Visiblement pas maintenu à jour

Tres bonne idée, complémentaire de tunepal, pour trier facilement ses morceaux et même le regrouper en set. Malheureusement le play-back ne fonctionne pas donc imposs d’écouter les morceau (iphone 13 mini / iOS 17.6.1).
La dernière mise à jour de l’app date d’il y a 5 ans. Ce qui explique peut être l’obsolescence du développement

C’est étonnant qu’elle soit toujours sur l’AppStore si elle n’est pas compatible avec les derniers hardware / os

Best Option Available

Everyone in my fiddle group uses this and encourages newcomers to get it. It’s extremely handy and easy to edit (with some practice). I really wish I could create new songs from scratch. That would make it so much easier to add and share tunes with each other. Also not sure why I can’t just add a file that’s on my iPad (unless I’m missing something)

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.

Excellent and intuitive!

A great way to jot down a melody, listen to it, then save it as a MIDI file or PDF score, and print it too! The ability to use ABC notation is very convenient and intuitive. I’m not sure whether it’s just my phone but sometimes it doesn’t successfully save my edits, so I’m careful to copy my work as a text file before exiting the app.

Tunebook Glitches

I like this app but I find that I can only listen with my headphones in. It sometimes plays and sometimes not.
Also the alignment in settings are all out.

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.

Really great app for musicians

This app plays abc notation from a variety of solid sources. Music can be slowed down and played on a wide array of instruments. I have it on ipad(s) and iPhone for one purchase price. Brilliant value.

sehr empfehlenswert

Unterwegs Melodieideen einzugeben könnte nicht einfacher sein.
Das Druckbild der Partituren ist das beste aller abc-Programme die ich bislang getestet hab.
Perfekt würde die App durch icloud-Synchronisation.

Exactly what I was looking for, and does it perfectly

I would have given Tunebook five stars except I can’t edit the abc: the keyboard gets in the way so I can’t see what I’m editing, and I can’t move the text behind it into view. But I wasn’t looking for an abc editor, I was looking for something that would let me import, view and play abc files and this app does it perfectly.

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.

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.

Outstanding

Responsive developer amazing download of abc notation tunes just have to use a proxy site to load sites otherwise it won't load websites. Beautiful renditions of tunes, has tune books shows keys of songs and beats. Also can play songs with midi like player. Export and import songs easy. Top value and quality

Trev

Brilliant product. The transposition tool is excellent and very quick to use and there is nothing like it in the other apps available. I have around 120,000 tunes in my lists.

Tunebook Music Book

I’ve been using Tunebook for the last couple of years - It is unbeatable for putting together a tune list for a gig. Since one of the views allows me to scroll through a set - I can use if for a full hour show.

Die beste ABC-App

Tunebook ist meiner Meinung nach im Moment die beste ABC-App.
Sogar mehrstimmige Partituren werden korrekt dargestellt und abgespielt.
Der Autor reagiert sehr schnell auf Fehlerhinweise.

5 Sterne gibt es für vollständige Dropbox-Unterstützung.

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?

Better and better

Tunebook now looks even better and has the really useful transpose feature as the icing on the cake. I know that there's a lot of music written out in the wrong key for my instrument (whistle) and I've been cutting and pasting online to try improving some tunes. Now I can see immediately if I've fixed the issues. Support this App because the developer (Jerry) listens to user suggestions and makes changes.

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.

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.

Indispensable For Musicians

Let me start by saying this app is not perfect: the visual interface and usability could be improved a bit, but I'm still happy to give it five stars for the simple fact that it is the far-and-away best app in its category. If you can even find another app that imports ABC music from free sites on the web, you're doing better than I. But this app also allows you to play the tune, loop it and slow it down, crucial for learning a new piece. Then it lets you email a PDF version to your band mates so they can get learning it too. All these features make this an indispensable tool for learning to play traditional music.
