

How does it change automatically?

Smooth but strange editing! Audio track is absent from middle line on last page of this music score. There are 7 bars on the final page but only the first 2 and last 3 were sound-recorded. Either the notes in the 2 bars on the middle line were accidentally omitted during the recording process or, for whatever reason, they have been seamlessly cut from the recording. Personally I dont give a hoot, but find it quite bizarre that Muzibook Publishing accept this error in their promotional video.

Humanity is so shortsighted. Trees are the lungs of the world and the printing industry ensures the existence of tree farms. When forests cease to be money-generators they are replaced by concrete jungles. And Google how much plastic debris exists in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. It would be more humane to offer a page-turner some useful employment or continue with our usual coping strategies just as thousands of other instrumentalists have done, photocopy to save turning a page, or memorise.

@hedgewytche I've been using an iMac as a pipe organ, etc. with ALL my music scanned in. It works awesome. If anything, we're going to have more trees, not less.The printing industry could also stop being short sighted and use hemp which has always been a better quality. Look up the REAL story behind "Reefer Madness"... it was some idiot in the paper industry trying to shut down hemp because it would kill his business. If people are short sighted, it's because they believe too much media.

[krazybassist64]

What will inevitably happen to revolutionize the whole concept of sight reading is software for tablet devices. The built in microphone will recognize the pitches being played and initiate automatic page turns based on tempo.

[derfsanderson]

I think with a midi pickup system you can send messages like that and with the right software it corresponds to your notes or chords i think

[tenorbrasswindplayer]

now THAT is something I might use, as long as it is MIDI compatible and can hold a lot of music

first to rate, and comment :-D hehe

I like your work, as always. I do not have an iTouch anymore, so I guess I'll have to but an iPad! ^_^
