Every singer as an A4 folder of songs they bring to rehersal, but now they can have all of their lyrics with them all the time. You can also create setlists of songs which can be edited and reordered. Setlists and individual songs shared with the rest of the band by email, iMessage, Airdrop, or printing them out. Rather than searching online for other other people's versions of songs, this app displays your lyrics, which you've formatted as you want them (either on a computer or another app on your iPad). You can create them in Pages, Word, pdf, rtf or even jpg format then simply transfer them into the app. While initially designed for singers, PDF scores look amazing, so the whole band can get in on the act. Not only does My Lyric Book remember your lyrics and set lists, but songs can be tagged with a tempo for the built in metronome, or linked to tracks in your iTunes library so you can refer to a recorded version or play a backing track from within the app. You can even send and receive midi patch changes, so selecting a song programs your keyboard for you (or have your lyrics selected for you via midi)! If the rest the band is using the app too, then you can all sync up, so that the band leader can select songs and have them automatically selected on everyone's screens. (Note this DOES NOT distribute the lyrics, but selects each band member's version, so each band member can see their own parts as they've set up their devices). The app also automatically syncs with our backing track apps: My Playback and My Playback Solo. Of course your lyrics look even better on an iPad, but an iPhone or iPod has plenty of screen space to display lyrics and you can always have it in your pocket. You can use Airturn, Pageflip, M-Vave or other bluetooth pedals to scroll through your lyrics or select what each pedal does in the Settings app. NOTE: No lyrics are included with the App. It displays lyrics you've already prepared. Lyrics can be added from a computer, via the Files app, or imported from other apps. More info is on our website, including a series of tutorial videos: https://www.dctsystems.co.uk for more info. If you have any problems, then email me before leaving a negative review - I want the app to work great for you, and can usually sort out any problems. I can't respond directly to reviews, but most of the issues raised, could have been resolved by an email (ian@dctsystems.co.uk)
