Calypso Score: Sheet Music

iPad / Musique

Calypso Score is a feature-rich digital sheet music app for the iPad that lets musicians manage their scores in a way that was never possible with paper. With the app’s pre-built indexes for dozens of popular jazz and pop fakebooks, you’ll never struggle with finding the right chart at a rehearsal or jam session. Calypso Score also provides unique features for navigating through multi-page scores and powerful, easy-to-use tools for organizing and annotating your entire digital library.

Compare these features with other apps to see how Calypso Score changes for the game for digital sheet music:


ORGANIZE YOUR DIGITAL SHEET MUSIC FILES

• Import sheet music PDFs directly from any app that supports file sharing, including common cloud services
• Create optimized sheet music PDFs from your paper notes with the integrated scanner
• Extract only the pages you need from a long file (e.g., just your part from a multi-part score) and assign critical metadata with an intuitive import wizard
• Annotate your songs with text, music symbols, guitar tabs, highlights, and drawings, all optimized for Apple Pencil; no additional purchase required
• Optimize the layout of your songs with a powerful built-in PDF editor; no additional purchase required
• Create your own custom songbooks or gig books for organizing your repertoire; a song can appear in more than one songbook, so you no longer need clumsy workarounds like bookmarks and layers to maintain different annotations and settings for different playing situations
• Easily share your library, including your fakebooks, songbooks, set lists, and individual songs; optionally include annotations, metadata and synchronized recordings with the PDF
• Backup files and metadata to iPad folders or any cloud service


THE transposable NEW BOB BOOK

The New Bob Book is a freely available fake book created by guitarist Bob Roetker. It allows you to transpose any of its 666 songs into any key - melody and chords, in excellent readable quality! You can download it for free.



FIND SONGS QUICKLY

• Get started with pre-built indexes for over 90 commercially published jazz and pop fakebooks*. +100 Aebersolds*
• Search and sort by page #, song title, composer, lyricist, genre, creation date, or user-assigned labels
• Search all fakebooks at once or limit your search to a single book
• Organize selected songs into set lists for quick and easy access at a gig


FREE YOUR HANDS AND EVEN YOUR FEET

• Turn pages automatically without swipes or pedals
• Minimize scrolling and scanning for repeats and jumps with optimized layouts for each turn of a page
• Manually turn pages with a Bluetooth pedal


PRACTICE MORE PRODUCTIVELY

• Attach any number of recorded music tracks to your sheet music for play-along during practice; audio files are linked to the index entry for a song, so only one copy of the track is needed even if the song appears in multiple books
• Synchronize playback of an attached audio file to follow automated page turns or start at a specific bar
• Adjust the pitch and playback speed of audio files - even if synchronized to the score
• Record your practice session; recordings are automatically synced to the score
• Avoid inefficient app-switching with built-in tools including a metronome, keyboard, and tuner


GET STARTED!

Calypso Score offers a familiar look and feel that follows best practices for iPad user experience and integration with iPad services and other apps. Detailed video tutorials (in-app and on our website) and an extensive help system will further help you get started quickly with productive management of your digital sheet music library.


*PLEASE NOTE

Calypso Score only provides the indexes for commercially published fakebooks; it does not provide the books themselves. However, Calypso Score makes it super easy to import any PDF and match it to one of the pre-built indexes.
