Please Note: The Musicnotes Viewer for iOS app is considered legacy software; it will not receive any future software updates. This article has been retained for resource purposes only.
You may continue to use the app, however as time progresses, you may experience more and more frequent issues when using the legacy app to access your purchased music.
Additionally, this legacy app will be unable to access newer product types that may have been purchased under your Musicnotes account.
For the best digital sheet music experience, we recommend either:
- Downloading and signing in to the Musicnotes Player for iOS app, available for download from the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPads running iOS or iPadOS, or,
- Signing in to the Musicnotes Web App in your web browser.
Folders are used to organize your sheet music. Set lists are used to create an ordered list of pieces, such as ones that will need to be used in a specific order during a performance.
Both groups are managed very similarly, but the primary difference is that you can rearrange the titles you have added to a set list and when you view sheet music from within a set list, you can move back and forth between titles without leaving the music viewer.
To navigate between folders and set lists go to the My Sheet Music section and use the tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Folders are used simply to organize your sheet music. To manage your folders, tap the Folders tab. You can create folders to arrange titles by genre, instrument, composer, or whatever other category you would like.
Set Lists are used to create an ordered list of pieces, such as ones that will be used in order during a performance. To manage your set lists, tap the Set Lists tab. Each title can be put into as many different folders and set lists as you wish.
