What is digital sheet music management?
Digital sheet music management means organising a choir’s entire score library centrally and electronically instead of in paper folders and photocopies. Every piece lives as PDF, MusicXML or audio in one library, searchable by title, composer, tag and category, assigned to individual voices and available on every device. In Chorilo, every choir manages its scores this way: with PDF annotations that stay in sync across devices, offline access and unlimited storage on both plans.
What does sheet music management in Chorilo offer?
- Central library: every piece with title, composer, category and tags in one place, viewable as a list or tile grid and sortable by title, composer, date added or last rehearsed.
- A piece can hold a PDF, a MusicXML file and audio recordings all at once, bundled together in the same entry.
- Event linking: attach pieces to rehearsals and concerts so everyone has the right edition with them.
- PDF annotations: mark up the score directly; annotations sync in real time across web, tablet and phone and remain available offline.
- With tags and filters you group pieces by concert, programme, style or your own criteria, and you can tag several pieces at once.
- Voice trainer: render individual voices from MusicXML as practice audio and transpose them. More about the voice trainer.
Why digital instead of paper sheet music?
Scores always with you
The whole library fits on a tablet instead of a heavy folder, and it works without internet in rehearsal and concert.
Annotations stay
Fingerings, breath marks and cuts are no longer lost when members change.
No copying logistics
No handing out, no reprinting lost parts. New members have every score from day one.
Found in seconds
Search and tags find any piece in seconds, even in a library with hundreds of works.
