When are we going to get a sheet music program in the App Store?

I think I know what you mean - an easy to use application that produces a nice printed copy for the individual musicians in a band, showing chord symbols, lyrics maybe, a bit of notation for some people when necessary, guitar tab even, for when you're first getting into it, instead of scribbling on a piece of paper. Its not crazy but I haven't come across anything like that that I can think of...

I still use Encore for quick lead sheets and small scores. Originally a program from one of the early MIDI soft/hardware companies, Passport... it's now distributed by GVox. Not a big fan of automatic layout, Encore is just like picking up a pen and writing music, you have to know what you want.

$400.. Yikes?

I've been a long time beta tester and hadn't kept up with the retail price. I purchased the full version when I first started using it back in the Passport days, I think it was $299 back then.

I see the cheapest thing they have is "MusicTime Deluxe" (Encore Lite) which is $120, oh well, I should've checked the price first.

There's also the free:

But I don't know if itt's Lion compatible.

Actually, I've just had a go at that and the Musescore works pretty well - it is easy to use - a 10 or 15 minute job to look at the possibilities is all it takes to be able to produce something - there's a template for a lead sheet under the Style menu option that I can see using that as a starting point and adapting it from there; its a pity I didn't have this a few years ago, when I was working with other musicians a lot more, but, of course that's another story. I imagine it may well come in useful at a particular time in the future.

Looks good Bob, got a wedding gig? 😉

Hi

Perhaps I am missing the point of this thread but Logic is absolutely fine for all of this.

Yeah, I know, its just a good thing to use a dedicated program for a particular task sometimes - it can become a part of your 'workflow', its probably an individual experience though..

Hi Bob, hey man, you sound great, nice touch, those are double tenors, right?

My handle refers to stereo panning left, center, right....etc.

Coincidently I play nylon string guitar in two separate pan groups and am well versed in the repertoire. :-)

The standard trio format here is Pan (either lead or double tenors), amplified nylon string guitar and electric bass, plus everyone plays some kind of foot percussion.

Re: Canon, yep, only the hook is required.

Hi

Ok here's a chart for you.... repeat signs as per your original posted earlier. You may not like my hasty choice of fonts etc, but...
