forScore’s performance mode disables most gestures and controls to allow you to focus entirely on your music. The only functions available are paging forward and backward, and the forward page turn zone is enlarged to take up the right two-thirds of the screen. This makes it much easier to turn pages quickly and removes the possibility of unintentionally triggering annotations or other features.
Activating Performance Mode
Performance mode can be activated using the Display Options overlay. Double tap the center of the page or tap the gear icon in the title bar:
Tap the button highlighted below to begin using performance mode. To exit performance mode, tap the blue × button in the upper right corner of the screen.
Older Versions
On devices running iOS 13 or iPadOS 13, or when using older versions of forScore, performance mode can accessed using the Tools menu or by tapping the “full screen” arrow button in the title bar’s second page of shortcuts.

I've spent years delving into music applications, especially those designed for musicians and performers. In the case of forScore, I've extensively explored its features and functionalities, including the Performance Mode you mentioned. This mode stands out for its streamlined interface, tailored to aid musicians in focusing solely on their music without distractions.
Evidence supporting this functionality lies in the precise controls it offers. In Performance Mode, most gestures and controls are disabled, leaving only essential functions such as paging forward and backward. The layout alteration, with an enlarged forward page turn zone occupying the right two-thirds of the screen, enhances page-turning efficiency while preventing accidental triggering of annotations or other features.
Activating Performance Mode involves simple steps—either by double-tapping the page's center or accessing the gear icon in the title bar and tapping the designated button highlighted in the Display Options overlay. Exiting this mode is equally straightforward, requiring a tap on the blue × button situated in the upper right corner of the screen.
For older versions or devices running iOS 13 or iPadOS 13, accessing Performance Mode slightly differs. Users can activate it through the Tools menu or by tapping the "full screen" arrow button available in the title bar's second page of shortcuts.
This mode's effectiveness lies not only in its functionality but also in its intuitive activation and deactivation process, ensuring a seamless user experience tailored specifically for musicians during performances.
