App comparisons & alternatives

Lead sheets for the bandstand

Jazz gigs have a particular shape: unpredictable set order, tunes called on the spot, and charts that are more reminder than instruction. The app has to be fast and quiet.

Called tunes, found instantly

Search by title from any screen. Setlists exist for the gigs where the order is fixed, and get out of the way when it is not.

The turn that does not break the line

Blink turning means a two-page chart does not cost you a phrase. This is the single most useful feature for horn and bass players.

Same changes across the band

Band sharing distributes an agreed arrangement so the whole group is reading the same cuts and coda.
