Hands-free page turning

Turn sheet music pages with a foot tap—no extra pedal.

A light foot tap on the music stand is enough. cmlsijswfr detects the movement and turns the page while your hands remain on the instrument.

Why turn pages this way?

Your hands stay where the music needs them.

At the piano, on strings, with a wind instrument or on guitar, a page turn rarely arrives at a convenient moment. Reaching for the tablet breaks the movement, while a separate Bluetooth pedal adds another device to buy, charge and connect.

cmlsijswfr can use the movement already produced at the music stand. A light foot tap on the stand triggers the next or previous score page. The interaction stays simple and does not require another accessory.

Tune the sensitivity for your music stand.

Music stands respond differently. A heavy orchestral stand moves differently from a light folding stand, so the trigger threshold can be adjusted in the app. The live reading shows how much motion is detected and whether it would trigger a turn.

  • Set the threshold so a deliberate foot tap is detected reliably.
  • Keep ordinary vibration below the trigger level.
  • Test several turns on the stand you will use before rehearsal or performance.

More than one way to turn a page.

The foot tap is useful when you want to play without another accessory. In other situations, a second iPhone or Android phone can be paired as a wireless controller. Compatible pedals remain an option as well, so rehearsal, teaching and performance can each use the control method that suits the instrument and setup.
