Create sheet music on ipad

Is it possible to print sheet music from songs created on the iPad?
If so, how is it done? Is there a "print sheet music" option on the iPad App, or is it doable by exporting the track to Garageband on the Mac, andthen print sheet music from here?

Such a feature is not included. Also no Midi options.
There are other Music production apps available that might help you, but not with Garageband as it features only on creation of sound.

Is there a way to tie to iPads together so that when you turn a page with a tap on one, both iPads turn a page. I am using the ipad to replace piano sheet music. The challenge is that ordinary sheet music is on both a left and right page.

We are trying to use an ipad to replace ordinary paper sheet music on a piano. When truning ordinary paper pages, it is sometimes hard to grasp one page, turn it quickly and get it to stay turned. The idea with using an ipad is that a tap turns the page, it stays turned. However,,,,,ordinary sheet music is on both left and right pages. With one turn you get 2 new pages. The ipad, being smaller results in only one page and therefore twice as many page turn taps; more taps equals less hands on the piano. If we could tie 2 ipads together and get them both to turn the page simultaneously it would be nice. We are trying to get used to using the ipad. We are using ForScore app to get sheet music into the ipad; we could load one with odd pages and one with even pages. Maybe this is getting too complicated.
Anyway to tie 2 units together

No way to control one device from the other. But, according to ForScore, you should be able to display two sheets side by side in landscape mode (2-up view)? Not sure if that helps as it must make the actual print smaller to do so.

Hello MacBook Pro Musicians- I cannot read sheet music from the ipad. It is too small. I want to connect a large monitor, hopefully wirelessly to my 13 inch macbook pro. what would I need to connect ? Any suggestions on how to keep monitor from falling?

Hello Macbook Pro Musicians--I cannot read sheet music from my 13" macbook or from an IPad. The print is too small for these aging eyes! So I need to get a large monitor to attach to the Macbook. I want the monitor to be connected wirelessly or using a blue tooth. This will eliminate alot of potential mishaps
when playing out. Also I am having a time figuring out how I am going to safely keep the monitor on somekind of music stand without falling!!! Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Julius,
As you can see in my profile section, my MBP is older by 5 years, 2GB RAM and with regards to question 1 (Q1), has no problems with having all those programs open at the same time with the possible exception of Photoshop since I use Gimp instead. With twice the RAM and much overall much better specs, Photoshop shouldn't be an issue. But you listed some other activities that might need that additional RAM. But the advise most give is to not get it from Apple but from a third party.
Q5 - I always get Apple Care. Only had to use it once but it paid for itself that one time.
Sorry, can't help you much with the questions you really want answered since I won't have a new MBP until (hopefully) next week but for Q4, I believe it depends on the peripheral. My current monitors are too old to allow them to be hooked up in a chain. Supposedly, if the monitors do have the ports, you could via the MBP Thunderbolt port. The speeds are also dependent upon the peripheral. If the external hard drive is using a USB 2 port, you are limited by that speed (480 Mb/s). If it has a Thunderbolt port, then from what I understand, we, my friend, are in for some great times because I believe your RAM will have the ability to access data as fast as it can take it at 10Gb/s (and if will need those kinds of speeds, the 8GB of RAM may be the way to go). The Thunderbolt demos on YouTube where they are accessing four video files from a Raid drive, then sending them back out via Final Cut Pro to a monitor are amazing. I'll probably never push this machine to anywhere near it's limits but I can't wait to see what others do.
Peace,
Jeremiah

How does the iPad 2 rate as a sheet music display?

Hi, I am a pianist, and I am looking for something that removes the worry of Sheet music falling off the stand in a rehearsal or concert. I'm considering getting an iPad 2 to address this. I know there are a number of apps out there such as forScore, which allow you to read PDFs of sheet music, but I have no idea how effective they are. I have a friend who was in the same situation as me. He used an original iPad to display his music, but complained that it was nowhere near responsive enough with page turning to work effectively. Is there anyone reading this who is currently using an iPad 2 to read sheet music? If so, which app do you use, is it effective and would you recommend it? Many thanks.

