## What is INK.LYRICS?

Write the words, the melody and the riff in one place.

INK.LYRICS is a quiet notebook for songwriters. Build a song line by line, with lyrics, sheet music and guitar tabs side by side, and arrange it any way you like. Everything stays on your device: no account, no ads, no tracking.

LYRICS WITH CHORDS
• Write freely, then pick a chord and tap a word to place it right above that syllable
• Chords stay with their words as you keep editing
• Mark the structure with sections: Intro, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Bridge, Solo and Outro. Verses number themselves.

SHEET MUSIC THAT READS LIKE MUSIC
• A five-line treble staff with clef and ledger lines, from A3 up to C6
• Whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes, dotted values and rests
• Sharps, flats and naturals
• Tap the staff to place a note; tap it again to remove it

GUITAR TABS
• Six strings, frets 0 to 24, and full chord shapes on any beat
• Hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, bends, vibrato, harmonics, palm mutes and dead notes

ARRANGE WITHOUT FRICTION
• New lines appear right below the one you're on
• Duplicate a riff or a chorus, or drag lines into a new order
• Undo and redo a word at a time
• Accessible note entry for VoiceOver, and keyboard shortcuts on iPad

SHARE YOUR SONG
• Export a print-ready PDF song sheet
• Plain text with chords above the lyrics, or ASCII tab for any text editor
• MusicXML for MuseScore, Finale, Sibelius and other notation apps

A LIBRARY THAT FEELS LIKE A RECORD SHELF
• Every song gets a cover in your songbook, with its own color, writer and search
• Light and dark themes
• Available in English, Turkish and Spanish

Your songs stay yours. INK.LYRICS works fully offline and never collects your data.
