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)

I’ve used this app for years with so many performances and have hundreds of songs I’ve collected and paid for from iTunes and now, it seems the site is not supported or updated and its not allowing me to add any more to it. Tried to reach developer web page and it never opened! Whats the deal? Very frustrated! Any help please? September14, 2020. I see most reviews are from a few years back. Does this app even work now??

This is an amazing app for a performing cover band musician like me. I read some of the low star reviews and I don’t get it. It seems like they didn’t spend a couple minutes in the app before using it. They just expected it to work the way they imagined it to. Ian’s support is fast and intelligent. It is loaded with features, even some I don’t use, and is extremely easy to load charts from Google Drive. I’m trying to talk my keyboard players into using it so they can get automatic patch changes and we won’t have to wait for them during performances. And it’s almost free! How can anyone complain about the price !? I hope they sell a million of them!

Great Basic Tool

My team and I really enjoy using this app to store our lead sheets and chord charts for us. It’s cost-effective and it just plain works. **The main thing the team and I fell that this app needs is the ability to directly mark, highlight and add notes onto our stored music sheets . This addition and ability would be very helpful and I hope that the developers consider adding this feature to the app. Right now there is a drop-down box to add notes into and it becomes cumbersome when you’re trying to perform and read your sheet music and notes because the drop down notes make the music so small it’s difficult to read.

Just What I Needed!

I love this app. It has just the right amount of functionality without a lot of extra complications. I gig in multiple bands, mostly as a keyboard player (so it doesn’t have to be just lyrics). I make my lead sheets and print them as PDFs, AirDrop them to the iPad into My Lyric Book. Set lists can be made for multiple bands/events with different sets of song selections, and edited/re-ordered (drag and drop) as shows evolve. And the low price! Thank you
