Moving your sheet music library to digital

Going digital fails for boring reasons: the scans are crooked, nothing is named, and turning pages on screen is worse than on paper. Fix those three and the switch sticks.

Scan once, properly

Photograph pages in even light and let auto-crop square the edges. StageMate's metadata extraction then fills in title and composer so the file is findable, not just stored.

Keep it as PDF

PDF is the format every publisher, printer and app agrees on. StageMate stores PDFs and syncs them through your own iCloud, so your library is never trapped.

Make turning better than paper

This is the part that converts sceptics: a blink turns the page while both hands keep playing, which paper has never managed.

Try it on your own scores

Import PDF scores, add annotations, build setlists and turn pages hands-free. StageMate is available for Apple devices and Android. Features, cloud services and Pro purchases differ by platform; check the current plan before buying.
