Real/Fake Book App that can changes keys and be printable??

[HeavyJazz]

The year is 2025... You'd think there'd be an app that could do this in the attached format, yes? And with a billion song database too... Something that can change the key as needed, adjust the melody notation, preserve the lyrics, and adjust key sign notations.

Anybody know of one or have a favorite? The attached format is is what I'm chasing... So easy to work off this format I find.

Irealbook does a decent job. And honestly a subscription to ultimate guitar.

Looks like the OP is asking for standard notation in addition to the chord changes.

I use iRealPro. It shows the changes, can be transposed, and can be printed via screen capture. it does NOT show the heads. IIRC, there are Copyright issues with showing the heads.

I've leveraged IRealPro, FakebookPro, Tabs, and ChordU, and each have their strength. But when you play with a site reader, and he wants to be able to read the melody despite us messing with keys all the time (because the BL can't make up his mind), having notation, lyrics, and chord symbols in place would be a dream.

If you find something like that let me know.

Actually you might like on song. I’m not sure how flexible it is for notation but it does handle notation.

Try Calypso Score and download the Bob Book if you are looking for jazz standards. I am not sure whether that will let you print, but it will do transpositions.

Nice, @RhinoBass. I like the look of that. It's an Apple-only app I presume. I play in both worlds... Will check it out.

iRealPro does that to an extent.
iGigBook has something of what you want -- it's limited to the bob book but there are charts in there that you can transpose.
Prints too.

This one will probably have what you want but it’s a pay/song format. Not economical at all.

IGigBook has (with add’l payment) 666 standards that are transposable. As I do not have my iPad with me, I do not remember the specific add-on, but that was reasonably priced when I bought it.

If Calypso Score interest you, have a look at forScore.

It's the Book Transpose Feature, and more information about it is here: Book Transpose Feature

The issue isn't whether you can "show" the heads, you cannot distribute copyrighted material without the appropriate licensing.

This is the very reason I created iGigBook, whether it's the changes or standard notation, you need a tool that lets you get access to all of that in seconds.

I use Ireal & standard notation charts. I keep the standard notation regardless of key next to my iPad. I’m typically looking at the notation for any rhythmic patterns that my lines need to emphasize specially on the heads of tunes.
