Tunebook is now identical to the Tunebook for iPad application - don't buy both! I keep both on the App Store because it's not possible to provide an upgrade path to a single app without forcing some users to pay twice. Tunebook is a viewer for music expressed in the ABC format. ABC is a simple text-based notation for music and many thousands of tunes are freely available in this format on the Web. ABC is also supported by many music applications. See http://abc.sourceforge.net/ for more details on the ABC format. The format is primarily geared towards traditional folk music where tunes fit on a single page. Tunebook allows you to import files in the ABC format from websites into its database. You can then list the tunes, search for tunes by words in the title, by key and by time signature. Selecting a tune will display it in musical notation and allow you to play it in a variety of voices. You can also create tunebooks to organize your tune collection. Tunebook is based on the well-known abc2ps and abc2midi applications, and licensed under the GPL. The source code is available from http://www.jhlabs.com/tunebook.

    Great but loses edita
    I use this app every and I love it when it works. A massive bug makes it lose edits to ABC tunes. I spent hours tweaking a few tunes last night, and this morning they all reverted to the previous version. Store backups of your edits elsewhere. It’s so frustrating. Show more

    Really useful.
    Great for tune storage. Easy to access or search for tunes. Easy to edit the ABC notation. Sorting by title, meter, key. The import functions are nice, too, from thesession.org and other places, or from a local web server. All around, a well-done app. Show more

    Needs iCloud sync
    App works well and is mature. The ability to search and find tunes on the web is great. But in this day and age I assume that whatever I do on my phone will be the same in my iPad and vice versa. No so with this app. Anything I put in one place has to be manually moved/copies to the other. Show more

    Won't import tunes
    I've used Abcnotation a good bit. My band has a book of about 2010s are set up on the web. But I'll look at it with a browser, I threw the ABC code. When I tell this program to import it, it just says they didn't find any ABC files in index.HTML. Show more

    Crashes
    This app has crashed repeatedly. Every time I've opened it for more than one minute it closes itself without warning. Not particularly easy to use, hard to add tunes to. How do I get my money back? Show more

    Bought for bagpipe music
    Very good app for sheet music, in general. You can add your own music (in .abc format), you can personalize playlists and collections, and it has a MIDI player. It does ok with bagpipe music. Show more

    Hit and miss for choral music
    The example screenshots don't show it, but lyrics work well. Multi-voice music displays properly, but only the top line plays back reliably, which limits its use as a tool for choral composers / arrangers. Show more

    can
    I downloaded the app to my Iphone. It won't open, so I can't use it. When I try to contact the developer, I get the support screen and there is no contact information. Itunes can't help. What a rip off. I wish someone would just contact me about it. Show more

    Great music organizer-LOVE IT
    I've not used ABC notation much but understand how it works. This app let's you import whole tunebooks that are available on the web either in total or individually. After you have tunes downloaded & properly in the app, you can sort by title, key, time signature or abc notes. You can then set up tunebooks within the app, say you're making a set list or want all of your waltzes in one place, like a database you'll see them sorted into these tunebooks while not changing the total list of tunes. I have both versions of this app for itouch and iPad and they work slightly differently. So far the itouch/iPhone app is a little easier to figure out, possibly because I've used it more. Looking for a way to add a single new tune in the iPad version & haven't found it. Wish the web developer site had a click here to contact. Great Tool for musicians at any level! Show more
