My Lyric Book

Description

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, on their iPhone. 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 on your computer. You can create them in Pages, WOrd, pdf, rtf or txt format then simply transfer them to your phone using the iTunes file transfer system (on the Apps tab for your device), or using the file manager app on your device. 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 everyones 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).

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 BT-105(http://www.airturnaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=157) or Pageflip Cicada pedals to scroll through your lyrics. You can select what each pedal does in the Settings app, though note that if you only have two pedals they're probably numbered 1 and 3 - that's just how the BT pedals work.

NOTE: No lyrics are included with the App. It displays lyrics you've already prepared.

HANDY HINTS:
You can swipe to advance to the next song, or back to the previous one.
You can email songs to yourself as attachments.
If the auto-rotation gets in the way, remember you can turn it off in preferences.
Normally you can't delete songs incase you wipe it by accident during a gig (ouch!). You need to enable this in preferences too.
To rename a set-list just click on it while in edit mode.
Check the "support" link at the top this page for more info.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THOSE STRUGGLING TO ADD LYRICS:
To add lyrics to the app first connect your device to iTunes (PC), or the Mac Finder
Select your device in the left hand bar
Select the files tab
Expand the My Lyric Book App in the File sharing area
Drag and drop your files into the area labeled Documents.
They will then be copied to the device and appear in the Lyric Book App.

Useless app.. please someone make something better

No option to delete duplicate lyrics.. embarrassingly basic and clunky.. please come up with an update which makes editing easier and I’ll consider changing my review

A great app

I use this app a lot and find it extremely useful. I have it on both an iPad and my iPhone. Very easy to load in songs in word or pdf format using ITunes . If the app allowed auto scrolling on song sheets I’d give it five stars and I’d ask the developer to consider adding this feature

I have used this app on stage and at rehearsals and studio and at singaround jam sessions for as long as it has existed and I love it but a few issues with it have cropped up for my use anyway: 1. There is no built in search engine to find random requests and such like. 2. I was using it with backing tracks(mainly my own) but now I can’t load up my latest backing tracks, as the only backing track option is to choose from my iTunes purchases library, which I can no longer update, due to stupid legal reasons! Why can’t you just use or enable the app to link to an MP3 player instead of having to use iTunes? My old iPad 1 still plays everything beautifully, but I can’t update the machine because it is too old, and software updates aren’t available for it! I’m able to use the app and load all my PDF lyrics and even JPEGs on my subsequent two iPads which are newer, but still can’t load a batch of backing tracks! Very annoying. I’m currently experimenting with using a different stand alone mp3 player, but I’m having troubles trying to find the correct tracks when I need them to play, due to the small display and lack of search and cue functionality of the aforementioned MP3 player. Have you any plans to update the app with this functionality or do you have any helpful suggestions as to how I should get around these issues??? Would really appreciate your help thanks!👍🎼🙂.

Absolute rubbish. Don’t waste you money.

Dreadful app - the developer cannot be a gigging musician to have produced something as unpractical as this. You cannot move lyrics already installed on your iPad or smartphone directly to this app. You have to use a computer with iTunes to generate a suitable file for transferring your lyrics to this app. I have all my lyrics on my iPad already contained in Apple’s Notes app - they are not on my computer as I back up to iCloud. Also you cannot copy and paste lyrics from the Internet and paste them directly into this app. I bought this App for ease of use and speed. I do not want to be faffing about moving files around between devices to get this to work, which, presumably, it does eventually.

Can not sync with folder as suggested

Impossible for me to sync docs from Mac to iPad for this app to read - I’d love to have a refund if possible as this app is useless to me

Garbage

Why can’t you get a refund from the App Store? This app is not fit for purpose. Total garbage. It doesn’t do what it claims. It’s been made by a part time app maker I think, otherwise it would have been improved by now.

Simple and very economic

I needed something that would allow me to make set-lists and to also have my full repertoire on hand. I checked with Ian whether this app would work and be simple to use and oh yes, it it and it does. I can edit lyrics on my MacBook and AirPlay to my iPad. So what? What’s the big deal with that and you would be right to ask. Well, no need for iTunes, and when sending the lyrics, they automatically get listed automatically (make sure you title your edited lyric sheet on your PC/Mac). I don’t understand how or why other purchasers had a problem - I’m not technical but this is sooo easy! Excellent value; great piece of kit. Steve

Waste of money

This app was such a waste!!! The description shows one thing and the app doesn’t do anything like it says... it just takes you to Apple page and that’s it.. Please do not waste your money on this!!!

Disgraceful

Completely unusable, nothing like the descriptions and if I could have given no stars that would have been more accurate. All it does is direct me to iTunes, no help at all and a total waste of £2.99. Can I get a refund ?.

My Lyric Book

It’s a great app,
