Practice Bird Customer Insights

1. And the pro version price shot up by about 30%.Pro: Smooth scrolldown playback (the best) Good optimization (better than M***score) Cons: Soundfont is not pleasant to hear, very robotic (Acoustic Piano sounds obviously generated) Some elements fail to parse properly; uses metadata to generate Composer/Lyricist instead of using Musescore header elements, thus missing some fields like Arranger/Transcriber.

2. As there will be a group of young children looking at the screen and would need the notes to be larger to easily see their location on the staff.I tried PhonicScore and found it more stable with better music rendering than the one I've been using for the last few years.

3. As a suggestion for the developers, It could be very useful to be able to make user annotations for rehearsal the private version of the score.The first reason I rate it a 4 star is because the reviews looked like I was going to learn the piano and the second reason I rate it a 4 star is because it has unfortunately stopped so can you please undo that for me.

4. This would have been a 5-star review, if not for a simple but significant missing feature: the possibility to directly open a local XML file without manually adding it to the phonicscore library.It's usable and I'm sure the paid version is really good.

5. It does highlight the notes and it does advance through the score as it plays so you can see the next section of music.

6. But sadly it does not leave my notes colored as I created the music in musescore.

7. I needed the app to use the colored sheet music I made to play and highlight the notes so the kids will know when to play.

8. (I tried another app called capella reader with the same mxml file and it does not have this issue.) No syncing feature for cloudEstupendo, no se puede pedir más de la versión gratuíta.

9. With this change and tranposing(pro), it is the perfect app for live performance.EDIT: The problem has been solved! Best music xml app on the market.

10. I can see the app is mainly targeted for music learning & practice but I want to point out that live PERFORMANCE could also be an important application of the app.

11. But after first time play the score, tempo slowed down unwillingly withou changing anything and only corrected by reload the score.
