I used to have forscore then they charge you to snip and paste. Mobilesheets is much better.

I got 2 of these apps after hearing your comments.
Tonal Energy tuner has real insights into controlling your instrument rather than just tuning up. π
Music Scanner especially as a feed into Musescore is disappointing. I guess itβs 70% functional which leaves a lot of tidying upππ I may find other uses but itβs quicker to rewrite the score than feed from this scanner

SmartChord. Definitely essential
β MY EQUIPMENT β
Camera: Panasonic GH5
Is it Force Core? or Four Score? Wondering....
Microphone: Rode VideoMicro
iPad: iPad Pro 2020 12.9 inch
Why use Turboscan when Forescore has a built in scanner which works really well and will do multiple pages without having to βaddβ each new page?
Sheet Music App: Forscore
Pedal: Donner Wireless Page Turner Pedal
Interesting
β MUSIC β

More User Perspectives
You're missing the imslp app...
@MCMeruDo you prefer Turbo Scan, Sheet Music Scanner or Forscore to scan your sheet music. Thanks.
@watchingyoutube7330As a fiddle player, my favourite app is StrumMachine.
@johntait491Good presentation cheers ive only used Irealpro on Android but a few mucians i know prefer Band in a Box and a other one i cant remember the name of Im not currently on Apple but i found your breaksown usefull muchas gracias
@davidmiller4078Itβs interesting to watch this video. Thanks for sharing.
@trannguyenthienhienlouiela1002Audiveris is a free app I use to convert an existing PDF into musicxml which I then import & edit in MuseScore.
@dahVEEDBBoneOne is JamZone best app ever for playing not only does it scroll chords and words but it allows you to take out any instrument with slider
@NVPrepperHelpful. When you scan sheet music, do you have permission from the publisher where the music is under copyright?
@iainbremner8909I'm a jazz pianist on the Monterey Peninsula. i use iGigbook for scores and PDFs rather than Forscore. That USED TO BE my go to app for pick-up band gigging , but everyone has gone back to iReal Pro for consistency and transposition. (You just need to know the melody, or let the horns play it. :-) For pianists, iStrobosoft put a $300 tuner on your phone.for ten bucks. Incidentally, the Alto busker battery-powered speakers sound great and last a long time...
@thesoundsmithScaler 3 is a must.
@MeerkatMuziciβve used piascore for years and really like it. itβs also free.
@TonysmithmusicAs a musician the app I need most is a napp.. π€
@checkedoffGreat video, but why not just scan music with forScore? I scan music and make hard copies if I need it, or send it to a different file other than forScore.
@sopranogirl13π€Thank you. Great info!
@cmin7b9Iβve been using Music Scanner for years! My favorite thing is to use it to convert to Music XML so I can edit. A lot of my teacher friends use for score and I think Iβm definitely gonna try that now since I have so much Sheet Music stored in different places on my devices. I want it to be in one place.
@brooksmusicTonal Energy is a great app ππ»
@jonathanroyce9692That was awesome, thank you!
@DanAustin-qk8yrIReal Pro and Genius JT are very good tools for musicians too, especially ones that compose and improvise. Folks that arenβt stuck on just playing printed music.
@BlueFritzieSheet Music Scanner looks interesting. How do you get the scanned sheet music from an android device into ForScore? Do you use this app instead of the scanning function on ForScore? This app looks useful to get sheet music into MuseScore without inputting each note. Thanks for the information
@stevepeleshok2289Great advice. Thank you.
@shalvahmbmacdonald8487Thanks!
@thpark8189Thoughts on turbo scan vrs using KeyScore to scan, then open in ForScore? Thanks for all the super recommendations and for ForScore Fridays.
@ChristensenStringStudiogreat info. Thanks!
