A focused digital sheet music engine built for live performance. Turn half pages with zero blind spots, keep hands on your instrument, and annotate cleanly with Apple Pencil.
Start 60-Day Free TrialEngineered around the three most critical friction points for performing instrumentalists.
Read ahead effortlessly across measure boundaries. Split your score horizontally so you can preview the top of the next page while still playing through the bottom of the current page—eliminating turn blind spots.
Never take your hands off your instrument. Seamlessly map Bluetooth and MIDI page-turner pedals (PageFlip, AirTurn, Donner, Chocolate) for instant, low-latency forward and backward half/full page steps.
Mark dynamic shifts, cuts, rehearsal numbers, and fingerings with low-latency stylus tracking. Toggle highlighters, colored pens, and score layers instantly without interrupting your practice flow.

StageScore operates with a strict offline-first architecture. We do not collect, transmit, inspect, or store your imported sheet music PDFs, performance notes, setlists, or personal files on remote servers.
All imported files and annotations remain sandboxed on your local iPad filesystem. Metadata backups store user-created annotation coordinates and setlist structures only, and are never shared with third parties.
StageScore does not include third-party tracking libraries or advertising SDKs. Anonymous crash logs are processed solely through Apple's native App Store analytics if enabled in your iPadOS system settings.
