"forScore has completely transformed my performance career. I used to lug around three heavy binders for every gig, but now my entire library fits in my iPad. The ability to link repeats and use a Bluetooth foot pedal for hands-free page turns is a game-changer during intense orchestral sets. It's the most reliable tool in my kit."

"As a teacher and student, the annotation layers are indispensable. I can keep my personal practice notes separate from the markings I make for my students. The integrated metronome and pitch pipe mean I have everything I need for a productive lesson in one place. It's the gold standard for digital sheet music."
