Hello everyone.
I bought a new iPad, and wanted to know if someone knows a very good iPad app for sheetmusic for live gig usage?

MusicReader http://www.musicreader.net/

I work on the files on the PC, and sync to the iPad.

I "print" pdf files (usually from Sibelius) using MusicReader supplied print driver, manage the files in MusicReader's library, annotate the sheet music and create playlists for each program. Images are crisp and clear, making it easy to read even on the small iPad screen.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't been having luck with a few sheet music viewing apps I've purchased like ForScore. I go to their darkroom section where I'm supposed to take pics with my new iPad (3). I do but then I can't get the orientation to stop rotating the wrong way. I'm going to try UnReal book (never heard of it before).
I have a new 2012 book called MAKE MUSIC WITH YOUR iPAD.

Songbook Plus allows you to use it with a Yamaha, using the registrations to pull up the pdf on the ipad. I believe it works the other way around also.

Can the unReal book do the same?

I just had an issue on Saturday night at a wedding. The bride's Father requested a song. I didn't have it on my iPad, but my Bass Player did. With UnRealbook, you can use the iPad camera to take a photo of the sheet music and add it into your Unrealbook as a PDF. SWEET!!!

I Love UnRealBook.....I'm scanning ALL my Fake books into PDF's
