Love this app!

I have used the Nashville number system for years and I am not sure how I missed this app. So glad I found it! 5 Stars!!

No 2 Columns Per Page?

I have 3 or 4 other numbers chart apps, and they have the option for 2 or more columns on the page. The shows I’m used to playing use a variety of chart layouts, and the overwhelming majority of them have more than 1 column per page if needed. It would be nice to have that option in the NNS app!

Fast way to chart lots of tunes fast!

I was called to do a cover band gig on bass recently where I had to learn *a lot* of songs fast and Nashville Numbers was perfect for this task. I used it to chart blues, rock, country, and kept all of the songs to one page. Sending NNS charts to forScore for organization and more detailed editing is quick and easy. Thanks, Chas and Leland!

Good for NNS charts

The developer contacted me and let me know about their plans to improve the app (like adding landscape view). Looking forward to future updates.

Layout Options

Liking the app so far, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to split a page into 2 columns so I can fit more on one page?
