I love the clear way you explain Forscore. Many presenters spent so fast, the understanding is lessened. Your good diction and not "racing" I was able to understand completely the first time! Thank you! You are a fine musician, and maybe that's the reason it's your instructions are so clear, because you actually use the tools you talk about. I wish you of someone would explain the steps of getting that PDF file to the iPad in Forscore! I have PDF scores on my Mac but have trouble getting them into Forscore. It is a simply step missing from Videos.
Hey, i have one question for U. how to hide measure bars above staff??
The UI in Forscore is junk. This menu should be available for any score. In any event, thanks for the tip!
Thanks for great videos. I just got my Korg microKey Air today and I can't get it to pair with my ipad. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Any suggestions?
Great to hear! Enjoy it! Have you tried downloading their app? Here’s their guide you might try: cdn.korg.com/us/support/download/files/7c456d3daad3b027197b3fda1f87dce7.pdf?response-content-disposition=inline%3Bfilename%3DBluetooth_MIDI_SettingG_E1.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf%3B#:~:text=Click%20the%20Bluetooth%20icon%20in,Device%20is%20ready%20to%20use.
Really nice video. But i have a question. I use a bluetooth pedal but i don’t know how to use the links with the pedal. I think it might be the possibility that the pedal could change the page or, if it detects a link, the pedal could execute that. Thanks.
Really very helpful. Thanks
Aug 29 2024. It looks like the archive was created but when I use the services:upload:backups and select the new archive to be saved to my Google drive, I get the 'working spiral for about 15 seconds. But when I go to my laptop to see if the file is indeed on Google drive, it is NOT there... ideas?
I don't know why I was having so much trouble understanding whole and half steps, thanks for the explanation
This was an incredibly useful video. I am a very new forScore user and found your channel while looking for help organizing my music. This video did not do that but you did mention you had another video that would. Just to clarify, I did learn a lot from this video about annotation, much I will be using in the future. Now on to learning about organizing. Thanks!
How do you get to properties?
Is there a way to add symbols that I use a lot up to where all of the lines are on top of the annotate bar?
This did not fix my issue. My tool bar is still missing.
Thanks, Josh - very easy, helpful and appreciated!!
The first line of the score always seems to be pushed back a bit, how do I make it match the length of the second line?
15 Min and nothing about MIDI ;-(
I really enjoy these tutorials. I am thinking of posting some videos of my own now. I've been using forScore for about 5 years and have thousands of bookmarks and hundreds of scores including many full books that I've scanned by hand. Needless to say I've learned a few tricks here and there while working with this amazing app.
when you archive your files manually into icloud, will the annotations show up in icloud too or just the score (without annotations)? Also, is it ok to archive each score one at a time into icloud as you receive them or is it better to wait until you have several scores to archive at once...or does it not matter? Thanks!
Josh, I use annotation stamps to add LH Fingerings to my guitar tablature. Is there a method for changing the font. Something like Arial would be easier to read.
Thanks for the suggestions and help. I have a problem using finger taps to turn pages. Sometimes the tablet goes blank and off when I tap the screen. Happened shortly after I started using during a service and now scared to use during church. I do have the gestures, but sometimes I still tap for page turns.(Haven't broke the habit of licking the finger before the page turn!) Not sure if this is a from Apple of ForScore. Thanks for any help.
Sorry to hear that! That’s quite frustrating. To help, are you using Performance Mode? That prevents you from seeing the tool bar (which avoid accidentally opening that when you meant to turn a page during a performance). Or in forScore’s settings, do you have Auto-Lock turned OFF? This overrides the iPads sleep function. Keeping this OFF will keep the screen on whenever forScore is open.
NOTE: the Face Gesture feature is only available for those with the forScore Pro subscription.
Thank you! I haven’t used facial gestures yet- I’ve made a habit with tap to turn. (Tried the air turn pedal for a bit but found it easier to just tap.) I got a new iPad a few months ago and now have the facial gestures option - my 2016 iPad didn’t support it. So, I’ve been looking into setting this up and appreciate all your tips! Thank you!
