If the fingerprint annoy you have a look at things like dbrand skins to put on it to protect the aluminium and hide the fingerprints better.

For cleaning the trackpad (and the body) you can use 70% IPA on a micro fibre cloth or similar alcohol wipes. Will safely remove the oils from you fingers. Google apple cleaning with ipa and you will see they recommend it for cleaning the Mac just fine so it’s perfectly safe to do. I clean mine once a week with alcohol wipes no issues in years.

For my MacBook I use a micro fibre cleaning towel for normal glasses. It cleans the fingerprints easy and instantly away. 😊

Great video! So jealous of your new laptop (might have to steal it...)

Can't celebrate enough Elizabeth for your guidance. Continue to inspire us.

Awesome recs; thank you Elizabeth!

Are you available for further questions?

Elizabeth......I appreciate your work! My ipad and forscore are both quite new and your teaching is sorta dated. The app has changed so I'm hoping for an update from you. Thank you!

Hello Elizabeth ,I learnt the hard way about annotating on the pages and if you want to return the book.The new way I found was Any practise page ,take a duplicate or triplicate The original is always there. Duplicate one,do your annotations and reminders. Triplicate one,you take to teacher to class. Now same applies to Forescore. As you said,Foreshore and Andante are very valuable aids. Please do a video on Andante practise journal taking a nice eg from your student (without name) and who were meritorious in the exam. In this way students can learn how the journal will look if you want to top on music exams. Continue to inspire us.

Could you talk about your Mac and iPad workflow ?

Hello Elizabeth.Does Notion comes with the Ipad Air or should it be purchased separately best wishes.I listened to all your vidoes .I hope you got your dream house.

Love your cat. Thank you very much for this tutorial. 😊

Where's the new MacBook video???

I honestly think that Apple is foolish for pushing the iPad so close to laptop replacement territory without actually giving it MacOS. iPads are so hamstrung by the operating system system it's not even funny

It is not a bug. Apple Music has implemented a more strict DRM (Digital Rights Management) which does not allow to directly integrate music into 3rd party apps of any kind. This is due to new copyright protection rules that have been agreed on between most countries in the world in 2008. (due to many copyright infringements in the past). Neither Apple nor Forscore can/will change anything on this subject. Apple stopped selling any DRM protected songs already back in 2009. Technically you can therefore only use those songs within iTunes or Apple Music app, since only these apps can unlock the encrypted music files. You could use apps like TuneFab Apple Music Converter for example in order to to convert files that are unprotected and thus playable inside forescore, but be aware that this is not legal in most countries and you should not distribute such converted files in the internet or play them in public.

Thanks for sharing 😀👍 greetings from Colombia

A very interesting date night activity 😊

My Music Staff totally revolutionized EVERYTHING for me! You most likely have considered this, but just to mention it - a couple years ago a switched to a set monthly tuition for my students, so now they pay the same amount every month, MyMusicStaff sends invoices automatically on the 1st of each month for that amount, and I offer a discount if my students enable auto pay. I always hated invoicing time, figuring out who had how many lessons each month, and then sending the invoice, waiting for them to pay, wondering if it was too soon to remind a family when they hadn’t paid, etc etc. Now on the 1st, I just get all my payments at once while I am drinking my coffee! Huge!

Hi, many thanks for the video. My ForScore has stopped scrolling through all the songs in the set list. It will scroll though a piece but not skip to the next songs, any thoughts on why this may be happening?

Great video! It seems like My Music Staff is a lot more tailored for music teacher needs, and that Honeybook is suited more for larger slightly businesses

Were there ways to signify that a stufent paid in Cash on both Apps; I’m leery on using Web based Apps like these because a lot them are no longer making a place for “Cash Paymemts,” an option anymore as they are trying to push forward the “Cashless Society!”

Thank you for the informative video but can and how would you save this document, with however many layers, as a PDF with all of the annotations that were made?

Thanks for your review and being so brave and recording it as you show the difficulties with the AirPods and face recognition.

Plan to get an Air for sheet music and not having to carry music books around (ukulele). The 13" will help be able to see the muci too and lighter carry in my back pack. Thanks for the info.

First class review of the page turn software. Also, Bluetooth devices that are of a reasonable price.

How can I turn what I play on a guitar into sheet music

Very clear, and just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Very well done and helpful!

Great advice!!

I really love all kinds of music including popular music. Pop music is everywhere, and I don't see people clamoring for more classical music in popular music concerts. I would really prefer it if Taylor Swift sticks t what she's good at. When people go to a classical concert, it's because they love that music, and would probably stay away if the concert incorporated pop music. Not because they don't like pop music, but because it's not the right place for it.

