Double-Page View / Split View / Side-by-side View

As a professional musician, GoodNotes is almost perfect for viewing and marking up sheet music both during rehearsals and performances! In my circle of friends and colleagues, GoodNotes is really becoming our go-to app! We unanimously agree that the only feature that is missing for viewing sheet music is the ability to view two pages at once (like an open book or in Mac's Preview "double-page viewing"). Is it possible that I'm just not seeing this feature?

We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

How to open a new window:

You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

- the app icon from the dock
- documents from the library
- folders from the library
- individual pages from the document thumbnail view
- tabs from the tab-bar

You can also use the buttons in the library action menu or from the tab-bar to open a new window.

We're glad you're here

    It will be great to be able to view 2 pages at a time like a real book on landscape view

    two documents side by side for iPad Pro and any other iPads, it will make the paperless life much better than before

  • Virgil Alaniz commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'd like to be able to have a reference doc on top, while I work on the bottom doc. This is unlike the left-right iOS implementation by apple.

    Sometimes I have a PDF where I highlighted some ideas or took notes and I am typing them to a Pages document, but I can't have them in split windows at the same time which would be great since it would save the trouble of moving from one app to another (something like what happens with iPad split screen integration)

    I want to view multiple pages at the same time.

  • Jena commented  ·   ·  Report

    be able to pull non-consecutive pages and view side-by-side. And/or pull up two side-by-side pages from different books

  • T Ak Y-amada commented  ·   ·  Report

    And the ability to view multiple pages at once. This is useful when taking notes and you want to see the last page or the next page

  • Christina commented  ·   ·  Report

    As a student I would really like this feature, too. Not just for viewing. It would be nice if I could see the exercies on one page and directly do them on the page next to it.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Very hard to find the right page with the current 3 x 3 page overview. Would be great if there's option for 2 -3 page overview at a time.

    It would be nice if it was possible to view 2 pages at the same time and be able to work on them.

    The ability to view two pages at once -- like a book. It would make this the PERFECT sheet music app. I already use it as such, but the only thing preventing from selling all of my colleagues on this app is the lack of this feature.

  • Jane commented  ·   ·  Report

    especially for students in lectures or tutorials. on left side i can see the task with tables and numbers and on the right side i can work and write to do my calculations. please implement this fast with next update...

    Like in PDF viewers, I think it would be great if the app could display 2+ pages at once. This would greatly facilitate reading, comparison and referrals when editing.
    Best app on iPad, hands down!
