## What is MusicBook Pro?

MusicBook Pro is a private Apple-native songwriting, songbook, setlist and live performance app for singer-songwriters, solo performers, guitarists and small bands.

WRITE AND ORGANIZE
Capture text, audio and video Ideas before they disappear. Develop related Ideas in Projects, move them into editable Drafts or Songs, and keep lyrics, chords, sections, keys, capo, tuning, tempo, notes and versions together.

PERFORM YOUR WAY
Build ordered setlists with Songs and timed or untimed breaks. Open Performance with large readable lyrics and chords, or use the full Setlist View to keep the complete running order visible with the current song highlighted. Switch views from Live Settings whenever the stage situation changes.

STAGE-SAFE TOOLS
Use deliberate next-song safety, Performance Lock, Panic recovery, SmartScroll, set timers, break timers, pedal reminders, optional MIDI cues, external display and iPhone Remote controls. Sessions save rehearsal or concert timing without recording the performance.

SMART, REVIEWABLE HELP
SmartFunctions can assist with layout, rhymes, writing feedback, chord inspiration, setlist order and rehearsal focus. Transcribe turns recordings of your own ideas into editable Draft Lyrics with Apple speech technology. Suggestions remain review-first and under your control.

YOUR APPLE WORKFLOW
Work across iPhone, iPad and Mac, capture quick Ideas from Apple Watch and widgets, and use the free Apple TV companion for read-only big-screen lyrics and Performance. Optional private iCloud sync keeps supported library data across your own devices.

FREE EXPERIENCE
Every feature is included in the free version. Save up to 6 Songs, 2 Drafts, 2 Ideas, 2 Projects and 2 Setlists; Sessions are unlimited. Full Version removes those library limits with one purchase.

No subscriptions. No ads. No third-party tracking. No automatic lyric or chord downloads. MusicBook Pro is for original songs and cover material you have the right to use.
