Lyre helps band directors manage sheet music, share it with members, and keep the ensemble together during rehearsals and performances. Built for marching bands, pep bands, concert bands, and other school music programs, Lyre gives directors a simple way to organize their music library and make the right music available to the right people. Upload your ensemble’s sheet music, organize it by group or performance, and give members access from their own devices. No more digging through email attachments, shared drives, or last-minute PDF links before rehearsal. With Live Sessions and the accompanying Cue Band app, directors can run a live rehearsal or performance session and keep members synced to the current song. Move through a set list, cue the next piece, and help everyone stay on the same page in real time. Lyre also supports annotations, so directors and members can mark up music directly in the app. Add notes, highlight important spots, and keep markings with the music where they belong. Features include: • Sheet music library management • Member access and music distribution • Live rehearsal and performance sync • Cue Band Live Sessions • Set lists and performance flow • PDF music viewing • Music annotations • Organization-based access Lyre is designed for directors who need something more organized than a folder of PDFs, but simpler than a full drill or ensemble management platform. Bring your own sheet music, build your library, and keep your group ready for the next rehearsal, game, concert, or performance.
