Ipad app - dislay song lyrics/song sheets
      #961897 - 04/01/12 10:23 PM
I guess my google-fu is running low tonight

I have just bought an Iklip as i want to utilise my ipad more (or should i say stop my mrs from using my ipad for just playing bloody cards or reading them stupid poinless book things)

when we are out gigging she is a bugger for not learning songs and resorts to a folder on a music stand, and to be honest i forget the odd chord. this is cumbersome, songs are hard to locate and the folder falls off sometimes

so what processes and apps are best for doing just that. I suppose i would have to tweak any down loaded lyrics/chords to match any of our arrangements like i do in word at the moment.

convert to PDF and use a PDF reader?

Have a look at the AirTurn and compatible apps

Or there's this chord pro reader app. Bloke in our band uses it and it's not bad, autoscroll, quick transpose etc. If your music sheets aren't in chord pro format there are free converters out there that do a reasonable job..