How do I get out of the annotation bar i am so lost

Thank you. Didn’t know about repeat. ❤

actually what I want to do is use scans of praise and worship courses on my music stand when I am accompanying on my keyboard... and be able to flip through various pages of such things depending on what the chorus is requested for the day are...

Thank you Elizabeth, this is exactly the info I need with one additional request. My 73 yr old eyes have deteriorated to the point where my left eye is now 20/80 at best, thanks to glaucoma. Reading sheet music has become a real challenge but I'm not ready to quit the choir in my church. Since I am able to use "high contrast mode" or "color inversion mode" on my laptop and android phone I find the black background and white font to be the easiest to read. So I'm wondering if the devices you describe can "invert" a pdf file to that type of contrast. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again. KW in SC

Love, just love using the app, but I still can't get my head around microphone/quavers (eighth notes for 'Muricans) button and what it does, but your quick precis at least gave me an idea what to look for in the manual. And speaking of the manual it's the one thing that is severely bad for the TE Tuner - it has zero illustrations/screenshots which severely limits its usefulness. EDITED TO ADD: Turns out it's "Auto Reference Notes" like how the F were we supposed to know that without any screenshots (sorry, aimed at the developers, not you at all).

hi, I've been watching your videos about ForScore. I am new to ForScore and your videos have been helpful, thanks. I have run into an issue that I have been unable to solve and I wonder if you have a video concerning this or if you know the answer. I have done annotations on a score and when I share the file as a PDF for any purpose including printing the annotations disappear from the PDF. Any thoughts on this?

I'm kind of torn; I think it's cool that you can get even more functionality out of an already great app, BUT I think it's a shame that you need to pay more on top of the original payment for what should be features available to everyone. I guess the devs need to get their bag 🤷🏻‍♂️

I do have the pro and feel like I could have been more frugal as yourself. That said, I need to re watch videos as it seems really difficult for me to organize .. church song books, camp fire sing along types of books etc.. ... No all PDF file systems give forscore as an option to save to ,.,. so I have to import and not even sure where that goes when I do it and then have to fiddle around (pun intended) ... Thanks you..

So, will those peddles work with native apple applications (notepad, pages) and Google apps like Docs?

Thanks, very helpful. Look forward to more on the Android - Samsung Galaxy SE Ultra

Great video. Interesting take on the iPad models coming from professionals other than typical tech CZcamsrs focused on photography and videography! I have a question about a feature Apple just released that baffled tech CZcamsrs and that’s the new eye tracking feature for iPad. Is that a feature that could enhance or detract from reading sheet music?

i actually find double stops incredibly easy, it’s vibrato that i suck at.

I agree that the Bluetooth pedal is more reliable & more practical than AirPods or face gestures but unfortunately, a pedal is not an option for us that play pipe organ. Only 1 AirPod is necessary for page turning. Facial gestures are only available with 3rd generation & newer IPad Pro. However, mine is first generation so I was interested in whether it’s worth upgrading my iPad. From your review, seems like similar unreliability. Thanks. Ok forward to your review of forscore pro

After watching this, there's no way I'd risk screwing up a performance AND look ridiculous playing with an airpod in when I could just use a pedal instead. I was also especially disappointed in the winking gestures which literally didn't work at all! The mouth turning was okay, but it's just too risky.

FINALLY they made a big screen version of the iPad Air. I don’t need all of the fancy pro features, just the bigger screen.

Do you know if there is a way to make the staff lines darker?

I enjoy your videos. Thanks. I bought an iPad Pro because of the large screen size back in 2016 specifically for music to use with MuseScore. I also scanned in sheet music in pdf to play & used a simple pdf reader. Then I found ForScore which was & still is a revelation. I heard I could use AirPods for ForScore page turning when I started with pipe organ & promptly bought a pair for that purpose. So, although my Pro has a large screen, it’s never been large enough. I always wanted at least a 16” or 17” touchscreen but ForScore is IOS only & I also want no hands or feet page turning. I’ve not been totally happy with the AirPods head movement page turning & thought the newer IPads with front facing cameras with eye gestures would be more accurate. I haven’t seen all your videos as yet but do you have any regarding page turning effectiveness with AirPods vs newer Pros with a front facing camera? Anyways, my ideal music touchscreen device would have a screen size of 20” with page hand/foot free page turning using Forscore or another app equally good. Any suggestions?

Excellent merci. C'et cool de voir des demo par des gens normaux !

Would you make a video on organizing files in forScore? I try really hard to keep my libraries and set lists organized but they’re just such a mess from constantly adding new music for gigs and teaching multiple instruments.

Thank you for this video. You have confirmed for me that the iPad Air will work for me. I’m also looking for an app to download and read my sheet music without Wi-Fi. I don’t want to purchase anymore paper music. Do you have a recommendation?
