You can choose between three display modes:
Scroll Mode
Reading Mode
Score Roll
The ideal display mode depends on your device’s screen size and your goals (practicing, annotating, or just flipping through).
That depends on the device, web, or app and whether you’re using standard sheet music or interactive sheet music:
Desktop: in the top menu → View Options
Smartphone:
Standard scores:
Portrait: in the top menu → View Options
Landscape: in the top menu → View Options
Interactive scores:
Portrait: in the 3-dot menu → View Options
Landscape: in the top menu → View Options
Tablet:
Portrait: in the top menu → View Options
Landscape: in the top menu → View Options
Smartphone:
Standard scores: in the bottom menu → View options
Interactive scores: in the 3-dot menu → View options
Tablet:
Standard scores: in the top menu → View options
Interactive scores: in the bottom menu → View options
The Scroll mode works best if you want to use the autoscroll function while playing or annotating. This is the most flexible option for both standard scores and interactive scores and one of two space-saving settings – perfect for small screens.
The Reading Mode is often used on devices with bigger screens and for tablets, and it gives you the best sheet music feeling. Please note that Autoscroll doesn't work in this mode. Instead, you can turn pages by clicking the arrows at the edge of the screen (Desktop) or by swiping left or right (Smartphone, Tablet).
Score-Roll displays the bars horizontally and the notes move from right to left when you use Autoscroll or when you play interactive notes. This setting is perfect for smartphones and shows the notes as big as possible. It's only available in landscape mode on mobile devices. All interactive functions can be used, but you can't add annotations.

In scroll mode, you always just see a single page. In reading mode, you can pick whether a single page or two pages show up at the same time. The two-page view is especially nice for big screens.
