Tunebook

Perfect for keeping your tunes handy for a quick refresher during practice or at a session. The player is excellent, with a speed control and a choice of instrument voices. Display rendering is very readable. It would be nice if tunes could be organized into playlists, or sorted for browsing. But even without these features, this is a great little app and I'll be using it a lot

I'm new to the ABC music notation format, but now that I know about it I certainly see it's power. This cool little $2 app makes it shine. A feature that I'd like to see added is the ability to just show a chord chart for a tune. I'm envisioning the chords displayed in landscape format with nice, large characters. That way I could hand my iPod to a guitarist or a piano player and they'd be able to read the Chord chart right off the device (without squinting). Cool app.

This app does what it says it will. You upload your abc collections using the built in web server. Then you can create tunebooks and manually attach selected tunes. A bit tedious but it works. I use it for dance tunes. On my screen the music is too small. It would be nice if the app optimized the view for you. And really, to play from it would require a bigger screen. But as a memory aide, a nice little program.

The example screenshots don't show it, but lyrics work well. Multi-voice music displays properly, but only the top line plays back reliably, which limits its use as a tool for choral composers / arrangers.

Very good app for sheet music, in general. You can add your own music (in .abc format), you can personalize playlists and collections, and it has a MIDI player. It does ok with bagpipe music.
