Keep your scores well organized under setlists and projects. And if you don’t want to concentrate on a certain piece, you can even crop it into parts and work on them. What’s more? You can add bookmarks, jumps, reorganize pages, etc. Incredibly, you can also invoke multiple layers to make temporary notes or comments, so your score sheet remains clean and fresh always.
