Band Scored

A sheet-music app for iPad for reading and organising scores, searching your library, building set lists, converting notation to 简谱, and chatting with your band. The same practices are intended to apply if the app is later released on Android.

What it does

• Import PDFs, images, MusicXML files, and photos of printed pages into an on-device library.
• Organise and search your scores, and build set lists.
• Convert staff notation to 简谱 (numbered notation) on the device.
• Chat with your band on the same Wi-Fi, or over the internet when cloud chat is on.

The app starts with an empty library. You should only import scores and recordings you have the right to use. Band Scored does not bundle commercial song charts.

Google Drive

The current App Store version of Band Scored does not connect to your Google Drive account and does not request Google Drive permissions. You can still import scores that live in Google Drive by choosing them in the iPad Files app (Google Drive appears there if the Google Drive app is installed) or by opening a file in the Google Drive app and using Share / Open in to send it to Band Scored. Files you import this way are copied into your on-device library.

A future update may add optional in-app Drive browsing, search, folder import, and Re-sync, after Google has reviewed and approved that access. If and when that feature is offered, the app would request read-only access to Google Drive (the drive.readonly scope) so you can browse and import your own scores. Imported files would be copied onto the device. Your Drive file contents and your Google Drive access token would not be uploaded to our servers. We would not use Google Sign-In as your Band Scored account, and the app would not read or store your Google email address in our Firebase project. Connecting Drive would be optional, and disconnecting it would not delete scores already imported.

Band Scored’s use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The privacy policy explains this in more detail.
