QSheets
Stage sheets, setlists & MIDI
$5.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: start screen and setlists, Markdown chord charts, six colour themes, live search, MIDI patch editor with MIDI learn, and full offline use of your iCloud folder.
QSheets shows your sheets full screen, fast, and without scrolling. Put your chord charts, lyrics, lead sheets and PDFs in a folder in iCloud Drive and QSheets turns every folder into one screen of large buttons. One tap opens a song, one tap brings you back.
Built by a gigging keyboard player, for the stage: big, dark and simple, with a large clock and battery indicator you can read from a distance.
THE WHOLE FOLDER AT A GLANCE
All songs of a folder are shown at once as a grid of buttons, sorted alphabetically in columns. No scrolling, no hunting. Subfolders become buttons too, so you can make a folder per band, set or gig.
SETLISTS
Start a gig from the start screen: pick a setlist and play it in order. Tap right for the next song, left for the previous one. Build setlists by typing a few letters, drag songs into a new order, copy or move songs between setlists. Setlists are stored in iCloud, so all your devices share them.
FULL-SCREEN SHEETS
• Text (.txt) is made as large as possible without wrapping, monospaced so chord charts stay aligned
• Markdown (.md) with headings, bold, lists and colours for chords or sections
• PDF with page turning that continues into the next song, and a page jump: tap the page number to go straight to any page
• Images: JPG, PNG and HEIC, as big as possible with the right aspect ratio
TAP NAVIGATION
Left side: previous sheet or page. Right side: next. Middle: back to the folder or setlist.
BACKING TRACKS
Put an .mp3 with the same name next to a sheet and play, pause and stop buttons appear, with the remaining time. Audio keeps playing with the screen locked.
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGES
QSheets sends program changes (with optional bank select) and CC values to your synths the moment a sheet opens. Patches are stored in the file name or in a .patch file, with a patch editor and MIDI learn. Up to 16 numbered MIDI devices, MIDI thru, and an optional display of incoming MIDI. Notations for Nord Stage 3, Nord Stage 4 and Nord Wave 2 still work.
ICLOUD BASED, OFFLINE ON STAGE
Manage everything from your Mac, PC, icloud.com or the Files app. QSheets refreshes when files change and keeps every file downloaded, so no internet is needed during the gig.
MAKE IT YOURS
Six colour themes, 1 to 6 columns, inverted text sheets, an optional big first letter on each button, and live search over all your sheets.
Not just for music: use QSheets for lyrics, cue cards, quizzes, presentations or any set of pages you need to find fast.
QSheets has no ads, no accounts and no tracking. Your files stay in your own iCloud Drive.
