Does it work sharing a stand?

Detection tracks one face. For desk partners, put the part on both devices via sharing.

Will vibrato-related head movement trigger turns?

Set the movement threshold above your natural motion, or use blink turning.

By instrument & situation

Violin parts and the page-turn problem

String players have the least free hand of anyone: bow in one, instrument under the chin, and often a stand shared with a desk partner. Gesture turning removes the negotiation over who turns.

Instrument at the chin, face still visible

ARKit tracking needs your eyes and head, not an unobstructed torso, so the violin position does not interfere with detection.

Bowings and fingerings

Apple Pencil annotation handles bowings, shifts and divisi notes, layered over the part so the clean edition survives.

Section parts, distributed

With Pro band sharing, a section leader's bowings reach every stand instead of being copied by hand before a concert.
