Automated Page Turning for Musicians
CueFlip is an iOS application designed to assist musicians by automating the process of turning pages in digital sheet music. The app listens to a musician's performance and turns pages at pre-defined points, eliminating the need for manual intervention during play. This functionality addresses the common challenge musicians face when needing to remove a hand from their instrument to turn a page.
Customizable Page Turn Cues
The application allows users to explicitly teach it how to turn pages. This involves either a live rehearsal or a recording where the musician marks the precise moments for page turns. This customization ensures that the app's page-turning aligns with the musician's specific interpretation and tempo changes within a piece.
Integrated Music Dictionary and Translation
CueFlip incorporates a built-in music dictionary containing over 20,000 terms. This feature helps musicians understand musical notations and terms, many of which are in foreign languages. The dictionary offers translations into 13 languages and can extract terms from scanned scores, providing context for how a composer intended a piece to be played.
Alternative Control Methods
In addition to automatic page turning, CueFlip provides alternative control options. Users can manually turn pages forward or backward using Face ID by winking their right or left eye, respectively. The app also supports external Bluetooth page turners, offering flexibility for musicians who prefer physical controls.
Origin and Availability
The app was developed by 15-year-old classical guitarist Yuze Pan, who created it to solve the problem of interrupted rehearsals caused by manual page turns. CueFlip is available for free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad devices running iOS and iPadOS 16.4 or later. A free version includes PDFs with annotations and automatic page turning for one score. A Pro version, priced at $4.99/month or $29.99/year, unlocks unlimited page turning, the music dictionary, wink-to-turn functionality, and other features.
