Ratings and Reviews
A big step forward for learners
As an intermediate level wind player who had started playing in a group the great challenge is to get enough controlled practice on my own to build skill and confidence. Playscore 2 has been like a small miracle, I can play along with a choice of instruments on the same staff or additional staffs at any speed (so really slowly at first), it recognises PDF copies nearly 100% depending on quality. I now go to my lessons much better prepared and my teacher and I get a lot more done. Every beginner to intermediate who plays using notation should get Playscore. The only thing missing is a counting in function but apparently this is coming soon.
It’s STIIL the best
I have been using PlayScore from version one! Probably at least five years. Have tried the more expensive apps but this one beats them all providing you stick with the most obvious aspects and that is of course the best flatbed scanning at 300 DPI. I agree it works taking a photo with your smart phone but it’s not as accurate. I also subscribe to competitive apps such as Newzik which of itself is an amazing program. Where this app beats other apps is that it scans and converts to a midi file instantaneously whereas other programs were require because into a “”live“ score taking some time on the apps servers I presume.
I cannot emphasise how responsive the developer is all the requests I’ve made over the years have eventually appeared and more recently. The ability to annotate has been extremely useful.
Developer Response ,
Thanks again. Glad you like the new features. Best wishes. Support@organumconsulting.com
Helpful developer
After searching around for a while, Play Score2 stood out from the crowd. A few issues such as not recognising multibar rests and sometimes a bar will play faster than it should. As a clarinet player it was good to be able to hear other instruments, clarinet in App sounds a tad too synthesiser for my liking, especially in upper register. Emails to developer are quickly answered. Helpfully community feedback will be taken onboard as this has potential to be an even better App. It is pricier than competition but seems worth it, an free version can be used by most.
Developer Response ,
Thanks! Please see the troubleshooting section if mistakes. Because you play a transposing instrument you will need to turn on auto-transposition when playing accompanied music. Support@organumconsulting.com
