# Documentation Find the guide for importing, organizing, reading, annotating, practising, and performing from your scores with Page Turner. > Type: Overview · Status: Stable · Platforms: iPadOS 17+, iPadOS 17+ · Last reviewed: 2026-07-18 ## Start here - [Quick start](/docs/start/quick-start): import one score and open it in the reader — the shortest complete path through the app. - [Requirements](/docs/start/requirements): device, system version, storage, and which features need a network connection. - [Permissions](/docs/start/permissions): camera, microphone, and media access are each requested the first time a feature needs them, not at install. This page lists which feature triggers which request. ## Find and organize your scores The library opens on four tabs that change which scores the list shows: - `My Library` — scores you imported or scanned; your private collection and the default tab. - `Catalog` — the shared classical catalog of public-domain works. Browsing it adds nothing to your library. - `Calibrated` — only the pieces already prepared for score following. - `All` — your library and the catalog together. [Library overview](/docs/library/overview) explains the tabs, grouping, and filters. `Collections` are working sets you assemble yourself — a recital program, a student's pieces, this week's practice: see [Collections](/docs/library/collections). [Metadata](/docs/library/metadata) covers editing titles, composers, and tags; [Sync](/docs/library/sync) covers keeping your library available across devices, including the manual `Send to iCloud now` and `Import from iCloud` controls. ## Bring scores in - [Files and folders](/docs/import/files): `Import file (PDF · MusicXML · MEI · image)` accepts the four supported formats; `Import from local folder` and `Import from IMSLP` handle folders and the public-domain archive. - [Scan with the camera](/docs/import/scan): `Scan a score` captures paper pages into a PDF. Requires camera access. - [From other apps](/docs/import/other-apps): move an existing library over using the Files app or the share sheet. - [Bulk review](/docs/import/bulk-review): after a large import, review and correct matched titles and composers in one pass instead of piece by piece. Format details and their limits are in the [format reference](/docs/reference/formats). ## Read, turn, annotate - [Reader navigation](/docs/reader/navigate): move through pages and movements, and keep several pieces open at once. - [Page turning](/docs/reader/page-turning): tap or swipe manually, or add a hands-free method. `Bluetooth page pedal` and `Face gesture page turning` are both set up from the reader's `Toolbox` under `Accessibility` — not from Settings. - [Annotations](/docs/reader/annotations): mark fingerings, draw, and write on the score, with or without Apple Pencil. - [Edit and export](/docs/reader/edit-export): crop, reorder, and export an annotated copy. ## Practise and perform - `Follow` listens through the microphone during a live session and moves the tracker through a prepared score. It needs microphone access, a network connection, and score preparation before it is reliable — start with [Follow overview](/docs/follow/overview), then [Prepare a score](/docs/follow/prepare) and [Reliability](/docs/follow/reliability) before trusting it in performance. - `Smart Score` converts a PDF or scan into notation the app can analyse, finger, and track. Conversion output must be reviewed before use: see [Smart Score overview](/docs/smart-score/overview) and [Fix a conversion](/docs/smart-score/fix-conversion). - [Practice tools](/docs/practice/tools) covers `Transpose`, `Focus Mode`, `Metronome`, `Tuner`, and `Piano`, all reachable from the reader without leaving the current score. [Analysis](/docs/practice/analysis), [Fingering](/docs/practice/fingering), and the [Recording studio](/docs/practice/recording-studio) each have their own page. > **Note** On iPads with Apple Intelligence (M-series or A17 Pro and later, iPadOS 26+), score questions in the analysis chat are answered by the on-device model — no network connection required. Other devices automatically use the cloud service instead. ## Hands-free and input devices - [Hands-free controls](/docs/accessibility/hands-free): pedal and face-gesture page turning in one place. - [Apple Pencil and keyboard](/docs/accessibility/pencil-keyboard): annotation input and keyboard shortcuts. ## Privacy Before using `Follow` in a lesson or performance, read [Privacy & data](/docs/privacy/data-and-audio): it states what the microphone stream is used for, what stays on the device, and which settings control whether any audio leaves it. ## When something fails Troubleshooting pages lead with the symptom you can observe, then test causes in the cheapest safe order: - [Follow problems](/docs/troubleshooting/follow) — tracker not moving, wrong position, no lock. - [Import and conversion problems](/docs/troubleshooting/import-conversion) — files that fail to import or convert badly. - [Sync and performance problems](/docs/troubleshooting/sync-performance) — missing pieces across devices, slow pages. If a page does not resolve it, [contact support](/docs/support) with the details listed there. ## Reference and updates - [Formats](/docs/reference/formats) · [Settings](/docs/reference/settings) · [Glossary](/docs/reference/glossary) - [Release notes](/docs/release-notes): what is in the current beta and what is explicitly not claimed yet. > **Limit** Feature availability varies by device, score type, account state, and network access. Each page names its own dependencies; this guide does not imply feature parity between iPad and iPhone.
