ScoreOrder
Got a folder of score PDFs in the wrong order? This app lets you drag them into the right sequence, add scene-change suffixes, set your numbering style, and rename everything in one click.
Prototype. The web version below is an early build that runs entirely in your browser; your files never leave your machine. In Chrome or Edge it can rename files right in the folder. In other browsers it downloads the renamed set as a ZIP. Prefer a native app? The free Mac version is further down the page.
Use It in Your Browser
In-place renaming needs Chrome or Edge. In this browser you can still pick PDFs, reorder them, and download the renamed set as a ZIP.
No files yet. Open a folder, choose PDFs, or drop them here.
How It Works
- Loads all PDFs from any folder you choose
- Drag rows or use the arrows to set score order
- Mark a row as a cue to give it a letter suffix, e.g. 01a after 01
- Choose your padding style: 01, 001, or 1
- Pick a separator: underscore, hyphen, space, or period
- Live preview updates as you make changes
- Renaming is safe: a two-phase rename prevents file loss when numbers swap
- Accesses only the folder or files you choose
- No uploads. Everything happens locally in your browser
Free Mac App
The desktop version, Score Order Renamer, does the same job as a native Mac app with Finder integration. Download it, drag it to Applications, and you are set.
FAQ
Do my PDFs get uploaded?
No. The web version runs entirely in your browser. In Chrome or Edge it renames files right in the folder; other browsers download the renamed set as a ZIP.
Web version or Mac app?
Same job either way. The Mac app, Score Order Renamer, works on any folder without a browser. It's free, signed, and notarized, with builds for Apple Silicon and Intel.
Can it handle cues and inserts?
Yes. Mark a row as a cue and it gets a letter suffix, like 01a after 01. Numbering style and scene-change suffixes are up to you.