I'm not a concert muscian. However, I've used my iPad for piano music. It worked fine for me. I believe the app I used is called Etude. However, I don't recall if you can import your own music into that program or not.
The other issue I can see is that the iPad is, compared to sheet music, rather heavy. It's fine on the music stand of a piano. It would probably be okay on one of the music stands I used to use when I played in an orchestra (they were black metal). I think, though, that it wouldn't be trustworthy on a folding music stand. If sheet music falls to the floor, you just pick it up. If an iPad falls down, it might break.
Best of luck.

Entering notation from sheet music to create accompaniment tracks

I just accepted a junior high/high school vocal music teaching position for the upcoming school year. The school does not have a full time accompanist so I had planned on using Finale Print Music to put sheet music into the program and save the files to use during my rehearsals. This works well for rehearsals but I'm wanting something better (more instruments) for performances - especially for the school musical as I will not have an orchestra (it's a small school). I got to thinking today that Garage Band might sound better than Finale. My husband recommended using Logic Express (which we have) instead because it has more features that Garage Band.
Anyway...I've been trying to figure out Logic today (I'm pretty good with computers) and have been struggling with the best way to input notes. I have a Roland digital keyboard but struggle with just recording because my piano skills aren't great.
When I try to use Score Editor the problem I keep getting is that even though I click on an eighth note (using the pencil tool), it shows up in the staff as a different type of note (quarter note, sixteenth note). I would like to be able to enter chord by chord as well (for entering piano notation).
I have tried to search these discussion boards but have not been able to find a solution. I guess the main question is: will this program (Logic Express) do what I want it to do (create background accompaniments) or am I wasting my time trying to learn something new (or could you recommend something better/easier). I have a lot of music to create accompaniments for before the school year starts and could use any advice you could give me.
Thanks!
Christina

Logic Express 7 can certainly do everything you need, although upgrading would help (but I don't want to suggest you spend money unnecessarily).
I have manuals for Logic Pro 7 & 8, but not for Express 7, so I can't say exactly what will be in there, but I would guess there will be a great deal of information regarding using scores, since this is a big area with a huge number of options.
The main issue is that Logic is primarily a music performance & recording application, so although it has excellent scoring facilities, the object of the exercise from Logic's point of view is to allow the score to look right without affecting the recorded performance. The performance comes first; then the score can be tidied up to look right.
This is exactly the other way round from Scoring applications such as Finale.
The advantage is that you're right; Logic will provide better sounds than Finale. The disadvantage is that it isn't so easy just to put score in & have it sound good; although you can input the score directly, it's easier in the long run to perform the parts & then adjust the scoring.
With regard to inputting the wrong note values: there are lots of options that govern what gets put in when you input notes directly, including Quantise & Rest Quantise values. You will need to go through all these options, preferably with the manual; but it should be quite straight forward once you've got started.
If any of this sounds at all off-putting, it isn't meant to! Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you're underway, it will start to get more fun & more productive. Good software always has a learning curve, & a learning curve is always steepest at the bottom.
Good luck, & if you have any other specific questions, just ask.
P.S.: if you have work already done in Finale, then if you export it as SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) you can open these in Logic. Don't Import them, though; opening them preserves more information. You can easily copy Regions between Arrangements once you've got them into Logic.

How can I view my compilations in Music on iPad?

How can I view my compilations in Music on iPad?

I just have albums and songs in my Music library, so I'm not sure what the issue might be. Hopefully, someone who creates compilations will have an answer for you.

