r/forScore

I'm currently bowing Beethoven 6 for an upcoming concert, and the parts I was given are dreadful. Maybe it's how the part was scanned, I don't know...but as always, I use the white pencil in ForScore to "erase" anything in the PDF that needs cleaning.

But...recently I'm finding that the app freezes after a heavy annotation (lots of white on one page), and sometimes the annotations themselves will straight up disappear. To fix it, I have to go back into annotation mode and they reappear, but I have to do that a total of three times before they "stick".

Is anyone else having this issue? Both iPad and ForScore are on the latest versions and I'm about to start looking for another app. I've been using ForScore in performance since the app came out, and I also pay for premium...but the current state of the app is ridiculous for heavy use.

When I play, I use middle distance - i.e., computer - glasses. Those have worked well for physical sheet music. I’ve been transitioning to using ForScore on my iPad Pro and find that the music is harder to read. Most of the music is uploaded from the Henle app. Other than using a landscape format or zooming in, I can’t come up with a reliable way to increase it. Does anyone else have this issue? It seems crazy to have another paid of middle glasses for ForScore, but that’s the issue I find myself facing. Any suggestions are welcome.

I am not into tech and I'm really impatient with this scanning process. I am trying to scan large piano/vocal songbooks but it seems there is a 24-page limit, meaning I will have to upload the book in parts (part 1, part 2, part 3 etc.)? Is there a better way?
