I think SongSheet is different from the other apps I looked at : Setlist maker, yamaha setlist organizer, onSong, iOpenSongs, mainly because of its editor. It's a singer, writer and player's tool, not too expensive, does its job. Play / Sing along : practice, rehearsal Structure : identify sections, verse, chorus, A, B. Lyrics : write down or copy/paste them from another app (mail, web, doc, pdf) I tried the one named "SongSheet", it works fine for me, so I decided to share here. When the chords are in place, add rehearsal/form marks.I was looking for an app to write my song sheets straight on the iPad. Take advantage of copy/paste when the music repeats the chords.

Just as in real ensembles, backing tracks don't wait for stumbling musicians. Like a metronome, the automated tracks insist on a steady beat but the styles are much more inspiring for playing along. Keep in mind, however, that the unedited tracks found there can be made by anyone and so do not necessarily contain accurate chords for a given tune. Many more tunes in a variety of genres can be downloaded from a forum that is accessible from inside the app. The files are easily shared with students or bandmates in an iRealPro format (playable only in the app) or converted to mp3 or MIDI formats.
