I knew this was possible and figured it out.
These instructions are for the DESKTOP version of ForScore on the Mac and using your keyboard’s USB midi connection to the computer. See below for thoughts on iDevices.
First, go to Privacy and Security in your Mac settings. If you see ForScore, click the slider to turn it on. If you don’t click the + version and look for it in applications to add it to the list, then click the slider. You will probably need to restart your computer.
Next, open ForScore, click the SuitCase in the right hand tools icon set, then Settings, then MIDI.
Make sure Receive Shortcuts has a check next to it.
Go back to Settings then Page Turners and ShortCuts.
(be sure your digital keyboard is turned on at this point if it’s not already)
Click the Next Page item. You’ll see … Then press your soft pedal (or sostenuto pedal if you prefer … no one uses that) and you should see some letters and numbers appear. For me using the soft pedal, it’s B0 43 7F.
Back out of the dialogs to get back to your score. In a multi-page score, try it out.
I can’t take credit for this. I asked Claude and it required a few tries to get right.
The path for people using bluetooth MIDI may be somewhat different. There’s probably a way to make it work.
I may get around to figuring it out on the iPad/iPhone version, however, my belief is that you will have to connect the midi USB cable to your iDevice and follow the instructions above.
Which means I guess you’ll have use your headphones/monitor speakers' bluetooth capabilities or plug them into a bluetooth receiver to get output from your device.
Bluetooth means latency… just so you know.
If you have a 17 series iPhone or the current iPad Air or Pro, it has Bluetooth version 6.0 which is said to reduce latency. There are monitor speakers out there with 6.0 (most are 5.3 or earlier.) Another option is to get a 6.0 Bluetooth receiver with the appropriate output jacks and plug that into your headphones/monitors. Probably less expensive than getting new speakers
