SongSheet will sync its database of songs and setlists via iCloud. Once turned on, all devices on the same AppleID will share the same song library, and changes on one device will automatically propagate to the other devices. This will include all songs in a library, and all setlists.
Add the ability to make handwritten notes, etc, on a song, using an Apple Pencil or perhaps using the fingers/touch on devices that do not support Apple Pencil. --FROM MERGE-- This app is great except we can’t write on the song sheets with the stylus or apple pen. It’s a huge disadvantage and I would switch apps if I hadn’t paid so much. Please plleeeaasseee consider this as an upgrade. I would be so happy. Rosie B
Be able to control multiple devices from a single lead device, to keep all band members in sync displaying the same song automatically, etc.
Update themes so that fonts and colours can be specified for different stanza types and lyric lines. This will make it easier at a glance to differentiate the stanzas, etc, as well as spot different parts, harmonies, etc. --FROM MERGE-- It would be a great enhancement to this very usable app to be able to highlight lyrics text to differentiate/highlight backing vocals. If this is currently available….please tell me how! Love the App. Thank you --FROM MERGE-- Use case scenario would be such; To alert musicians or singers to portions of a song that may have special properties/ song implementation/customization such as alerting a singer to a portion of lyrics that are to be sung in falsetto, with vibrato, with emphasis, with backup vocals, or optional, etc. --FROM MERGE-- It would be important to include color options for verses, bridges … This would make it easier for duets. --FROM MERGE-- It would be nice to be able to change font colors or backgroung colors on parts of the text to indicate parts of the song that would require background vocals. --FROM MERGE-- I have been using another app only because verse, chorus, intro, etc. are able to automatically make the text words different colors. It really helps when on stage instead of all the text the same However, I think your procedures are much better --FROM MERGE-- To display parts which are harmony parts only, different colours to denote which member or members of the band are singing them
SongSheet on macOS.
Would love to be able to specify voicings for guitar chords and have them displayed on the chord sheet using chord diagrams. --FROM MERGE-- There are some songs I don’t play every often these may have a chord that I don’t normally use I think a good feature would be to be able to add the chord shape, just a simple design small enough to sit in between the words of a song showing what fret and dots where to put your fingers in the shape you want to use
Showing the capo fret number adjacent to the song key in set lists would be a huge help to know where to position the capo without having to first open the song. This drives efficiencies while performing and managing songs and set lists. Thank you.
Be able to step through songs (especially PDFs) page by page using a bluetooth pedal, rather than by section.
It would be helpful to easily adjust scrolling speed to make learning new songs easier.
Be able to make audio recordings within SongSheet to attach to songs/stanzas/etc.
Be able to display a song in 2 columns both on screen and when printing.
is it possible please to use numbers for chords - i.e. Nashville numbering system for chords. and also if we want to convert from letters to numbers to have that feature too. --FROM MERGE-- Please add option to transpose to Roman Numerals: Upper case for majors Lower case for minors --FROM MERGE-- Be able to add a chart of Nashville numbering at the top of a song to be able to accompany guitar --FROM MERGE-- Hiya, can you please add the option to input chords as numbered format otherwise known as the Nashville numbering system. A lot of session musicians use this method as it’s easier to transpose keys. Eg. in the key of C, C=1 Dm = 2 , Em =3, F = 4, G = 5, Am = 6. Etc… Heaps of info on the web about this.
Enable to search through the whole lyric for keywords
An on board Metronome would make this app even better! A Metronome that you could click on while viewing your song sheet would be so amazing! This metronome would need to have a feature where you can use it in stereo or have a right and left option in case we are running tracks and want to assign the click.
It would be nice to be able to search ultimate-guitar.com and import songs. SongbookPro has this feature implemented pretty nicely. --FROM MERGE-- Now we can only search from worshipready.com Please implement ultimateguitars,com api since they have most songs
It would be great to be able to add backing tracks from sources other than just through iTunes. This way it can all be done on an iPad without having to use a computer to upload songs into iTunes.
