Music apps—notation, score-reading, and related mobile software.
PDF-BatchStitch 1.7.0 is now available from Notation Central. The update adds sequential page numbers with placement options, headers & footers, and a "Don't stitch" mode that processes every file in a folder separately.
SheetCue, a music reader app, has you draw the measures, define the repeats and cuts, and it drives a timed, measure-by-measure practice flow from your own PDFs or photos. The idea also opens a bigger question: the vendor lock-in that traps annotated score libraries inside a single app.
Bibliome is a new Mac app that files, OCRs, and answers plain-language questions about your whole PDF library — scores, method books, and IMSLP downloads — using AI that runs entirely on your machine, with no cloud in sight.
PDF-Counter 1.1.0 is now available from Notation Central. The update adds a Columns dialog with ten selectable data fields — including page size, file size, dates, and more — and names the output file after the scanned folder.
A small but meaningful update to the PDF Batch Utilities ensures markings survive processing, improves counting reliability with "incremental" PDFs, and adds a clever new shortcut in PDF-BatchScale.
The PDF Batch Utilities for music printing get their biggest update yet: native Apple Silicon, codesigning, new icons, bookmarks in output files, bug fixes, and a brand new app — PDF-Counter.
