Stavia: Sheet Music Reader

Stavia is a sheet music reader for your PDF scores: open your music on a phone or tablet and turn pages with a Bluetooth foot pedal or a tap. Write on the score, build setlists for a concert, and keep your pieces in one library. No account needed.

Use it on stage, at rehearsal and at home, as a page turner app and in place of paper folders. It suits soloists, orchestra and band players, choirs, and church and wedding musicians.

TURN PAGES
• Bluetooth page-turner pedals that work as a keyboard turn pages as soon as they are paired with your device
• Press your pedal in Settings to test it, and choose which keys go to next and previous
• Tap the left and right sides, the bottom corners, or the top and bottom
• Swipe to turn pages, or use the volume buttons once you turn them on in Settings
• Half-page turns let you read ahead while you play
• Choose single page, two pages side by side (in landscape or on a tablet), or vertical scrolling with auto-scroll

WRITE ON THE SCORE
• Pen, highlighter, text and eraser, with undo and redo
• Choose the color and the line width
• Stylus-only mode: the pen writes, your finger turns pages
• Your marks come back each time you open the score, and your original PDF is not changed

SETLISTS
• Put pieces in order and play straight through from one to the next
• The last page shows which piece comes next
• Send the running order to your group as an image

LIBRARY
• Search by title, composer or tag, sort by title, composer or recently opened, and filter by tags
• Bookmarks and a page overview take you to any page quickly

ON STAGE
• Night view with inverted colors or sepia for a dark stage
• Trim white margins so the notes appear larger
• Rotate a score that was scanned sideways
• Metronome with tap tempo

FREE AND PRO
Free to download. Opening, turning and writing on scores have no usage limit. The free version keeps 15 scores and 2 setlists and shows a small banner ad outside the reading screen. If your library is full, you can still open a PDF for that one time.
Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: unlimited scores and setlists, export a PDF with your marks, backup and restore, page order editing for repeats, and no ads.
Remove ads is a separate one-time purchase if the ads are all you want gone.

FAQ
How do I turn pages with my feet?
Pair a Bluetooth page-turner pedal with your phone or tablet like a keyboard. Open a score and press the pedal. If your pedal sends other keys, assign them in Settings.

Do I need a pedal?
No. Tap the edge of the screen or swipe. The volume buttons also work once you turn them on in Settings.

Can I use scanned sheet music?
Yes. Scanned PDFs open too, and you can write on it, rotate it and trim its margins.

Do my scores leave my device?
The PDFs you add stay on your device unless you send them yourself. No account or sign-in is used.

How do I move my scores to a new phone?
With Pro, make a backup file and restore it on the new phone. It includes your scores, marks and setlists.

LIMITATIONS
• Stavia reads PDF files only. MusicXML and other score formats do not open
• It comes with one sample score. You bring your own PDFs
• Scores are not synced between devices automatically
• PDF export handles files up to 250 MB, and less on phones with little memory
• Password-protected PDFs can be read but not exported
• Uninstalling the app deletes your library and marks. With Pro you can make a backup first
