Simply download the app from the respective store (Apple Store or Google Store) and try out the functions. The functions are identical to the web app, but with the added value that the grades are also available offline in the mobile app (if you activate it in the settings).
Please note that we have developed instrument holders for the 6, 7 and 7.8 inch PocketBook models only. There is no mount for Inkpad X (10.3).
You should take a look at the extensive software features on the respective article page on our website, as they cannot be described in a simple FAQ sheet. We have linked everything again here:
- Music sheet content from publishers & composers
- Music Sheet Display
- Music Sheet Management
- Events Management
- Band Management
- Music Sheet Display
- Events including Sheets
- Changing Bands
- Change of instruments and voices
As a display device, you should note that e-readers for public appearances offer a significantly higher contrast (almost like paper) in sunlight – while smartphones/tablets are less readable. In addition, some e-readers are splash-proof and there are still many bands that have to deliver in any weather.
YES! In our apps you will find all our sheet music from the publishers in the sheet music pool/sheet music library – of course only after completing a subscription model.
See grade management for more information.
We have cooperations with various publishers & Composers from Austria, Germany and Italy (as of 01_2023). These sheet music can be used digitally by the clubs or musicians via our apps.
No! Sheet music can only be used via our apps (web app, mobile app, e-reader app). However, you can also use the sheet music offline in the mobile app and on the e-reader.
The export of the notes as for example PDF is not possible.
In performance management, rehearsals and performances including the NOTES can be created and managed and made available to all band members. band members can then use the app to accept or decline the individual dates and the conductor can see at a glance who is present at the performance. The appointments can then be easily exported to the calendar.
Benefit from newly composed and rearranged sheet music from our MARSCHPAT sheet music pool. Notes from various publishers and above all from our MARSCHPAT publishing house are integrated here. We work with young composers and arrangers from all over Austria and Germany in order to constantly feed the sheet music pool with new pieces.
The sheet music from our sheet music pool is digitized and optimized for display on all our devices. The individual parts (1st clarinet in Bb, 3rd horn in Eb) are already correctly linked in our software. That means I can easily and quickly switch from 1st tenor horn in Bb to 1st trombone in C in the APP and the correct part is displayed.
Own sheet music (own arrangements, own compositions, etc.) can be uploaded via our web app in a private, protected area, which can be used for personal use for practicing and rehearsals and is only available to the respective person or club.
MARSCHPAT offers complete band management especially for music bands and orchestras. This means that daily band actions can be planned easily and digitally. Band management features include:
- Member Management
- Devices, subscriptions, license management
- Performances, rehearsals and appointment management
- Prepare sheet music and sheet music playlists for appointments
- and much more.
Private individuals can upload sheet music in their own area solely for their own use (rehearsals, practice). From a legal point of view, no public performances may be played with the sheet music you uploaded yourself. That’s why we try to offer the required sheet music through our MARSCHPAT pool, also from various external publishers, since public performances are allowed here. Every musician is responsible for complying with this, MARSCHPAT expressly accepts no legal claims here.
It must also be noted that even scanned sheet music is usually of poor quality (poor contrast, scanned crookedly, missing voices, truncated margins, etc.) and therefore cannot be displayed optimally. We can only optimize them “to a limited extent” in our software. A digitization service from MARSCHPAT is not yet available but is being planned.
It is therefore essential to scan notes perfectly and to optimize them yourself in order to be able to display them perfectly.
In the MARSCHPAT sheet music pool, the sheet music is already perfectly digitally processed and can be displayed in the highest quality. Here the notes are optimally rendered for the device surface, since our own development is behind it here too ?
You can find a collection of musicsheets from different genres in our musiclibrary, which is constantly being expanded. Click through and see what there is to discover. Well-known and new marches, polkas, church pieces, hymns, fanfares and chorales as well as modern pieces are already available.
