Vertical Page Turning/Scrolling
Users can now choose between horizontal and vertical page turns. Vertical mode offers an "infinite scroll" experience, letting you move smoothly through each page. Page Turn Buttons and tappable areas still function in both modes.
To switch modes, tap the Page Settings button in the top right of the edit menu, then select Vertical under Page Scrolling.
Note:
  • Page turning mode is song and device specific.
  • Saved zoom levels are disabled in vertical scroll mode.
  • Dark Music Mode has moved from the Beam Button to Page Settings.

Portrait/Vertical Page View for Mobile Devices
Mobile devices are now able to view music in Portrait Mode.
Beam Demo Mode
Users without a Beam license can now explore the app through Demo Mode. Tap "Beam Demo Mode" at the bottom of the sign-in screen, then join one of the available ensembles to experience Beam as a temporary user.
Expanded Tappable Areas
The tappable areas for page turns have been expanded to 20% of the left and right edges on tablets and mobile in both landscape and portrait view mode. In portrait mode on mobile, the standard 10% tappable area remains, and no page turn button is shown to preserve the visibility of the music.
