PlayScore Pro app for iPhone and iPad

PlayScore – Snap or load a page of printed music and follow on screen as the music plays. Export as MIDI or MusicXML.

PlayScore takes traditional music scanning to the next level. It understands all the symbols of standard music notation - articulation, dynamics, even tremolo, and can play all kinds of sheet music and scores directly from a photo

PlayScore is recommended by many top classical musicians including John Lubbock CBE (Orchestra of St John), Ian Brown (Nash Ensemble) and top oboist George Caird.

PlayScore Pro can read scores with systems of many staffs such as SATB vocal scores and chamber music as well as piano music and songs. As well as the device camera you can load pages of music from online sites, or your own scans. PlayScore can save in JPG, MIDI and Music XML.
