Topic: "computerized" charts |

I've noticed several players using tablets or laptops onstage for reading charts as opposed to individual pieces of paper. Is there a program you can buy with charts already downloaded where you can just call them up as needed or do you have to write a chart then somehow import into a program which can be read through the tablet?
This seems like a much more efficient way of dealing with charts and set lists. Anybody know how this is done and what is needed to do it?

| Gary, USE AN IPAD. DOWNLOAD UNREALBOOKS FROM APP STORE. THEN I TAKE A PICTURE OF THE WORDS AND TABS. IT WILL ASK YOU FOR A TITLE AND PRESS SAVE. IT WILL THEN BE LISTED A-Z. EARL |

iRealBook is another... and it will play accompaniment for you too! It's sold bare, then you go to the website and download the song packages, mostly free... this is to get around copyrights etc (the Real Book has always been sketchy that way, even in print form). Change keys, tempo, even styles. Get it from the iTunes AppStore, runs well even on an iPhone 4.

I use an IPad. I use an app called 1chart to write charts, and another app called unreal book to view them in.
If you want to hand write your charts, another app called Tiny Scan works great to "scan" them in using your phone or tablet.
**i had to use my iPad to shine a bit of light on my fretboard last night in a dark club.lol

Has anyone used a program called forScore, I've heard it is good.
Also, if buying an Ipad to use exclusively for this application any feel for how much memory is needed?

| I spent $150.00 at a local pawn shop. It needs one with a camera and wi-fi |

I use a Android pad (Nexus, or the like) with a program called Lyric Pad that costs under $4. I create the files on the computer in Notepad and copy to the device. The program indexes the titles and scrolls the words on screen at a programmable rate. You can also build set lists, so when you have over 900 songs in it as I do, this makes it a bit more efficient.

OnSong (for Ipad) was recommended by a friend who was playing acoustic guitar solo and singing. Ocasionally he had some backup music going on while he was performimg. ... told me he was using OnSong.
I downloaded the app. It has A LOT of options controlling text size, controlled scrolling speed of text, you can highlight, make notes etc.
It has a lot of help videos too. Check them out.
It is 20 bucks (or a few bucks more for an add-on if you need it) which is a lot for an app, but it will do most everything you need without having to compromise. You need an ipad though.

Unreal book already has a photo to PDF function so there is no need for a scanning app.
I also suggest getting a good protective case for your iPad . They are not sturdy enough for stage use without them in my experience.