Could yall add PreChorus to the list of song sections (intro, verse, PreChorus, chorus, bridge) example
The ability to replace and save loaded names for stanzas with user defined terms, e.g., instead of Verse, Chorus I use V and C to save indentation real estate. I also use Outro, and Pre Chorus.
Change the capo position same as we change the key, without unnecessarily entering the Edit mode.
I use this app for music writing. It is an awesome app. It would be great to just have the ability to record with it. That would make it perfect for song writing or sharing arrangements with other members of the group.
Being able to zoom out (pinch) on imported pdfs. And using pdf markups to indicate notes and changes. Apple Pencil or stylus.
Currently SongSheet doesn't support the full range of formatting options that the on-screen themes support e.g. colour. It would be nice to be able to format generated PDFs (and printouts) with the same options as on-screen.
Adjustments and selecting different Settings for PDF Export of Setlist like Duration of Songs, BPM, Capo, Notes like Guitar Effects. Would be great if you can adjust and customize your setlists
I know I can create custom chords per song, but I’d like to be able to add to the library of options. I often need to add “NC” as a custom chord, and it’d be great to be able to add it once and be able to use it for every new song I add. There are other things I use, but not nearly as often as NC.
Add the ability to have a set list automatically sorted. At a minimum this should be sorted by song title. --FROM MERGE-- We often use the setlist feature as a song list I.e., there will be a list of 20-30-40 songs we will work on during a session and later sort them into sets of 10-20. It’s during the rehearsals that it’s often a pain to have to scroll through to find a particular number. Sorting them alphabetically, just added, or just edited would make a terrific program that much better and useable Thanks --FROM MERGE-- Give the possibility to rearange songs manually in a list. I want to have possibility of freely rearranging the order of the songs in a list by simply click, drag and drop
One touch to slowdown scroll and two touches to speed up scroll to enable all band members to be at the same place together
I’d like to slide songs from one set list into a new one, so if you have a 1.5 hour set you could make another 1 hour set that’s based on the original without having to go through the song list again.
Hope you can have a feature where we can lock a version as our base version of the song
I emailed awhile ago and wanted to check in about it. I play in several different bands and wish there was a way to have different and totally isolated ‘books’ within the app. 1 friend bypassed requesting this and now has 5 different apps to manage his master catalogue. Id love to have “old jazz” book, “classic jazz”, “Band #2 Book”, and so on. I now know multiple musicians that would love this feature. It’s too overwhelming to have 289 songs to look at, when I only want to see 48. Thank you
Please get rid of the tempo slider and let us type in the tempo
Often when changing keys, say up a third from G, what should be a Bb chord shows up as A#; this often happens if I use the capo function, say capo 3, then use ‘no capo’ for my keyboard player
Add an edit menu option for lyrics selections that provides a shortcut for capitalising selected words.
Add an optional column to the left of set lists that sequentially numbers (1,2,3,4…) each song. The numbering would stay as the set list gets rearranged. That would make it so much easier and faster locating a song in a long set list. As a gigging musician we often jump around in a set list, especially in long gigs with set lists that are 40-50 songs long. Simply scrolling down to a number would be so much easier than trying to spot a title.
Please add a feature to find the song and lesson on YouTube. It really helps with learning the song.
Be able to import/display songs that are in Word document format.
Ability to edit song in tabular 2 or 3 column format . (Side by side format) This allows easy edit for boy-girl formatting of song.
It would be great to have the app on non Apple devices --FROM MERGE-- Lots of additional users
Ability to search and find a set list by name Ability to search and find for song just within the set list
I wish if it supported Arabic copy and paste And especially the letter (ع) cause the app is not recognizing it
Didn’t the app have a “smart set list” feature where one could develop a set just with a keyword? I don’t remember what I used it for, but I remember it was convenient.
As a harmony singer it would be awesome if i could highlight certain text to remind me that’s where i come in. Also, highlighting phrases that are often hard tempos or difficult to remember would be great!!!!
iOS 18 allows for dark icons now. Songsheet Pro is the only app on my iPad that sticks out like a sore thumb amongst all my other (updated) dark icons. Thanks.
