I’m glad for you that you’ve found an app that works for both you and your wife. I will say that the half page turn in ForScore works flawlessly for me, I’m not sure how such a simple function could be “disaster” so I’m curious what you found so objectionable about it. Audio can be linked to any ForScore file, how does that work differently, and assumedy better, than ForScore? I’m willing to learn!

BikerGuy,

Sorry I didn't see this until now.

So far as I'm aware, after asking 3 ForScore users, the FS 1/2 page function works as so:

Let's say you are reading a 2 page piece of music and there is a run that ends on page 1 and continues on page 2.  You would like to do a 1/2 page turn so that when you are reading the run at the end of page 1 you can seamlessly move on to the continuation of that run on page 2 without having to synchronize a page turn at the precisely correct instant.

So you press the foot pedal for a 1/2 page turn and the top of page 2 overlays on top of the beginning of page 1.  In other words, the top half of page 2 is at the top of your tablet screen and the bottom half of page 1 is on the bottom half to the tablet screen.

Aside from not being intuitive in any way, that requires that when you end page 1 your eyes have to jump up to the top of the tablet to read the beginning of page 2.

Why ???

Again I ask, what is the sense in requiring the musician to jump from the bottom of the tablet screen to the top of the tablet screen while trying to make the musical passage sound connected ?

It makes so much more sense to simply scroll page 1 and page 2 up 1/2 page so that your eyes to simply continue reading left to right as you move from page 1 to page 2.

For each of the ForScore users that I asked about the 1/2 page turn functionality of FS, they were in awe of how the 1/2 page turn worked in MS, and readily agreed that it makes so much more sense.

I suppose it’s really to each their own. To me moving my eyes from the bottom of one page to the top of the next is exactly the same action as reading music on paper, so it feels entirely intuitive. Granted I’ve never tried the method you describe.