Sorting sheet music by song number

I have sheet music in individual scanned files. I can sort them by name, date modified, file size and file type. Except for the file name, I want to manually/individually change the items in any of the above columns so I can enter the song number and be able to search by song name or song number. Thanks, Pat

Sorry but I can’t help with your specific question. But I’ve put some songs onto my iPad and would like to flip from page to page. However, many of my songs are on three pages and it’s take time to change from page to page via “Documents”.
Do you know how I can flip from page to page by touching the iPad screen?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Problem opening a sheet music file on Script Editor

I have sone sheet music files but when I try to open them I get an error message saying that the dictionary of the extension or application is not scriptable and then I get another message saying that the Script Editor cannot open files in the Script Editor Document format. I have no idea what that means. I think they're MUS files, if that helps at all. Thanks.

Hi tracy,
This forum is for discussion qnd questions regarding Apple's productivity application AppleWorks.
Your question will have a better chance of a knowledgeable response in one of the other forums on this site, or on a forum elsewhere for the application that was used to create these files.
The filename extension .mus is usually a Finale Music Score, created by one of the Finale Music family of applications. You can find out more about Finale using the link in this post.

Why are some "caf" files colored green and some blue. I need to change the blue (audio) file to a green one so that I can print the sheet music.

I've been trying for days to convert blue audio files (caf in garageband) to green files, so that I can print out the sheet music for that file. I've converted the "caf" file to mp3, wav, aiff, even midi - but nothing will load in garageband as a green file. I get them to load as blue audio files but not as green files. I know the difference between the blue and green files, but why do they both have "caf" extensions? I am trying to conver "piano ballad.caf" to something that will show up as a green caf in garageband. I can't believe there isn't someone who has been successful at doing this sort of thing.

Thank you, that was helpful, it has given me some avenues to explore. I have not used a command prompt for about a decade!
The command chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare does not seem to have worked.
When I use it, there is no error message but I cannot see anything additional in the other computer.
When I use chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare/rubbish I see an error message about the folder not existing (which it does not!) so the path is correct.
When I use chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare/MBP naming a folder that does exist and was created by this computer/user, it seems to have no effect either.
Looking at one source of OS X command line commands (http://ss64.com/osx/) I see that 'setfile' might do the trick (setfile v /volumes/Homeshare/MBP) but that command returns 'command not found'. It is apparently part of 'developer tools' ... which I do not have access to (AFAIK).
In both cases, would the commands work on existing files only, or would new files be visible, or even files copied into this space? Presumably, each person saving to this area would need to then give access via terminal (or a script). Am I right in this thinking? If so, how would I modify the properties of the drive so that they are the same as, for example, a memory stick?

Looking for help to print up sheet music of the songs and chords

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I just got a new imac a few months ago. I am writing songs for garage band and would like to print them up with the chords, so basically home made sheet music. I am new to Macs and usually try this with a Microsoft word document but it moves the chords around so that they are out of sync with the lyrics. There must be a professional program or template I can use to do this either on a Mac or a pc. I would appreciate any help.

I did a quick google and found some Windows-based programs you could buy to do that, but nothing for the Mac.
However, you ought to be able to do it in word (I do when I have to print chords w/ lyrics to play with a group). You just have to fiddle with the space bar and tab to line up the chord changes with the lyrics.
It might be easier if you use a fixed-width font like Courier.

Check the App Store. If not there, do a Google search.

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads?

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads? I have 23 iPads and I want to have all the folders match for easier access for students.

Here is a possibkle workaround, assuming the iPads are all starting out with the same initial content on them:
Backup that iPad to each computer you will be using. Then restore from the backup (only takes a couple minutes). Then rename the other 22 iPads.

Get error message when trying to print from Sheet Music Plus

I have Windows 8, Have installed Adobe Air and flashplayer, but when I try to do digital print from Sheet Music Plus I get error message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.

Wow, that's the first time I think I've ever seen that solution! Very happy you were able to get this solved. I'm not sure what would cause this to fail, maybe some sort of permission issue with the desktop folder? If you have a chance, would you mind emailing me ([email protected]) the following log file? I'd love to take a look and see if we caught anything with our error reporting.

My iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening. My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud.

My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud. Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.

The same thing is happening to me, Mail was fine about an hour ago and now is rejecting correct password. Typical when today I'm waiting some important emails!