Allow each song to send a programmable midi program change number on opening. So as to be able to sync my settings on keyboard and drum machine via midi program change upon opening a particular song. --FROM MERGE-- With Song Lyrics Automatik send Midi Command for Roland BK7 or Diverse Keyboard. Midi Files or Performance. Like SongBook
Would be nice to see a revision date somewhere, we make changes and then have another copy, then forget which is the most recent
More formatting options and page layout for lyrics
Ability to stop the scrolling of a pdf when you play the backing track you’ve linked to the pdf.
It would be really handy to have a copy feature. For instance, if you import a PDF and convert the song, it is written over. It would be handy to be able to keep the original in that instance or make a copy in a different key for a player.
Thank you!
I want to be able to see my lyrics I’m using and the Setlists at the same time so I know which song is next without having to close the lyrics I’m using
An additional line (maybe in italics) to not have extra chords, but to denote that there are backing vocals which aren’t the same line as the main vocal line
Show large number count in when using tempo, i.e. 4, 3, 2, 1 on the screen
Add the possibility to add a sticky note to a pdf (maybe changes structure or notes on how to play each part) on a moveable note
Add a 2 page view and horizontal scroll
Some songs are shorter and it would be nice to be able to zoom in on those without it affecting other songs.
When using a capo; I would love to be able to transpose a key and the chords transpose with it. Will create customs with hyphens to show a quick chord pattern turn around (G-C-D) for example. Only the root chord changes.
I use mainly PDF files. When the PDF file is only one page long, but longer than the page view, (meaning scroll doesn’t work), I can’t see the bottom of the lyrics or music because that scroll feature doesn’t recognize that it’s more than one page. So many of my lyrics and chords are cut off at the bottom of the page.
I’d like to have parts of my set list labeled already rather than every time having to edit “Set”
Used to be able to create a new chart from various areas of the app including a set list. It would then add to the set list and also to the full library. Option has been removed.
I find Worshipready.com quite limited in their library. Please add more resources to integrate with, like Praisecharts.com
This will be very helpful for all those who play wind instruments
Hello. I miss an undo-bottom. Have ex. try to delete a song in my set by a mistake and it would be nice there with this function. Regards Claus Andreassen
Have the flexibility of stanza and song changing with my foot, would be a real blessing.
Have the ability to link stanzas to specific time codes to have a more accurate scrolling speed for different sections of a song.
Have a template to create a chord chart for instrumental music. Chose time signature and number of bars to add chords to similar to band-in-a-box.
Problem: Currently, the chord chart pages in the app cannot be aligned to the right. This creates difficulties for users who read and write in right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic, as the text layout feels unnatural and harder to follow. Proposed Solution: Introduce an option for right-to-left (RTL) alignment. This feature would allow users to switch the chord chart display so that text and chords align to the right side of t
you can import songs that other people make and put the most popular at the top
For us computer illiterate users, simply step by step instructions, that we can actually repeat unsupervised.
Add an option to the filter or sort for No Tag. There’s no way other than looking at every file to find songs without a tag. Adding to the pdf/csv export is another option.
I play in a wedding band (piano) as well as doing solo gigs (guitar and vocals). There are a lot of songs that overlap in the Band and Solo playlist but most of them are in different keys (as well as using capo for the guitar playlist). I would like to be able to set an individual key against the same song but it different playlists (“A” in the Band playlist but “C Capo 3” in the Solo playlist.
Often I like to have a few measures of sheet music displayed for an intro or outdo for piano or other instrument. I would like to paste an image into the chart.
Add a function that will scramble the list of songs in a set list into a new, random order.
Adding a field at the bottom left for “Other” or something similar (such as a YouTube URL) would big help, rather than have to bring up a full- sized note, it would be easily visible from the song itself.
I would like to be able to mix songs with arranged accompaniment and prepare my arrangements for a performance instead of playing complete songs.
