Are you looking for a program that can both scan and playback your PDFs and printed sheet music? Then you\u2019ve come to the right place. With the power of ScanScore, you have both sheet music player<\/strong> software and a scanner.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we are delving into a tutorial;\u00a0 How to use ScanScore\u2019s Sheet Music Player.\u00a0 Keep reading to find out all of the essentials!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheet Music Player Basics<\/span><\/h2>\n

You can download our scanner and sheet music player online at this link<\/a>. Learning how to playback scores once they\u2019ve been scanned or imported into our program is simple! When you open up or import a scanned score, the sheet music player automatically appears. As you can see in the picture, the original score appears on the left, and the digitized score appears on the right.\u00a0 Today we\u2019ll be showing you how to use this sheet music player software with a sample of an Allemande from Bach\u2019s (flute) Partita in A minor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sheet<\/p>\n

Scanscore\u2019s Sheet Music Player operates similarly to other popular music software programs.\u00a0 To hear the score, simply press the arrow (play) button located on the upper toolbar.\u00a0 (You should find this button near the center of the toolbar). Let\u2019s take a look closer at the toolbar so that we can locate the sheet music players\u2019 start, stop, and rewind buttons.\u00a0 In the center of the top toolbar, you can find three circles.\u00a0 From left to right, here are the buttons; play, stop, and rewind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The play button is self-explanatory- click it and the music begins!\u00a0 Same with the middle (stop) button.\u00a0 When you click it, the music stops.\u00a0 But here\u2019s where it gets a tad bit trickier, so listen up.\u00a0 Simply hitting stop or play won\u2019t help you get back to the beginning on a long score.\u00a0 So that\u2019s when we need the third symbol in this section of the toolbar; rewind. The rewind button comes in handy when you are looking to go back to the beginning in order to restart the playback.\u00a0 The rewind button will always take you back to the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here are what the main three buttons look like more up close.\u00a0 To review; The button on the left is the play button.\u00a0 The middle is stop, and the third (right) is rewind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But you don\u2019t have to use only these three buttons.\u00a0 Want to start somewhere specific in your score? You can click on the note that you want the piece to start playing on.\u00a0 Simply hover your mouse over the right-hand score, and click where you want it to start.\u00a0 The note should turn blue, and blue lines on the left side of the other score will denote where you are. ( In our program, everything is mirrored.\u00a0 So if you do something on one side, the opposite side will be focused on.\u00a0 This allows you to keep your place in both sets of scores- How convenient is that?!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Are you ready for one last pro tip before we move on? You can also use the spacebar to start and stop the music, instead of using the mouse all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is just as easy (if not easier) to use this playback than on other sheet music players!\u00a0 With only three main playback buttons (and a simple shortcut) you won\u2019t have to fret over learning innumerable toolbar symbols like our competitors would have you do.\u00a0 Let\u2019s move on and chat about a few more key points relating to our sheet music player.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the Sheet Music Player to Catch Typos<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Tools\"<\/p>\n

You can use our playback tool to locate flaws in your score. It is much faster to recognize a sour note during playback than it is while glancing at staves upon staves in a large orchestral score.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you notice that the scan did not pick up some of the details or that you have made a typo,\u00a0 you can use the above tools to help fix the mistakes.\u00a0 To add slurs, click the eight-notes on the far right.\u00a0 Missing triplets or grace notes?\u00a0 The tools to adjust those are right next to the slur tool!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Missing rests can easily be added in with a click of the button.\u00a0 Just look to the left side, right below the sheet music player\u2019s tools.\u00a0 Accidentals (and even double-flats and sharps) can be edited into your score with the relevant symbols.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not finding the symbol you need, here\u2019s a pro tip.\u00a0 First, select the mouse symbol on the toolbar.\u00a0 Next, use your mouse to click on the following symbols: the quarter note, accent, T text symbol, bass clef, forte symbol, and repeat sign ( see top image for reference). The quarter note represents the option for note lengths, just as the accent represents articulations, the T for text (in order to add chords or lyrics), and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voila!\u00a0 Now look below.\u00a0 Did you notice that all the symbols that you could ever want (and more) appeared?\u00a0 There you have it.\u00a0 Once you catch misprints or other inaccuracies in your score, that\u2019s how to add items back in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perks Of ScanScore’s Sheet Music Player<\/span><\/h3>\n

This program allows you the perks of both digitizing software and playback!\u00a0 So don\u2019t spend all your cash on various programs.\u00a0 Save yourself time and money by getting this one. Listening to the music provides a faster way to edit the song- Play it back so you can hear when a note is off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have an aleatoric piece of sheet music but no record for it?\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry! You can scan it in and hear it through our music player.\u00a0 That\u2019s right, any piece of traditionally-notated music. We\u2019ve got you covered for just about everything, aside from Gregorian chants. (And who wants to hear a piece that is modeled after the same concept, over and over again anyway? Move over Pope Gregory, it\u2019s 2021!)<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Put in a Tempo<\/span><\/h4>\n

When I first started using Scanscore, I didn\u2019t think about the lack of tempo markings in my older scanned pieces, such as with Bach or Handel.\u00a0 When I hit the space bar to start playing, the notes started pouring out at lighting speed.\u00a0 Uh oh! Speaking of Bach, where is our tempo? Nowhere to be found! Here\u2019s how to put in a tempo so that the sheet music player knows how to accurately playback your piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to put in a tempo, you first need to right-click on the right-hand score.\u00a0 The second option you\u2019ll see is \u2018change tempo\u2019.\u00a0 Go ahead and click it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Now you can see that the preset for scores with no tempo marking is set to 120- That\u2019s a little fast for an Allemande!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to see the tempo inside the score, click \u2018add bracket\u2019 down at the bottom.\u00a0 For our Allemande here, I\u2019m going to set it to an easy-going 70 BMP. Select the pre-existing tempo and delete it, then type in the tempo you desire. When you have entered the tempo you want to be played back, simply hit ok. Lastly, click into the document again.\u00a0 The tempo should now appear on the left-hand side of the digitized score! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
