Read your sheet music on Even Realities G1 smart glasses, hands-free.
Requirements
iPhone running iOS 13 or later.
Even Realities G1 smart glasses (required to display and play scores).
Quick start
Add a score. Tap Add score and pick one:
Import MusicXML — best quality. The score is re-engraved on-device, and the timed
player's cue times are filled in for you. Export MusicXML from your notation app (e.g. Sibelius:
File → Export → MusicXML).
Import a bundle (PDF + MusicXML) — shows your PDF pages, borrows tempo and cue
times from the MusicXML.
Import PDF — slices an existing PDF part into frames.
Connect your glasses. Tap the status bar at the top of the home screen to pair your G1.
Preparing scores works offline; the glasses are only needed to play.
Play. Turn pages by lifting your head up (then lowering it back), on a timed clock set to
the score's tempo, or with the on-screen Back / Forward buttons.
Troubleshooting
The app can't find my glasses after I used the Even Realities app.
Glasses that are still connected to iOS don't advertise, so a plain scan may miss them. Open the connection
screen and scan again — the app also recovers glasses that are already connected or previously paired. If it
still can't find them, toggle the glasses off and on, or toggle iPhone Bluetooth off and on, then scan.
A file imports empty.
The file is probably still in iCloud and not downloaded. Open it once in the Files app to download it, then
import again.
The notes are too small or too big.
The glasses display is 576×136 pixels, one-bit monochrome — a few staves at a time by design. For MusicXML,
choose 1 system per view for bigger notes, or 2 for fewer page turns. Two per view is about the practical
legibility limit.
Only one lens updates.
Each lens is its own radio. If one eye briefly drops, the app re-sends the current frame to it automatically
when it recovers.
