ForScore problem

[Roblevybass]

Can anyone out there suggest a possible reason why my bluetooth page-turner occasionally flips over multiple pages in ForScore, rather than one? Very disconcerting in the middle of a gig! Should I be looking at a fault in my Ipad, the software or the page turner?

Is this controlled by a foot pedal? If so that's where I would be looking first.

 

Does anyone know if there is a utility that can capture and display Bluetooth messages? That would be a good tool to help troubleshoot the problem.

Yes, I use a Strich bluetooth page turner pedal. I've tried resetting it several times, but the problem persists. Sometimes it flips over around ten pages and I have to frantically turn back to the intended page, whilst playing.....

How old is this device? I would suspect mechanical failure somewhere in the pedal mechanism either in the part you press or the electrical contacts beneath, which is causing it to send out multiple messages. I believe you can connect this via USB as well as Bluetooth. It might be worth trying this so we can narrow down the problem.

Also does the problem happen in both directions or just page forward?

This might not be relevant but when this happened to me it was because I had my iPad in a case with a bluetooth keyboard. Case was folded over so iPad could sit on regular music stand. Weight of iPad against keyboard was pushing keys in, causing random scrolling. Turned off the bluetooth from the keyboard and all was fine.

It happens in both directions!

It's a few years old. I've just ordered a ne wBlue Turn pedal, which hopefully will work. Will report back. Thanks for the help, guys!

Well, my new Irig Blue Turn pedal works a treat. So it appears that my old page turner pedal was malfunctioning. It has now been 'retired' from service. The Irig pedal is more expensive than some other page turners. But IMHO it's worth it , as it is a class product. Interestingly, it is manufactured in Italy, which may explain why it's more pricey than many of the far-eastern made pedals on the market...
