Yes. Your scores are PDFs, so you can keep a library in each while you decide.

Do my forScore annotations transfer?

App comparisons & alternatives

A forScore alternative built around gesture turning

forScore is a mature, well-regarded app and for many players it is the right answer. People look for an alternative for specific reasons: they need turning that does not use hands or feet, they want a free tier that includes the core feature, or they want a lighter app.

The main difference

StageMate treats the front camera as a first-class input. Held blinks, nods and head shakes turn the page through Apple's Vision and ARKit frameworks, with sensitivity you set.

Moving your library

Because both apps work with PDFs, migration is an export and an import. Metadata extraction re-labels anything that arrives with a filename instead of a title.

Pricing shape

Reading, import, annotation, tuner and gesture turning are free. Pro (US$11.99/year, US$39.99 lifetime) covers iCloud sync, band sharing and unlimited setlists.

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.
