## What is PocketLibretto?

PocketLibretto shows libretti and songs the way singers learn them: every phrase in three lines — original text, pronunciation in IPA following the rules of lyric diction, and translation.

AT THE MUSIC STAND
• Stand view on iPad: five text sizes up to 48 pt, the largest for 1.2 m distance.
• Turn pages with a keyboard or Bluetooth pedal (arrow keys, space bar, page up/down). Settings › Test pedal shows which key arrives and lets you swap left and right.
• Stage mode: true black, dimmed text, your own brightness. Buttons and status bar fade after three seconds; a pedal press only turns the page.

THE RULE BEHIND EVERY WORD
• Tap a word for its pronunciation, translation and the diction rule behind it — in all six languages of the pieces.
• Word by word: every word with its IPA and translation beneath it.

HONESTLY LABELLED
• Public-domain texts only. Every piece names its work, librettist and year.
• The IPA is a draft until a coach has checked it — and the piece says so. No piece carries a coach's seal yet.
• Included: 104 public-domain pieces — arias, art songs and sacred music in Italian, German, French, Latin, Russian and English —, all free, plus three examples written for the app.

FOR PRACTICE AND TEACHING
• Share as PDF: A4 or Letter, three lines or word by word — for forScore, for example.
• Repertoire with “Continue” at the place where you stopped.
• Your own folders in the Repertoire — for an audition, a concert or a lesson.

PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no tracking. The app stores data only on your device and sends nothing.

In German and English, for iPad and iPhone.