Happy to help! I was hesitant to get it at first, but now I love it!
This video was very helpful. The only thing I absolutely couldn't figure out from your video was - After typing text and getting out of keyboard mode, how do I grab the text, move it and modify it?? Thanks in advance!
When you enter annotation mode, the text will have a circle on each side. The left circle will let you move the text if you tap and hold on it. To modify the text, tap in the middle of the text (still in annotation mode) and the left circle will disappear, but the right circle will now have three horizontal dots in it. Tap on those 3 dots and a menu will pop up with Format as an option, which will allow you to modify/edit the font, size, color, etc. Hope that helps!
A timely video! This happened to me yesterday, and it was driving me crazy, so thank you for this simple and short explanation as to what’s happening, and how to fix it. Thank you! It is odd that a new window behaves differently than a main window, you think it would be the same…
Glad it helped!
Hi. Great video. How do you rearrange the order of songs in a set list? I keep trying to drag and drop into place but it’s not working.
When in a Setlist, tapping and holding *should work but I also struggle to get it to work that way half the time. Instead, if you tap on Edit at the top right of the Setlist, three horizontal lines will appear at the right of each song. Tap and Hold on the 3 lines to move a song up or down in the list. I find this way works much better. Hope that helps!
Thanks for this series of videos. I've been using ForScore at a very basic level for years. But your vids open the range of possibilities. Also, our church's worship team is considering "going digital" and using iPads, and your videos are quire helpful.
Great to hear! I highly recommend it for your team! My church does, and it's very helpful when we're all using Planning Center to all make sure we're using the correct songs/key each week. Plus the new iPad Airs are fantastic at 13" without the cost of needing the Pro: amzn.to/4cXqAms Plus it's currently on sale at Amazon with their Prime Days coming up! The 11" is also great if you're on a budget (saves you $166 per iPad) amzn.to/3LkGc7K
I couldn't find help for this problem with my forScore pro account - forScore didn't respond (i know they are busy) and face to face encounters at music stores resulted in blank faces. NOW I found this little post on youtube and HOORAY! the FIX is in. Thank you very much Dr. Ring.
Hooray! Glad to be of service!
Thanks! I have the pro version of forScore and I was set to ditch it FOR THIS PROBLEM when I saw your post! Thank you.
THANK YOU so much! I really appreciate your kind words and support!
Thank you very much Josh. This happened to me a few times and I didn’t know how to get out of it. Sometimes I started anew but it still was not on the normal screen. Now I know how to get out of that awkward situation. Thanks man!!!
Absolutely! So glad to be of help!
If you have to play outside, I would add another 'must' for an iPad: an anti-glare screen film. In bright light, it takes you from almost unreadable to perfectly serviceable. At the same time, the battery pack is a must as the screen will be at max brightness the whole time. I have used a whole battery in one concert finishing on 3%! One more thing is beware of temperature - in bright sun, the iPad can overheat and switch off mid gig. It happened to me but, fortunately, I was one of two bari saxes playing (sax octet) so could share his sheet music..... Cheers!
Oh, good call! I rarely play outside so I didn’t even think of that. Do you have an anti-glare screen film you’d recommend? Thank you for your ideas!
@@Josh-Ring Sorry, no. Just a google and picked the one that looked reasonable! I've not got the original packing anymore. FYI, I use the half page turn and, as I play standing up most of the time, I always angle the pedal so that the 'next page' paddle is nearest to me. When you go for the turn, you know you are going to hit the right one. Of course, there is always when you accidentally press it twice... 🤣
Very helpful. I'm new to forScore and I'm wondering if there is a good way to exit annotation mode. When I click on the check mark, it looks like it's not in annotation mode, but when I touch the screen to get the main menu back, it puts me back in annotation mode. How do I REALLY get out of it?? Thanks.
