iPad App Update: Removal of Musicnotes Link + New Zoom Feature

Apple has requested that we remove the link to www.musicnotes.com from our iPad app, and this video shows you the change. Customers can just go directly to the website in their web browser to purchase sheet music to synch inside the app. Video also showcases a new feature that allows customers to hide the toolbar in the sheet music view, thereby increasing the size of the sheet music by 7%.

Agreed! I use landscape mode all the time with scanned lead sheets. Easy enough to swipe down. I love the idea of the music being on a scroll. Ohhh...with the DS and Coda marks as hyperlinks so you could tap and go back to the apropos spot in the music. I like that......:)

I'd just take landscape mode tho. The eyes, they ain't what they used to be....

I would agree with Poonitz... If Apple were to come out with an iPad that had a viewable space of 8.5 x 11 we would all be happy! In the mean time, we need landscape mode "at least" to read the sheet music when we are sitting at our pianos. The distance for some digital pianos from the eye to the page can be up to 36 inches away and we cant read the music... I could live with a foot pedal to scroll the section of a page in landscape mode.

Landscape mode. Where's landscape mode? And why can't the paradigm of "pages" be eliminated? The iPad is an entirely new format for viewing music, yet it's still a one-page-at-a-time process. The music should be on a "scroll." No page breaks, no footer margin, just a continuous, vertical scroll of staves. Let's do some innovating, people! It's no wonder that eliminating the bar at the bottom had to be a "new zoom feature." It's as if the designers don't use the product. Baffling.

If I had an Ipad, this would be the first app that I would download !
