I've used an iPad Pro 12.9" with the Forscore app for everything from conducting orchestra concerts and musical theater productions to solos and chamber music since 2018. Given the lighting on a professional concert hall stage, the "glow" from the devices is not noticeable at all. Not distracting at all, in fact for the brass, as they were only using tablet stands, it made it so that none of them were blocked visually, which was nice to see. Just saw the Boston Symphony Orchestra play last Tuesday-a few folks using the iPad Pro 12.9. Gene Wie Edited: November 30, 2021, 6:46 PM I see that some used 12" iPads with 500 GB storage are available for about $600. Seems to be a real advantage for people who play lots of different music - and he does - at least 2 orchestras and 2 chamber groups every week. ![]() One violinist I play with moved to the "digital system" about 4 years ago. If nothing else, my printed music collection would be 2 cubic feet smaller. If the equipment now being used now had been available then and I had known I had at least 15 years of ensemble music-making ahead I would have been out there setting up my digital music storage/reading system the day after I first noticed Christopher Riley's setup. I just continued to collect music scores into that a successive laptops and print them. That inspired me to purchase a wired foot pedal to link to my newly acquired 13" MacBook - but I never linked them (a laptop - on its side - was not compatible with a portable music stand). I recall pianist Christopher Riley (host and accompanist on the PBS program "From The Top" circa 2006-2007) read music from a tablet (turning pages with a wire-connected foot pedal). ![]() The one thing you really do not want in a music tablet is unpredictable technology.Īndrew Victor Edited: November 30, 2021, 11:44 AM IOS is also a lot more stable and predictable in its performance and behavior. (I think this is rooted in Apple's better software for stylus input.) ![]() The Apple Pencil is vastly better than any Surface stylus, and you will feel that difference with every single annotation, especially when you're using this in a rehearsal and you need to be able to scribble something quickly and have it be readable. (And if for some weird reason you really loved MusicNotes, there's an iOS version anyway.) ForScore is an absolutely terrific app and keeps getting better.īut the app is really very much secondary to the differences between the Surface and the iPad Pro. MusicNotes is really designed more as a frontend to their sheet music store than as a full-featured app for managing music libraries from whatever source. Then I bought the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil.) I actually resorted to using my finger with ForScore on an iPad Mini over dealing with the Surface. (I got the Surface first it was a gift and I hoped to use it for music, but I hated it almost instantly. The iPad Pro with ForScore wins hands down.
