Can't get to my Library (or anything else) when I have a score open

Hi. I'm a new user so apologies if there is an obvious solution to this problem. I'm on a fairly new iPad Air, running iOS 26.5, and using an Apple Pencil Pro. I'm trying to see my Library when I have a score open. This is what happens:

  1. Double-tap center of screen (which the manual says will open main menu). Annotation menu opens. This is not what I want.

  2. Close annotation menu.

  3. Try double-tapping at top of screen. This shrinks the size of the score window somewhat.

  4. Double-tap top of screen again. Nothing happens.

  5. Double-tap top of screen third time. A menu with options forScore, Edit, Annotate, View, Window, Help appears at the top of the window for less than a second and then disappears.

  6. I go through Steps 3, 4, and 5 again and quickly select a menu option before it disappears. None of the menu options have a command that brings up the Library.

  7. I go down many rabbit holes with the User Manual, Claude and Google looking for suggestions. Nothing works. I've tried a lot of things.

  8. Eventually, I restart my iPad, restart ForScore (which opens up the score I had open before) and I go through Steps 3-5 again. This time "Library" is included in the menu bar at the top. I select it and see my library. Whoop!

  9. I open a score. I go through Steps 3-5 again. The menu that appears does not include "Library". I'm disappointed.

  10. I search for answers in this subreddit. I find nothing.

So, anyone have ideas about what is going on? Is it the software? Some incorrect setting on my iPad? The User?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Just started getting MacOS to iPad/forScore PDF copy failure (unknown error -3234)

Hi. I'm trying to copy PDF files via MacOS Finder to iPad forScore over USB and an now getting these errors for every PDF file:

“ComeAround_Rhythm (E) (Rhythm-Bass) (sheet) (Marc Broussard) (Unsupv).pdf” could not be copied because an error occurred. An unknown error occurred (-3234).

This has just started since maybe 1-2 weeks ago when I last copied PDFs from MacOS (via Finder) to iPad/forScore.

Everything (macOS/iPad/forScore) is at the most recent version.

Has anyone else hit this failure? (I can no longer copy my chart PDFs from MacOS to iPad ugh)
