SheetMuse vs StageLyrics

Turn your iPad and iPhone into your digital music stand. With SheetMuse you carry every score with you: annotated, arranged into setlists, ready for the stage. Built by Pro Music Software for people who play live, study at the conservatory, or practise at home. ANNOTATE LIKE ON PAPER Fingerings, dynamics, breath marks, reminders: write straight onto the score with pen, highlighter, text and eraser. With Apple Pencil on iPad it feels like a pencil on paper. Every mark is saved with the file, page by page, and you find it exactly where you left it. MORE THAN PDF Import scores and tabs as PDF, lyrics and chord sheets as images (PNG/JPG) or plain text, and the backing tracks that go with them. One library for all your material, with instant search by name and tag. SETLISTS FOR THE STAGE Group your pieces into setlists for concerts, rehearsals or lessons. In fullscreen you move from one piece to the next without leaving, without searching, without missing the downbeat. On iPad in landscape you can read two pages side by side. TURN PAGES WITH YOUR FOOT SheetMuse recognises Bluetooth page-turner pedals on its own: no drivers, no setup, no mode to declare. Pair the pedal from the iOS Bluetooth settings and turn the page, or jump to the next piece, without taking your hands off the instrument. AUTOMATIC SCROLLING For lyrics you can start automatic scrolling, at an adjustable speed or synced to the audio, karaoke style. Your hands stay on the instrument. BUILT-IN METRONOME Set the BPM with the score open, without leaving the app. EXPORT WHEN YOU NEED TO Save or share the score with your annotations, as a PDF or as one image per page: handy for passing parts to the band or handouts to a class. YOUR FILES, KEPT SAFE Scores, annotations and setlists sync automatically to the cloud: switch device and everything is where you left it. A built-in trash brings back what you deleted by mistake, and you can export a full backup whenever you want. MADE FOR PLAYERS Pianists, guitarists, singers, bass players, drummers, strings and winds, choir directors, teachers preparing material for a class. On stage every night, in the rehearsal room with the band, or at home for the love of it: a clean interface, no distractions, readable even in low light. NO SUBSCRIPTION The app is free and supported by non-intrusive ads. A single purchase removes the ads for good: no subscription, no renewal, no expiry date. NOTES SheetMuse does not provide sheet music: you import your own files, within the rights you hold over them. A free account is required to use the app. Your account can stay signed in on a maximum of 2 devices at a time. Requires iOS or iPadOS 15.0 or later. Leave the binders at home. Download SheetMuse and travel light.

Stage Lyrics puts big, clear lyrics and chords on stage - no paper, no clutter, no missed cues. Build songs section by section (verse, chorus, bridge) and drag them into set lists for every gig. Already have charts? Import lyrics straight from PDF, Word, or text files - Stage Lyrics automatically finds your verses and choruses so you're not retyping your whole catalog. Drag chord bubbles onto any word, set your key, and transpose on the fly - every chord follows, whether you play guitar or keys. Prefer numbers? Switch to Nashville notation anytime. Performance mode fills the entire screen with auto-sizing text that's always as big as it can be without cutting off a word, in portrait or landscape. Reach the last slide of a song and the next one loads automatically, so the show never stops. Set a timer to auto-advance on its own, or tap through at your own pace. Go fully hands-free by pairing any AirTurn Bluetooth foot pedal - scroll your lyrics without touching your phone. Spacebar and arrow keys work too for wired setups. A full metronome is always one tap away from the performance screen - set your BPM, time signature, and click sound without ever leaving the app. Stage Lyrics is free to start, with 5 songs and 2 set lists included. Go Pro to unlock unlimited songs and set lists, PDF/Word/text import, ALL CAPS display, and practice tools that record your rehearsal timing and auto-advance slides to match your pace on stage.
