Features · version 3.6

Everything your ensemble runs on, in one app.

Parts by position

PDFs for the whole orchestra, a section or one position; each player sees only theirs.

Recordings next to the score

MP3, M4A, AAC or WAV with an in-app player, or a link to your cloud drive.

Scan paper parts

The phone camera finds the page edges and builds the PDF.

Which pieces the orchestra played, how often, by event type.

Sheet music, recordings and Wolfgang's score analysis (for a first rehearsal, a concert, sight reading or a competition) are included in the Professional plan.
