If you have books of music, it will let you select out just a few pages and index them separately from the book. It is easy to transfer songs or groups.of songs from one device to the other (complete with annotations). I use it on my phone for pop gigs with simple charts and it also controls my keyboard's midi sounds. I use the computer for jazz & reading gigs and it will display 2 pages at once if the computer is placed in landscape mode.

IREAL PRO IPAD AIR WINDOWS
I find it great as I have a Samsung phone and a Windows computer.
IREAL PRO IPAD AIR ANDROID
It is just on Windows and Android at the moment, as far as I am aware. If anybody is interested in mobilesheets Pro, I should mention that I think it does not operate on Apple products. For the iffy results so far, this SongbookPro/iCloud-based effort has been an annoying time-suck. Heck, if getting a non-Apple tablet simplified things more, I'd do it.

Would be awesome to find a tablet-based app that would allow simple phone photo imports (from Google Photos or Drive) and allow organizing into a library and varied set lists. Including a previous couple-hour effort, there are apparently 3 pages now in my iCloud: two of which turn up in SongbookPro, one is greyed-out.Īre there any super-simple and quick apps for getting my years of charts into digital format? Though I use Apple for computer-based production (plus the iPad), my phone is Android (also have an Acer laptop PC, along with the 2012 MBP) After today's session of messing with this, I think I'm done. When they do turn up on iCloud, then it's a 50/50 chance they'll be found when attempting an import on SongbookPro. I scan files from a printer/scanner into my MacBook Pro, but despite it being listed as a destination, the files rarely end up on my iCloud (it's kind of random). SongbookPro works capably on my 2015 iPad Air 2, but iCloud importing is a multi-step mess. The app can pull files from iCloud or import from a website (Ultimate Guitar and others).
IREAL PRO IPAD AIR FREE
This doesn't show the iPad, but the sheet music is where it would go.After seeing how a fellow keys player had her charts arranged on an iPad, I downloaded the free version of SongbookPro (12 chart limit) to see if it'd work for me. The track is routed out to a small mixer next to it on the music stand, adding my sax + reverb, and the whole mix goes to the PA. Right now my current rig is the iPad stuck on a music stand using ForeScore to play the track while it shows the lead sheet. Beside just holding sheet music it can let you attach an audio file to the page, so you can play a track while you study the transcription, or play a backing track while you play the head or solo. This was a problem because it didn't fit in the stand clips that the bandleader insisted everyone use (control freak), which led me to find the Spigen cover.įoreScore is pretty versatile. I had an iPad case I really liked but once the iPad was in it was in for good. The thing to keep in mind when choosing a case is how hard is it to get the iPad in/out of the case, and will it fit in the stand holder while still in the case if it doesn't come out of the case easily. My only concern is the potential for glare from the screen cover.thoughts on that anyone? I suppose it probably wouldn't be any worse than paper charts in those plastic sleeves. I don't think I'd be as careless with the ipad (I carry my laptop around the house and elsewhere all the time, and have never dropped it), but still want something that will protect it from accidents on stage, such as a drunk dancer careening into the band stand.

Granted, I'm much less careful with it than I would be if I didn't know it was safe in the Otterbox, but still. I'm a clutz and literally drop my phone on a nearly daily basis. I was thinking an Otterbox, because I've had those for my iphones, and they have definitely saved them MANY times. Not sure when you got yours, but the new ones are $200!Īs for a case, I'm definitely interested in what others have to say about what they've got. I am getting an apple pencil with the ipad. I was planning to get it.unless anyone has other suggestions, but some local musician friends have also suggested that one. Click to expand.Well, I haven't gotten FourScore yet bc I just ordered the ipad this morning, but that app is on my radar.
