I'm a hobby pianist with occasional paid gigs. I'd love to use this to play along with scores. Here is my feedback purely from a playback perspective. I haven't tried entering / editing any scores yet.

Some issues:

- Vertical page scrolling is not as intuitive. Could the pages be moved into place from the right? (horizontal scrolling).

- Scrolling is not at all smooth and just far too slow throughout (regardless of the mode used).

- No support for multiple systems per page. In other words, if the page could fit more measures, the next measures should be wrapped.

Feature requests:

- Consider allowing a no scroll mode - just skip to the next page.

- Also, allow configuring of page turns X beats ahead of the playback location. For example, I prefer folks to manually turn my pages 1-2 measures before the end of the page as I will have memorized the remaining measures.

- Could you provide an option for the score to resize to use the maximum available vertical space?

- Landscape page mode?

- Hide entire instruments (therefore reducing the system height).

- Support multiple systems per page (line wrapping of measures).




Thanks a lot for your feedback!

You can switch to a vertical mode with the button on the top right corner (||||). It should also mitigate the scrolling issue. Meanwhile we will do our best to increase performance on huge scores.

For your features requests:

-A no scroll mode will definitely come

-Yes, you're right, for now it's made for listening but not for playing we will soon add a "Performance" mode in order to smoothen the "page turns" and to do it automatically with the sound.

-That's a neat idea we will consider it

-It's already available in the display options (the second button on the top of the first page, on the right of the instruments button)

-In fact it's a good idea in order to have more space when working on a piece

-You can have multiple systems in a single page. I assume that you have many instruments. We try to keep instruments grouped, not to have instruments scattered through multiple pages when possible
