Use tools to prep parts before creating and assigning

Beam offers a number of tools to make importing PDF sheet music efficient and flexible:

PDFs can be imported as separate files per part or as a single PDF containing all parts
During import, you can select which pages from uploaded PDFs should be assigned to which parts
Beam includes a robust, continuously updated list of part names categorized by instrument family

Beam includes a set of editing tools for adjusting files during or after import:

Crop — Remove excess white space to maximize display size
Cut — Slice a page vertically or horizontally to create two pages from one
Duplicate — Make a copy of the current page
Rotate — Rotate a page in 90-degree increments
Delete — Remove a page or multiple selected pages from the PDF

Songs can be created in the Music tab and automatically assigned to the current Group

Tap the Music tab
Tap the Songs tab at the top
Tap the add button in the bottom right corner
Select Create New Song
Enter a song name, composer (optional), and duration (optional) and tap Create

The next step depends on how your files are organized. You can import and assign parts from any combination of PDFs, but the process is slightly different depending on your circumstances.
