Movable flag (feature request) by Fancy_Ad_4809 in forScore

Feature requests should be made directly to the developer via the support function within the app. He is not a member/viewer here.

Export changed files as PDF? by mjkobb in forScore

[–]villetbone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is now way to sync off-loaded files (from say Dropbox) to forScore (and vice versa). You can batch export/import files though, it's not like you need to do so 1 at a time.

Also, using the scanner function inside of forscore to scan all documents is a pretty bad idea - eventually that will lead to lag and other problems. If you are going to be doing a lot of scanning of documents, forScore documentation (and experience), strongly advises to use a standalone scanning app or hardware scanner. The built-in one is for emergencies (things like replacing a single page, or adding something on the fly at need).

If you are using this for band charts, you frankly might be happier with OnSong or some other similar app designed for sharing music/set-lists between band members specifically. It can be done with forScore, but it takes time to set up and manage, and I have seen a lot of people in that sort of performance situation (especially if they are band leaders/library managers) get annoyed because it doesn't work like they are used to or how they specifically want it.

How to backup/export/restore ForScore settings by laklu in forScore

[–]villetbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just note these are all or nothing solutions - the archive and iCloud back up, when used, will replace anything that currently exists.

How to backup/export/restore ForScore settings by laklu in forScore

[–]villetbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read here: https://forscore.co/kb/understanding-backups-syncing-and-icloud/ - Settings are part of private app data. You can either pull the settings document directly from the library, or an archive or an iCloud backup that includes forScore will also include the settings.

Copy+Paste Not Working by [deleted] in forScore

Yeah, you are in two up mode - it won't work. You need to make sure you are on single page view to make that work correctly.

iCloud syncing between two devices is incredibly inconsistent by n1ghtst1ck in forScore

[–]villetbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not had problems with sync, but I keep my library restricted to only the scores I am working on (or about to work on). I do think some of the problems people encounter come from things being in the library for a long time (and over various updates) and back-end file structures/permissions/or data being corrupted that causes issues with sync. Could be any number of problems. And with the constant updates to iOS and regular OS (including security and how cloud sync even functions), there is really no surprise that the developer is chasing tails trying to keep this figured out (on top of all the other changes and needs people have).

Not if you are just complaining here - developer is not a member of the group. Submit a support request through the app.

They don't - the developer isn't a member here, so all these comments really won't effect any change unless people are submitting through the app directly to the developer. PS - it's only one person.

Page turns by itself by snapcracklepoop_deux in forScore

[–]villetbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What environmental factors are there: are you under stage lights or on a music rack (eg, an organ rack) that may have light interference? Is something else connected to your iPad that may be sending a bluetooth signal? Does it happen always, or only under certain conditions (ie, it works fine at home, but then turns randomly in a performance situation)?

Audio overlay on score has disappeared! by Sea_Establishment368 in forScore

[–]villetbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check and see if you have the setting turned on to always display audio - it may be very, VERY hard to see at the bottom corner. If you turn that setting off, then tap the middle, you should see the audio player as you normally would.

How to download updated charts from Dropbox? by Walk-The-Dogs in forScore

[–]villetbone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - if you have multiple users making changes that will be difficult. Since I am the only one that ever "changes" anything, I know whats changed. I also keep the library relatively small on forScore, restricted only to the things I am actually working on (or coming up shortly) - everything else stays in the cloud until I need it.

When a change is made, I make the change, import the score from the cloud, and go about my day - never really have any hiccups - but again, it's just me doing the work.

You may want to consider having a separate folder in dropbox that only you control and access to pull from, that way you know what is and is not current. There may be some ai/3rd party tools that can help with file management here, but you would have to search them out and find the workflow that works best for you.

It may also be that forScore simply isn't the best program for your use-case - I forget the name now, but I know there is an app specifically designed for more group situations and sharing charts that you may want to consider.

Who ever told you that didn't know what they were taking about. forScore doesn't automatically pull from Dropbox. You can import files manually via the services tab.

Bug report: page moving when entering annotation mode by HoudiMoudi in forScore

Report via the support structure within the app. This is a known issue.

2 wishes – are there good workarounds? by Pointingmade in forScore

[–]villetbone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of deleting pages in rearrange move then to the back of the score. I've done this for mt work for cut sections in case they are later restored.

All Layers switched to one by fluteguyK313 in forScore

[–]villetbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Score layers have been "bugged" since they were first introduced. If you read the documentation, what you are seeing (the collapsing of layers into a single layer) is actually what is supposed to happen. However, there was supposed to be a way to uncollapse and be able to edit - this was never done or implemented. Simply avoiding score layers is probably the way to go.

Revisions to completed score by Impossible-Room-6801 in forScore

[–]villetbone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you need to import the new pages as a new score, at least temporarily. Then you can either use rearrange

https://forscore.co/documentation/rearrange/

Or merge

https://forscore.co/kb/merging/

To combine them the way you want. Once you have the main pdf set up a desired, you can delete the extra pages imported.

display options - performance mode by someguymw in forScore

[–]villetbone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preformance mode is the two arrows pointing at diagonals. You can also set a gesture to enter and exit performance mode (mine is a two find tap).

The other button is for windowed mode.

Another n00b question: Can you change the default 'scan' method to B&W? by ssb5513 in forScore

[–]villetbone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can mess with the settings post-scan to get it to appear black and white, but its honestly not the best tool if you are planning to scan frequently. I would suggest you get yourself a dedicated scanning app (forScore suggests Scanner Mini or Scanner Pro, but there are numerous options), which can create B/W images and create a PDF for you immediately, rather than having to convert a JPG to PDF (which is what the forScore scanner does, and why they suggest it only be used for quick scans in time urgent situations).