Are you using an Apple Pencil to touch the screen after exiting out of annotation mode? That check mark is the way to truly exit annotation mode, but if you’re using an Apple Pencil, forScore has a setting to automatically enter annotation mode when tapping with an Apple Pencil. Or you should check your Gestures under Settings to see what “multiple finger” tap or “press and hold” Gestures you have set. You might accidentally be activating a Gesture to enter annotation mode.
I really enjoy your videos, specially the methods and shortcuts for learning triads. Do you have any books that you can recommend for this, yours or from other authors?
Here's two of my favorite resources, plus they're FREE! www.musictheory.net/ musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/MusicTheory.html
I am new to ForScore and I have been annotating fingerings onto some scores. Anytime I share to a PDF for printing (or saving), the annotations disappear. Any thoughts on this?
When you choose to share a score, the first options are "PDF", "Annotated PDF", and "4SC". I'm guessing PDF is the option you're choosing, but the "Annotated PDF" option is the one you'll want to share your annotations. The 4SC is a forScore file, which means if you share it with another forScore user, they'll be able to erase/edit your annotations. The "Annotations PDF" option saves the annotations permanently on the PDF.
@@Josh-Ring thanks Josh! I figured that it was a simple over site on my part.
Watch out for Apple Pencil compatibility! If you have a newer iPad, turns out the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil might not be compatible, so the Apple Pencil Pro might be necessary after all. Check for Apple’s compatibility here: support.apple.com/en-us/108937 Get the Apple Pencil Pro here: amzn.to/4b5QgMb
can you advise which ipad to buy for this program. i have a nord that i will use it with. i plan to put on a stand for live play. thanks so much for your video
Thanks, so glad it was helpful! If price isn’t an issue, definitely go with the latest iPad Pro 13-inch (M4 chip) amzn.to/4eqCXZG If that’s too expensive, the 13-inch iPad Air (M2 chip) is also great: amzn.to/3KL5xHJ For just forScore, I don’t think you need a giant hard drive. The typical 256GB on both models is fine. Wi-Fi only is also enough (no need to splurge on Cellular versions). Hope that helps! Enjoy!

So dang cool I searched for how to do something in Forscore and one of my college classmates is the top result. Great job. I didn't see my particular issue, rotating a score 90 degrees (someone scanned the PDF oddly). Turns out you pointing me towards the toolbox had me poke around until I found the rotation under "Rearrange". Still a fantastic video and I learned plenty.
Thanks, Patrick! Glad you were still able to learn from the video. And what a great idea for a future video!
FYI, Apple Pencil 2nd Gen won't work with the latest iPad Pro (M4) and Air (M2) models and require the Apple Pencil Pro because of the redesigned front camera layout.
Oh no! Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea the Gen 2 was becoming obsolete already…
Pageflip butterfly pageturner is my favourite now after using airturn. Compared to airturn my experience is more stable connection with iPad and more solid design using pageflip butterfly.
amzn.to/3x6Sv45 ^ is this the one you have? This would be my other recommendation for sure. Def a great design and very compact! My main reason for liking the AirTurn more was the Butterfly felt more like a button I had to press, whereas the AirTurn feels more like it senses the compression/flex movement. I’m curious, do you mind if I ask what kind of connection issues you had with your AirTurn? I’ve been using them since 2013 and have never had an issue. The old design was a little clunky in terms of one button controlling everything (I hated turning it off without accidentally resetting it 😂) and the cables weren’t as strong as the DUO500.
Page flip for stability, ease of use and reliable page turns
@@Josh-Ring Yes, this is the model I'm using. And regarding your experience with AirTurn where it feels more like it senses the compression/flex movement, I would say that the Pageflip is giving this same experience. For now anyway, I do like to use the PageFlip. I also did some try out with boss fs-1-wl but on stage it turned out that the buttons are to small to accurately press the right button. For home / studio practise it is ok but not for stage performance. And well, it is all about preference. If you like AirTurn and it works for you, just stick with it :-)

thank you! I found it really helpful!