The ability to line up lyrics and chords with corresponding beats and bar line I real pro hybrid style
Gabe, the A-Z scroll column on the right side of the library list is far too small to actually use with a finger swipe. Occasionally it engages, most of the time not and is useless but needed. Can you make the font size adjustable or make that column a wider piece of the view, and thus more real-estate for a finger tip swipe to engage in. There is a lot of unused and available space to the left of that column. Thank you. Terry
To adjust pdf sheets in the app.
Please allow a zooming feature. This is a killer to not have. Makes app not worth it.
It would be super helpful if there was a stage plot editor included. Thanks!
Photo behind lyrics on external display and same font size from stanza to stanza
Music With Chords And Songs
Allow a midi control sequence to be added to each song that can control modeling hardware. Actually would be great to have several attached to a song that could be selected as default in settings. If someone uses two different guitars and has separate rigs for each guitar then a default setting for say g1 or g2 would send the appropriate midi control when the song was selected
Self-explanatory, it’s a pain to have to hit shift every time I wanna capitalize. Also would be incredibly helpful to be able to highlight the stanzas/lyrics that only I’m singing.
MIDI section to select playlist, song, and part of song( intro, verse, chorus, etc.) connect with macOS or other devices through Bluetooth or WiFi
Can you add an option to add a pre count before the start of a song? So you’ll get a count in. Seems to me a useful function.
Se debería permitir dibujar o agregar imágenes de cómo se hace algún tono en la canción
Have it click or tap at start of a song
I have performance notes (eg quiet picking on this verse) and harmony note names, inline with the songs. It would be great if I could distinguish them from the songs with bold, colour, etc. It would also be great to show the parts I sing and don't sing the same way.
- add the ability to set the length of each song, either mm:ss or decimal minutes. - in a set list (on screen and when exported/printed), show the cumulative time at the start of each song, so I can track how I am going with my time through the set. At the moment I do this by manually adding the time at the start of each song title, and have to change it for each set.
This would be an excellent feature and improve consistency and ease and speed of update. This would be great. We keep and maintain our entire repertoire on this excellent app. Many Thanks, Paul
1. Ability to enlarge song lyrics and chord font sizes on external display (non demo mode) 2. Font color choices for each stanza.
Many times we’ll mashup songs and it would be handy to allow the user to jump to another chart from a link in the current chart.
It would be nice to be able to export only the lyrics for the singers that don’t need chords. Thank you.
It would be good to have the option to export songs or set lists with the information you want. For example, excluding the key if you’re saying the set list with a client or including the artist name etc etc
Be able to draw over pdfs with your finger with a range of colors
Be able to scroll through the sheet while playback is playing without pausing the playback. Right now, regardless if the audio is synced or not with the scrolling, if I touch the screen the audio playback stops. This is very bad for live performance, as any touch to the screen would disrupt the playback from playing. There should be an option to detach playback with the scrolling, so we can scroll freely and the audio will keep playing
It would be nice to be able to drag the chords freely to any position, without being tied to the end of a line. For example, I’d like to move the chords from above the lyrics to below the lyrics, because that’s how I learned to play when I was younger.
Sometimes I enjoy singing some of my older songs & It would be nice to be able to go to a bookmarked page to continue where I left off. Iʻd like to have maybe 1-3 book markers, to "jump to" where I was last. This could also help band members remember where they left off in the practice. =)
I try to include audio files to all my songs. But I also want to be able to sing it without the audio file. My request is to have a button to show that there is an MP3 file, and to easily click a button to disable the audio. Going one step further I wish I could attach another audio file that would be just instrumental, Without vocals.
When I don't have time to backtrack with the arrangement, It would nice to be able to be able to backtrack with the auto scroll but I don't use that feature because I can't pull up the text or push it down when it is not in sync with the music. If you could make the lyrics, just as fluid as the auto scroll being able to pull the words up and down during the backing track without auto scroll, that would really help,
Having more printing options would be great. Personally, I would like to print my set list with the title and artist, rather than key and duration so my audience could ask for requests from the list. I would also like to resort alphabetically by name or artist for printing only without changing the actual set list in its performance order. Thanks!!
