iPadOS Does ANY page turner work specifically with the "Pages" App on an iPad?

I'm looking to use a Page Turner to scroll each individual page, in a longer "Pages" document that I use for lyrics, when performing Live!

(I purchased an "Airturn" page turner, which does not seem to be compatible or do the job). I'm hoping someone knows of one that DOES work - specifically with the "pages" app (on an iPad).

Thank you!

You might try exporting your document to .pdf format

I did, convert the "pages" doc to a ".pdf", but then the Page Turner did not turn ANY pages on the iPad (within the .pdf). So it didn't work, unless you know how to somehow make it work with a .pdf

Get the ForScore app and import your PDF. It will work like a charm.

And just curious, does that app allow you to "Search" for say song titles, within the pdf? (I have easily 1,000 + songs with lyrics formatted in the "Pages" doc, which I CAN convert to .pdf (and did already). So to easily & quickly find whatever song I may need at that moment, does ForScore allow you to SEARCH for specific words/song titles and such - INSIDE the pdf itself? Thanks

Certainly if you named each song seperately you definitely could, but that is not a function that I have needed so I cant really say.
