Share choir parts with reference recordings
Choir members rehearse at home with whatever recording they can find, usually the wrong one. A single MPDF link gives everyone the same score, the same reference mix, and their own voice part one tap away, with no app to install.
Use YouTube, and you can send a link
Most choral repertoire has part-learning videos on YouTube (a mix plus separate soprano, alto, tenor and bass tracks). Because those are links rather than files, the finished score can be shared as a link: it opens in the browser with a preview card, and the recordings play through YouTube's own player. Link to official or publisher uploads where you can.
Set it up
- Drop the score PDF into the maker.
- Paste one YouTube link per track: the full mix first, then each voice. Name them “Full mix”, “Soprano”, “Alto” and so on. The names are what singers see in the player.
- Assign the full mix to page 1 or place a playback button there. Singers choose their own part from the player; keep Follow pages off to retain that choice while changing pages.
- Title the file (“Messiah · Hallelujah”), then Create link.
Page cues for longer works
For a section beginning at 4:12, set a separate track to start at 4:12 and assign it to the relevant page. Enable Follow pages to use the cue after playback has started. For quick jumps within one track, place time markers on the score.
Sending the link
- Paste the link into the choir's group chat. It shows the title and a preview.
- Anyone with the link can open it without signing in. Links are available for 90 days after creation; keep your original and make a new sharing link when needed.
- If someone prefers a file, Shared MPDF saves a file with the music connections; the YouTube links are inside the file and play in the viewer.
At rehearsal
The viewer keeps the score central and the playback controls close by. Use the lower player, on-page buttons, and time markers to start or jump to a section, then set an A–B loop for repeated practice.
