Score Reader for Mac

This is the performance software I've always wanted, but never had. So I wrote it. With my very own hands.

Score Reader makes it incredibly easy to practice and perform music with electronic backing tracks (what we used to call Electroacoustic Music, or just “tape pieces", as we used to call it in the old days).

Simply install the software, and then just install any of the supported Score Reader pieces on my site (see below for list), fire up the app, and you'll be good to go. This download comes with one free piece pre-loaded (Ten Children #1) so you can see how it works.

Here are some of its really cool features:

• Integrated high-resolution sheet music, synchronized with the backing track. It even turns pages automatically.
• Backing track speed can be adjusted, and slowed down to up to 50% of normal tempo (for practice), in real-time.
• Adjustable measure overlay shows which measure the track is currently synchronized to.
• Integrated audible metronome with separate volume control and mute.
• Separate, synchronized visual metronome.
• Control the software remotely with your tablet, phone, or even another computer — your laptop can be backstage while you control the show from your mobile device.
• Bluetooth or wired speaker capability. (Wired is preferable for stability, but Bluetooth speakers work perfectly.)

If you have previously purchased any of these pieces, contact me and I will send you links to the snazzy new version that is supported by the software.
