Hope you will find a suitable app for your iPad. The reason is that there are already so many similar apps for iPads and we don't have the resources to support both platform in a good way. Right now we have no plans to port Fakebook Pro to iOS, sorry about that. Do you have any plans to make your product available for iPad users? I've been researching sheet music readers, and it sounds like Fakebook Pro is probably the best out there. I'm a singer-songwriter and I'm just in the process of switching over from using paper charts to using an iPad. There are open formats as well, most importantly MusicXML, but Fakebook Pro does not yet support that (although that is on the to-do list). the major Mac/Windows notation and DAW applications). To do that you need to use some of the specialized music file format, which in many cases are proprietary (e.g. Other PDF files may have embedded music fonts or be in vector format, but these can still not be transposed because they contain no explicit musical information. Most music available on-line (free and for purchase) are in PDF format, often in the form of a scanned page (i.e. The quick and simple answer to your question in "no, the Fakebok Pro app doesn't transpose melody notes, only chords".īut to answer your other question (about other possible app options) and to explain why Fakebook Pro currently can't do this, this depends on the music format. Does your Fakebook Pro provide that, or do you have another offer or hint where to buy something like that? What I miss is to also see the melody, together with the chords, both in a transposable fashion (which iReal Pro provides, but it's without the melody). That being said, you can simplify and increase the precision of your edits by using a stylus suitable for your tablet, and by zooming in on the part before editing. This is due to the nature of the PDF format, but most importantly because the books you mention (as well as most other similar music collections) are actually paper scans. The only editing of PDF files possible in Fakebook Pro is "painting" on top of the image described in the file. The only way I'm able to do so on my Android tablet is with my finger (extremely difficult).

I hope they produce a better rendering of their publications, or perhaps an app within which you can purchase them, with a global search, playlist function etc.įor exporting, you can do a screenshot (if it is big view, there is no title), and I would think cropping out the margin in the smaller page mode would reduce the resolution and not be as clear in full screen on an iPad. I do not know what happens if you have purchased the Kindle version and how it functions and looks within the Kindle app (nor directly on a Kindle itself). You can read the notation clearly (it is slightly fuzzy but readable). The TOC works and you can search (obviously only within the one volume you are in). If the song is two pages, in big chart mode, you cannot swipe to the next page. There are two views of the chart, one, page size, where the margins are large reducing the size of the notation and the bigger size by tapping the chart so it fills the page but you lose the title (as it only shows the staves and if there are empty staves at the bottom, these are shown as well). I have the Real books volume 1 and 2 perhaps the newer volume scans are better? Perhaps they used OCR for the titles (there are occasional spelling mistakes in titles and composers so not all the searches would work). The iBooks versions of Hal Leonard Real books is very poor although readable.
