The guide.

Every part of Maestro Pro, one topic to a page. New here? Start with Getting Started. The same text is in the app, under Help.

Start here

• Getting StartedMaestro Pro shows sheet music and follows it for you: the notes light up as they sound, the page turns itself, and you can play along with a backing track, a song from Apple Music, the built-in instrument, or just a metronome.
• Your LibraryEverything you import lives in the library and stays on the device. It is also kept in iCloud when iCloud Drive is on.
• Playing a ScoreThe bar at the bottom controls playback; the toolbar and the Inspector change how it looks and sounds.

Practise

• Tuner & Wait for MeMaestro Pro can listen through the microphone: to tune your instrument, to train a steady note, and to wait for you to play a score note by note. Sound is analysed on the device and is never recorded or sent anywhere.
• Record & ReviewRecord yourself playing a score, then watch it back with the notes lit: green where you should have been, red where you actually were. It listens through the microphone, so it works with any instrument or your voice.
• Scales & ArpeggiosPractice material made on demand.
• AnnotatingMark up the page like a paper part.

Sound and words

• Backing Tracks & SoundA backing track is a recording that plays with the score. The built-in instrument can play the notes on the page too.
• Lyrics & KaraokeLyrics scroll in time with the music like in Apple Music, and CD+Graphics karaoke files show their built-in pictures.

Write and keep

• Writing & Editing MusicThe score editor changes the notes in a MusicXML score. A PDF is first read by the app, and the editor works on a copy of what it read. Open it with Edit Score (the music-note-list button; in Simple mode it appears for scores you created).
• Version History & GitHubSave versions of a score, try ideas on branches, merge them back, and keep it all on GitHub.
• Share, Export & PrintGet a score, or a video of it, out of the app.

Together

• Play TogetherUp to eight devices running Maestro Pro can play in time with each other (Advanced mode).
