How do I import music into my script?

There are three ways to bring music into your script — whether it's sheet music, live audio, or a link to a recorded track.

1. Sheet music

With your script open, also open the PDF of your music score. Use the Facing Pages tool to Copy & Paste Pages of music directly into your script. Then use Move Pages to tap/click + drag the score into the right location alongside your script.

✅ TIP: To insert only a few bars, take a screenshot of the sheet music PDF, then use the Image tool to insert the screenshot and crop the music as desired.

2. Live audio clips

Audio Clips are a great way to add quick reference recordings of sounds or music. Tap/click any area of your script with the Audio tool to take a live recording.

✅ TIP: You can't import audio files directly, but there's a workaround: open the Audio tool, tap record, and play the music from another app or device.

3. Links to recorded audio

Using the Hyperlink tool, you can link to a website, a cloud audio file, or a YouTube video. Select the script text you'd like to link, then tap the Link icon on the popup bar.
