Image score import
How to import score photos in the right page order
The image picker and page-order screen come before setup. SheetCue creates a PDF from the ordered pages, then opens the same required three screens used by PDF imports.
The short answer
Choose Import images, confirm the access notice, select up to 20 JPEG or PNG pages, and arrange them in score order. Continue to create the PDF, then finish 1/3 Split Measures, 2/3 Order Setup, and 3/3 Playback Setup. Tap the final check, handle the backup guidance if shown, and open the score from My Scores.
How it works
Choose Import images
From My Scores, open the file menu and choose Import images.
Confirm access and choose images
Read the access notice, continue to the system picker, and select JPEG or PNG pages. The free plan must have fewer than five active user presets before selection begins.
Check the page order before conversion
Use the review screen to add missing pages, remove mistakes, and move a page earlier or later. One import can contain at most 20 pages.
Create the PDF, then complete 1/3
Tap Continue. SheetCue uses the temporary image copies to create the PDF kept in its score library, then opens Split Measures. Draw a staff row, add or move its boundaries, and apply at least one playable measure.
2/3 — Order Setup
Review the numbered route. For a return or repeat, select an existing step, tap its numbered Insert after button, choose the source measures, and confirm. The same source measure can appear at most four times.
3/3 — Playback Setup
Enter the preset title, PDF BPM, and Default beats. The completion check remains disabled until the title, timing values, and a playable measure are valid.
Complete setup and open the score
Tap the check button on step 3. Backup guidance can appear before My Scores. Keep the original images elsewhere if you want an independent archive, then tap the new score and choose a practice view.
What to know
Page order comes before the three setup steps
The image review screen controls PDF page order only. It does not replace measure splitting, playback order, or timing setup.
The generated PDF is the durable score asset
Selected images are staged in temporary app cache. The ordered PDF is kept in the score library; the original image set is not an independent in-app archive.
Current limits
- The free plan supports up to five active user presets.
- Each image import is limited to 20 JPEG or PNG pages, and page order is not inferred.
- Blur, perspective distortion, shadows, or low resolution can make manual splitting harder.
