Turn pages

Turn pages by touch

With a score open:

• Tap near the left or right edge of the page — right edge turns forward, left edge turns back. Taps in the middle of the page leave it alone, so you can still pan and zoom normally.
• Swipe left for the next page, right for the previous one.

Double-tap the middle of the page to enter or leave fullscreen. There is no double-tap gesture near the edges — every tap there is a page turn.

Page turns play a short page-curl animation — forward curls the page over, going back un-curls it.

Note — If Reduce Motion is on in the iPad's own Settings (Accessibility ▸ Motion), pages switch instantly with no curl.

Two pages at once in landscape

Rotate the iPad to landscape and the reader shows a two-page spread — two pages side by side with a book-spine shadow down the fold, like an open score on the piano. One turn advances the whole spread, so you always land on a coherent left·right pair. Rotate back to portrait for a single page.

Turn pages with a Bluetooth pedal

Page-turn pedals — AirTurn, PageFlip, Donner and the like — pair with the iPad as a Bluetooth keyboard. Once paired, they turn pages with no extra setup in Page Turner.

1. In the reader, open the Toolbox and tap Bluetooth page pedal (in the Accessibility section).
2. Put the pedal into pairing mode — follow the pedal's manual, usually a long press until its light blinks.
3. Tap Open Bluetooth Settings, go to the iPad's Bluetooth list, and wait for the pedal to appear.
4. Tap the pedal to connect. It pairs as a keyboard.
5. Back in the score, the pedal turns pages.

Because a pedal is just a keyboard, any hardware keyboard works the same way: Right arrow, Page Down, or Space turn forward; Left arrow or Page Up turn back.

Note — While you're typing in any text field (a search bar, a name field), those keys type instead of turning pages. Close the field and the pedal takes over again.

Note — The Shortcuts list, next to the pedal row in the Toolbox, remaps the hardware-keyboard shortcuts for other reader actions (Metronome, Library, Focus Mode…). The page-turn keys themselves are fixed.

Turn pages with your face

Face gestures use the front TrueDepth camera to turn pages hands-free — a head turn or a chin lift while you play.

1. In the reader, open the Toolbox and tap Face gesture page turning.
2. Turn on Enable face gesture and allow camera access when asked.
3. Under Trigger gesture — pick one, choose the movement that turns the page: Mouth Open (the default), Eyebrows Raise, or Head Turn.
4. If you chose Head Turn, a Head Turn motion control appears below it — pick Tilt head left / right, Turn head (full, with chin), or Look up (chin up) to advance by lifting your chin.
5. Watch the Live signal meter while you rehearse the gesture: the page turns when the green signal passes the line.
6. Adjust Sensitivity if turns fire too easily or too reluctantly, and under Calibrate at rest, tap Calibrate with a relaxed face so your resting expression is filtered out.

Playing with your back to the audience? The Turn head left → next page switch flips which side advances.

Hold the iPad so the front camera can see your face while you play. Leave Start automatically in reader off unless you use face turns every session — it keeps the camera out of app launch.

Turn pages by tilting the iPad

Tilt to Turn Pages turns the page from a slight tilt of the iPad on the stand.

Limit — There is no switch for it in Settings in this version. Ask the Assistant (in the reader Toolbox) to turn on Tilt to Turn Pages — it can flip the setting for you directly.

Jump to a page

A thin scrubber track runs along the bottom of the reader, with a small round thumb showing the current page number:

1. Touch the thumb and drag it along the track.
2. While you drag, a preview card floats above your finger showing the page under the thumb — in a landscape two-page spread it shows both pages of the pair.
3. Let go to land on that page.

The track fades out a few seconds after the last touch, so it never sits over the music while you play; turning a page brings it back.

Jump between movements

Open the Movements panel:

• iPad — tap Table of Contents, the book button at the left end of the top bar.
• iPhone — open the reader Toolbox and tap Table of Contents.

Each movement of the piece is a row showing its page range (p.1 → p.5), with:

• an arrow button — jump to the movement's first page and close the panel;
• an eye button — preview the movement's first page without leaving the panel;
• a pencil button — edit the movement's label or pages, then tap Update Movement;
• swipe left — Delete the movement entry.

To add movements, pick the start and end page in the form at the bottom and tap Save Movement, or tap Auto-detect to scan the score for them. Entries that come from the PDF's own built-in table of contents are read-only: they can't be edited or deleted, and re-opening the score restores them.

Save a movement as its own piece

Save as a piece turns a movement into its own library entry, filed under the parent piece as a dropdown. The new piece gets its own Properties, annotations, and Follow calibration while sharing the original score file — no duplicate storage. Calibrating the smaller piece also makes Follow more accurate: a 5-page movement calibrates faster and follows tighter than a 30-page parent score.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks are personal jump-points, separate from the movements list. They live in the Bookmarks list in the library drawer: each row shows its label and Page N, tapping it opens the piece at that page, and a swipe deletes it (Delete).

Limit — This version has no button in the reader to mark a new bookmark; the reader control was removed. Bookmarks you already have still work from the list. Use the Movements panel to mark structural jump-points in the meantime.
