Tabs, lyrics & stems
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
SheetMuse — native sheet music that scrolls with the song, plus chords, tabs, lyrics & stems. Not a PDF ad viewer.
SheetMuse is the practice app for musicians: synced chords, guitar tabs, lyrics, native sheet music, and stems — one app. Not a PDF viewer with ads.
SHEET MUSIC
Engraved Sheet Music moves with the playhead. Native notation for practice — the flagship SheetMuse view.
CHORDS, TABS & LYRICS
Chord banner and karaoke lyrics stay locked to the track. Guitar Tab on the beat grid. Fretboard chord diagrams for every change.
STEMS & TRANSPOSE
Mute or solo vocals, guitar, piano, drums, bass. Slow down, speed up, and transpose without losing lock.
BAND SYNC & SETLISTS
Rehearse together on the same Wi‑Fi. Build setlists for gigs and lessons.

more Downloaded with much anticipation but am highly disappointed. Looked up one song great and then when I try to look for a different song everything I touch just keep bring up the previous song. Can’t get out of it. Don’t want to and should not have to go through the hassle of deleting the app and reinstalling it. Either needs to be fixed or if I’m missing something better instructions need to be made available.
