Your setlist, in sync with your entire team, sheet and clicks unified. Leadsheet turns your iPad into a clean, distraction-free music stand. Build a setlist from your PDF sheet music, chord charts, or lyrics, set the tempo for each song, and swipe from one to the next. No paper, no fumbling for the next chart mid-song. PLAY TOGETHER, LED BY ONE When your team goes live, everyone follows the leader. The music director taps "Go Live," and as they turn pages, every device turns with them — the whole band lands on the same song at the same moment. Each player's metronome locks to the leader's tempo and downbeat, so the beat dots pulse in time across every screen. Keep your own click silent or audible — your choice. BUILT FOR THE STAGE • Setlists of PDF sheet music, chord charts, or lyrics • Per-song metronome with tempo and time signature • Auto re-tempo — the beat follows you from song to song • Big, swipe-to-turn pages that stay readable under stage lights • Mute your own click without breaking the band's sync SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM • Create a team and invite players with a simple join code • Team-owned setlists everyone can open • A roster showing each member's instrument or role • Per-song lead vocal and notes, so everyone knows the plan WORKS WHERE YOU PLAY Once you've opened a setlist online, it's cached on your device — so a weak signal at the back of the stage won't leave you staring at a blank screen. Your music is there when you need it. Whether it's a Sunday service, a rehearsal, or a gig, Leadsheet keeps your whole team on the same page — literally.
