PlayScore 2: Take Photos and it Plays Back! Music Learning App for Choir

[@grahamtwist]

What brilliant software - and a fabulous demonstration of its capabilities. Thank you, Titus, for this demonstration (and congratulations to the team who have developed this fantastic tool for musicians!).

[@PlayScore2]

Thank you Titus for this great video! :)

[@saxmanvince4319]

Wow! Thanks for the very detailed review. This is very useful for memorizing music when you're not near an instrument. Like on a train, or in bed if you're not sleeping

[@nicotjoelker]

Wow! This is a game-changer.

[@keithwalls6316]

It will also works on Apple Silicon Macs! It also works really well with Dorico for iPad. It's supposed to also work for Sibelius for iPad. It also works with StaffPad for the iPad.

[@saxmanvince4319]

Wow that's good to know.

top job cool beans

Very interesting. I wonder how its accuracy compares to similar products like Neuratron Photoscore or Capella Scan, both of which I found rather unhelpful since correcting all the mistakes often took longer than typing up the score myself.

[@peporgan]

I've used Photoscore in the past. The tech is still not perfect, but as I say with a good scan it will do a good job. I think this is better overall because of the tablet / mobile support.

[@stefan.schwarz]

@@peporgan I’ve just tested it myself by running the same score through PlayScore 2 and Photoscore. PlayScore achieved a much higher degree of accuracy. Apart from misinterpreting a couple of accent and articulation marks as octave symbols, PlayScore gave a note-perfect rendition of a relatively complex piece of chamber music.

Looks like a great programme to hear what obscure music I find on IMSLP sounds like. Btw, what is the instrument with the manuals with stops on a screen called? Looks like a synthesizer organ.

[@peporgan]

Are you referring to the instrument in the background? It's a digital organ (Hauptwerk software)

@@peporganyour channel is fabulous. I hope I get to hear your choir. This software is amazing. It’s a great tool for someone like me, returning to music after a decade. I have so much to learn. It’s also posing a question 🙋‍♀️. This highly affective AI is the mind of a future musical Android. Can you imagine 😮. A sort of advanced player piano. This tech gives me the courage to réengage classical piano studies on my own, as well es explore other instruments and styles. You also raised the observation that modern musical notation is very different today. Do you have a video explaining these distinctions? Was it primarily due to the popularity of certain instruments of the time? I shall see what I can find on the subject. Thank you 💕

I see you are using a Mac but does this works from a PC?

[@mannycepeda1]

Is there's a Desktop version of this or just the App

[@peporgan]

Macs can run iPad apps

[@richard135b7]

Great review! Does it work on an Amazon Fire tablet?

[@shrodingersman]

Hi can this allow you plug into midi on a digital piano, and check whilst you play, that you are playing the correct notes. For example, the notes turn green when you have pressed the correct key at the correct time?

[@JayCee-hw4zc]

Can you notate with your apple pencil?

[@charlesming7875]

How do I play three scanned sheets in succession?

[@christtheanchorchurch6053]

If the choral sheet music has two parts per staff, can the app separate and play each one?

[@peporgan]

Yes!

[@RosssRoyce]

No subscriptions. Ever. I’d pay a hefty price but NO SUBSCRIPTION LEACHES.

[@peporgan]

This one is worth it for me. It might not be for you.