Thanks so much, great to hear!
perfect!! 👍🏻 Just exactly what I was looking for. Love it
Great to hear! Glad I could help 😊
Thanks for this info, Josh! Do you recommend (or have you tried) the forScore backup utility where you plug in the ipad to the computer and save that way?
I actually haven’t done it that way, so I can’t speak to it much. The reason I prefer saving it to the cloud is so that 1) you can always access it (in case your computer isn’t with you) and 2) so in case something happens to your computer. But saving it in as many places as possible isn’t a bad thing so you could always save it to the cloud and to your computer!
I have it set to "Sync with iCloud". But when I try to look for the file, where do I exactly go in iCloud to find the backup file? Thanks.
Great video - very informative. Possibly it’s on the list you mention but - at least for those of us on the other side of the pond (UK and Ireland) - the one traditional song that I was given as an example of 6/8 is “My bonnie lies over the ocean, my bonnie lies over the sea..”.
Great suggestion - thank you for sharing! That's a great one I hadn't thought of. I'll need to add it to a future version of the list =)
This is a lovely explanation, thank you :)
Glad it was helpful! =)
Someone that doesn't know about music theory here, isn't 3/4 and 6/8 sort-of the same thing? Couldn't a composer decide that one of his 3/4 pieces is 6/8 and be technically correct? Edit: thanks for the answers!
different metre
@@TheNewslandian different what (I use the metric system I just dunno what you meant)
meter is your answer here. for example, a song in 3/4 is usually felt as 3 quarter notes, which can be further subdivided into 3 groups of 2 eighth notes. 6/8 is usually meant to show 2 groups of 3 eighth notes. the difference can be felt by comparing a waltz time vs a song like “maggot brain” by funkadelic. in the former, you can feel the three separate pulses. in the latter, there are only two. so technically, they can represent the same music (6/8 can also show the same feel as 3/4), but 6/8 allows clarity in representing 2 groups of 3 rather than 3 groups of 2. hope that helps
Often times too, the harmony will match up with the downbeats. Not always, but a composer will often have the chord changes match up with the downbeat. And yes, as the others have comments one m. of 3/4 will often have 3 stronger pulses (3 quarter notes as beats), where 6/8 will more often have only 2 stronger pulses (the 2 dotted-quarters as beats). Technically the 3/4 still does have 6 8ths, but the emPHAsis is on a different syLLAble =)
Ohh, that makes sense now. So 3/4, 3 points of emphasis, 6/8, 2 points of emphasis.. I was thinking of the song meter as too objective of a thing, like "this song is objectively 3/4 and cannot possibly be considered 6/8" when that doesn't seem to be the case from what I gather. Thank you everyone for answering!
Great video! One more method is to listen to melodic phrasing. It's not always clear but it can give us hints.
Thanks so much! And yes, great method that often helps too =)
i can not for the life of me make my forscore on IPad go into landscape mode
Is your screen orientation locked? Do other apps also not go into landscape mode? In the top right corner, swipe down to open the Control Center and then make sure the lock with a clockwise arrow isn’t on: support.apple.com/guide/ipad/change-or-lock-the-screen-orientation-ipad997da805/ipados
Sorry Josh I couldn't follow you. You mention a gear I didn't see it. You said by my name on the left but your name was on the right. Then the screen jumps to next view And I don't know now you got there.
So sorry about that! This video was before I learned how to have a cursor on the iPad screen to follow... Something that may help is slowing the video down. Here's a link that explains how to do it if you don't know already: support.google.com/youtube/answer/7509567?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop#:~:text=Go%20to%20a%20video.,like%20the%20video%20to%20play.
Perfect. I am going through all your forscore videos. reat that you made several so you can spend more time on certain areas.
Glad you like them, and great to hear how helpful they are for you!
When I tried to download your free guide I got a microsoft warning was unsafe. FYI
Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it. Since I do this on the side with no income coming in yet, I have to use free options to send the guides for now. =)
