Lead Sheets XML
Transposition on the fly
$9.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Lead Sheets XML is built for any musician who has ever needed to transpose music in the moment. Load a MusicXML lead sheet, pick your key and clef, and get a clean, readable score in seconds — no desktop software, no reprinting.
WHO IT'S FOR
Singers: transpose any chart to your key and share a clean PDF with your band and accompanist in seconds.
Instrumentalists: adjust the key on the fly to match your singer, or accommodate a last-minute key change without reprinting a thing.
Bb instruments (or any other transposing instrument): always have your music in the right transposition — no more mental math mid-rehearsal.
"Alternate clef" instruments (viola, cello, you know who you are) : switch any treble-clef chart to alto/tenor/bass clef instantly, and adjust the octave to fit your range.
