Nashville Numbers

They’ve made huge strides updating this app and cleaning up a lotta bugs and stuff. Right now my issue seems to be up retrieving saved charts. When I pull a chart from google drive or apple files apps, the nns app opens, but the song I tried to add isn’t there. NOTE: this seems to work fine when saving a chart to my iPhone, but it hasn’t been working on the iPad version of the app since the last update… hmm

So useful, really intuitive once you get familiar with the layout. Would love to see more organizational tools for saved songs in updates (folders to sort by artist or something?). The option to export as a pdf AND the editable NNS file is really useful too.

What a useful app. Aside from the occasional bug this app is incredibly useful for professional musicians. It allows for very quick charting with good arrangement detail. There are a few minor updates that will make this app outstanding: 1) The app needs to support landscape mode, at least on on iPad. 2) When copying sections, it would be great if it copied annotations too. 3) Annotations get easily wonky if any edits are made above them, ie adding a diamond pushes the chart down but not the annotations. Ideally the annotations should stay aligned with the row they are written on. 4) I would absolutely love the ability to add text. For Repeats I often type things like “x4” but this is not ideal because the numbers used in this way will still turn to chords in ABC mode. I prefer this over annotations because of the issues in #3 above. 5) A better way of showing time signature changes would be really useful. Annotations is also tough here due to #3 above. 6) Thr clear/delete functions are slightly confusing. This is manageable now but there could be some UX adjustments here to make it a bit more intuitive. 7) Allowing a tap to enter tempo would be amazing. This currently requires a second app. These are somewhat picky suggestions. The app overall is really useful, and these enhancements would solve most of the gaps I’ve encountered when using this for gig situations.

While I’m enjoying the app, there appears to be an issue when using the stylus to write notes. The stylus works fine in the Notes app. But in NNS, it starts out okay, there seems to be latency issues and then the letters look “wonky.” It’s almost as though it can’t render as written so it “cuts corners.” I have made sure the OS is up to date. I have also cleared the ram and closed all other apps. Since I do take a lot of notes, this is important to me. Thanks for your time.

Love the app and the ease of writing charts. I’ve used this a ton already and shared it amongst my bandmates who love the look of it as well. I do wanna ask if it’s possible to add parenthesis in the keyboard for chords that aren’t played in the song (a crows participation section or drum solo for example) and also a double line underneath the chords for quick passing chords. Also would love the ability to copy a chart I’ve already made so I can experiment with having two versions of the same chart, one in 2/2 and one in common for example. Wonderful app. Looking forward to using it more. Thank you so much!

Great app for the cost. Does exactly what I expected it to. Only two issues: the 'X's don't line up underneath numbers, looks uneven. And on the desktop app, it's cumbersome to use the mouse to input symbols. I know this is meant mostly for iPad, but it would be great to use it on the desktop as well. Highly recommend this app, even with the two issues! Makes my chart writing so much clearer, as opposed to my horrible handwriting

Top-notch digital app for making charts, efficiently and cleanly. Not much I would change about the chart making tool itself. However, the app is missing organizational features. User-made charts are listed alphabetically in one long list, rather than in individual files or modules such as “artist” or “genre”, which is a huge pain when searching for material on the spot. Of course, users can always export charts to their own organizational apps, but an internal filing system is surprisingly absent from this app. Hoping the developers will fix this feature in 2024! Thanks for making an awesome app for musicians in Nashville, and beyond!

My only qualm would be to add a maj/ min key for example a 2maj

I’m new to the Nashville Number system and had been writing charts out by hand. Now that I have others to play with, I’m using this app to make cleaner charts and quickly send them via email. Switching to the letter names is a HUGE feature - perfect for when you have musicians not accustomed to the number system. My only feature request would be text annotations, and the ability to insert a time signature change. Definitely check this one out!
