#333616 - 11/21/11 01:40 PM Sheet music display on iPad
montunoman Senior Member Registered: 10/20/09 Posts: 3247 Loc: Dallas, Texas	So I just took the plunge into the iPad world mainly to display my charts. What apps do you iPad users recommend to display lead sheets?

This setup has revolutionized the way I play music! _________________________ Al Pa4x - LD Systems Maui 28 - Mackie Thumps

montunoman Senior Member Registered: 10/20/09 Posts: 3247 Loc: Dallas, Texas	Also I have several songs that I wrote lead sheets by hand. Is there a way to scan them and put them on the iPad? Thanks Al. I'll look into those. _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

hammer Senior Member Registered: 01/27/08 Posts: 2414 Loc: Texas	I don't agree - I had Unreal Books and found another App that works better - GoodReader. I converted thousands of leadsheet into PDF format and use Itunes to transfer them from my Macbook to my Ipad. Deane

Scott Langholff Senior Member Registered: 06/09/02 Posts: 3165 Loc: Pensacola, Florida, USA	So which page turner is better? Pageflip: http://www.pageflip.com/Home_Page.html Or AirTurn? http://airturninc989.corecommerce.com/Bl...-Board-p82.html Is the AirTurn one unit or three seperate units that can slide around?

Scott Langholff Senior Member Registered: 06/09/02 Posts: 3165 Loc: Pensacola, Florida, USA	Is this the X holder that is being used for the ipad or are there other X holders? http://www.thegigeasy.com/index.html BTW, I just contacted them to find out if they have or will have a model that will fit the other tablets that are flooding the market.

PraiseTheLord Member Registered: 08/24/04 Posts: 782 Loc: N Fort Myers, FL, USA	Hi Scott, MusicReader 4 uses PDFs. I use the AirTurn page turner. Occasionally I have to restart MR on the iPad at the beginning of a gig to get it to work, but otherwise it works flawlessly. I use the xClip which is a fair bit cheaper, on a 13" gooseneck to bring the iPad closer to me.

SemiLiveMusic Senior Member Registered: 08/28/04 Posts: 2208 Loc: Louisiana, USA	First thing I thought of was... is the click going to be audible? (Not good!) The Airturn promote is that it is silent. I don't know about the Pageflip. Anyone got one? It costs less. _________________________ ~ ~ ~ Bill

kbrkr Senior Member Registered: 11/19/02 Posts: 2867 Loc: Tampa, FL	UnRealBook allows you to make Playlists from the songs already on your iPad. You can use the build in Camera to actually take a photo of sheet music from another musicians book and convert it to a PDF, create a bookmark, and add it to your playlist in about 40 seconds. UnRealBook uses bookmarks so if you have a sheet in a FakeBook on page 532, simply create a bookmark add it to your playlist and when you select that song, it will automatically display that page without delay. UnRealbook will allow Sync to all the iPads in a band to turn the page at the same time from One pedal (leader/conductor). It has a built in music player so you can link an MP3 to sheet music and play the song from your playlist. You can have Multiple Playlists. You can re-order your playlists easily by using drag-and-drop. You can annotate music/scores on the fly and they retain the notation. You can edit/create your own lyrics or add lyrics to a song. It has a built in metronome. and on, and on, and on. This is why I like it. Edited by kbrkr (11/22/11 04:34 AM) _________________________ Al Pa4x - LD Systems Maui 28 - Mackie Thumps

korg4god Member Registered: 12/22/05 Posts: 171 Loc: Dodge City, Kansas 67801	Although I don't yet have an ipad, I am planning on purchasing one in the near future and a friend told me about an app he uses on his call Onsong, which is the best app for worship leaders using an ipad. It will import charts and songs directly from Song Select (the library service of CCLI license holders, which avery church and ministry should have) and has all the features you need for leading worship including bluetooth technology for sharing your list with other musicians and doing page turns, pulling up songs on the fly, etc. Jeff _________________________ Musician / K-6 Music Teacher Dodge City Schools -USD 443 Forte Music School http://forte.musicteachershelper.com

I do use Good Reader it's a great app, just don't use it for lead sheets, but for owner's manuals and a ton of other important PDFs. ScottL I prefer the PageFlip versus the "AirTurn". It's a neat self contained pedal with rubber backing so it doesn't slide all over the floor. I use the xclip

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5546 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	I sometimes sing over Karaoke tracks. I am using a netbook but want something smaller. Does anyone know if Ipad or Android has an app to play them. It must be able to change key and import files from my pc. I could use MP3 and scan the lyrics, but I have a good size library of MP3&G as well as CD&G.

RobertG Member Registered: 05/08/06 Posts: 464 Loc: Southeastern PA, USA	I recently got iGigBook. Has a crazy great fake book index. You can add your own PDFs too. Does set lists. Doesn't have the annotation features of UnRealBook. I'm going to use it on a job this weekend.

hammer Senior Member Registered: 01/27/08 Posts: 2414 Loc: Texas	I create playlists with my GoodReader also. It is very easy to use - doesn't require additional hardware and is updated as the author makes improvements. If you are using leadsheets as opposed to 2-staff piano music most of them fit on one screen - no page turning needed! I downloaded all these programs - the cost was well under $50.00 for all of them and after trying them I landed on GoodReader. Deane
