Open a score
From inside the app
- Tap Open File on the home screen. With a score already open, use the folder icon at the top of the screen.
- Pick a score from your device or cloud storage.
Scores you have opened stay in your history, so next time a single tap opens them.

A score opened by sharing may be a copy from that moment. To pick up later changes to the original, open it again with Open File.
