Your sheet music. Your style. Organize and edit your sheet music, then perform with ArcaLyra – now with customizable colors, backgrounds, and your own designs. ArcaLyra is a digital sheet music app for musicians who want to use their music flexibly, stay organized, and leave paper clutter behind. The app replaces traditional paper-based workflows with a customizable digital system for practice, rehearsals, and performances. ArcaLyra combines an organized library, editing tools, annotations, setlists, and customizable autoscroll in one clear interface. Your sheet music, edits, and settings remain stored locally on your device. No user account, no cloud-storage requirement, no advertising, no cross-app tracking, and no user profiling. AUTOSCROLL FOR SHEET MUSIC ArcaLyra can scroll through your sheet music automatically, so you no longer have to turn pages constantly. You decide how the page moves and which settings work best for the way you play. Autoscroll can be used together with audio playback. You can also scroll manually or control page turns with a foot pedal if that suits your setup better. EDIT DIRECTLY IN THE APP Edit your sheet music directly in ArcaLyra. Add annotations, symbols, and text, adjust pages, and prepare your music exactly the way you need it while playing. The tools are intentionally kept clear and accessible, so you can make changes quickly without getting lost in complicated menus and return your focus to the music. LIBRARY AND SETLISTS Organize your sheet music using titles, parts, ensembles, and setlists. This keeps even larger collections clear and manageable. Fast search and a structured library help you find the right piece at any time. Create setlists for rehearsals or performances and switch between different musical settings without losing track of your music. DISPLAY AND READABILITY Customize colors, themes, and the overall display to suit your setup, surroundings, and personal reading preferences. Clear visibility was a central goal throughout development, ensuring that important annotations remain easy to recognize while playing. PRIVACY FROM THE GROUND UP ArcaLyra does not require a user account. Your sheet music, edits, and settings remain stored locally on your device. There are no advertisements, no cross-app tracking, no user profiling, and no automatic synchronization of your sheet music or edits. Subscription and access verification, the public development section, and strictly limited aggregated usage statistics process only the technical data required for those functions. SUBSCRIPTION ArcaLyra is actively developed and will continue to expand over time. Your subscription supports ongoing improvements, new tools, and the continued development of the app. The goal is to create a digital sheet music environment that supports musicians in real-world use: during practice, in rehearsals, and on stage. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Eligible new subscribers can try ArcaLyra free for 14 days. Continued regular access after the trial requires a separately purchased auto-renewable in-app subscription.

What’s New in Version 1.1.1 ArcaLyra is receiving one of its most extensive updates yet – with many more ways to customize the app and numerous improvements for editing and viewing your sheet music. • Improved Main Menu The main menu now uses flexible vector graphics, allowing for much more extensive customization. Its familiar layout and design remain unchanged, now complemented by subtle animations. • Make ArcaLyra Your Own Freely customize accent colors, light and dark interface elements, and backgrounds. You can use your own images, move and scale them, adjust their saturation and brightness, invert them, or hide the background completely. Portrait and landscape orientation, as well as Rehearsal and Concert Mode, can be customized independently. Up to ten complete designs can be saved as presets. • More Options for Editing Sheet Music The sheet music editor remembers your most recently used tools, sizes, and positions. Music symbols, text, slurs, and dynamics hairpins can be placed and edited more precisely. A magnifier helps with accurate positioning. Sizes, colors, and highlighter opacity remain saved even after switching pieces or restarting the app. • Add Measures and Repair Scans Measure snippets can be duplicated, freely rotated and reshaped, placed across two pages, and cut out with a transparent background. The new Magic Eraser in Snippet Mode lets you remove unwanted content directly from the original sheet music page. New free-form staves, including curved ones, are ideal for neatly completing distorted or faded scans. • Better Cropping and Organization A new device preview shows you while cropping how the finished sheet music page will look later. The Page Editor offers larger previews, improved touch targets, and displays rotated or landscape pages in the correct proportions. With Multi-Import, you can review every piece in full before importing it. • A Smoother Sheet Music View Auto-scroll now stops reliably at the current position when paused. Single Page View offers larger page navigation controls, quick previews, and swipe gestures for turning pages. Page transitions can be displayed with or without animations. Concert Mode now also allows you to switch directly to the previous piece. • Display Stays On While You Play As long as ArcaLyra is being used in the foreground, the display remains on. Only after six hours of complete inactivity may the device turn off the screen automatically again. • Improved Usability Across All Devices Buttons, toolbars, and text have been adjusted to the safe screen areas of different devices. PhotoScan now includes clearly visible shutter buttons, while new and updated tutorials explain the most important features step by step. Version 1.1.1 also includes numerous improvements to performance, loading times, visuals, storage, and stability.
