Scores and charts
- PDF score library — import, organise, read and annotate PDF sheet music.
- Chord charts — create and edit charts natively, with sections, repeats, time-signature changes and navigation signs (D.S., al Coda, double bars, final bar).
- Blank pages, canvas and manuscript paper — create empty A4 pages, free-drawing canvases and blank stave paper inside the app.
- Scan & photo import — scan paper sheet music with the camera or import photos; they become PDF scores.
- Chart import — bring in
.html, MusicXML and MIDI files as editable chord charts; import.4sssetlists.
Keys and transposition
- Transposition & key control — transpose with one tap, keep an “Original key” reference, lock keys, and hold different keys for the same song in different setlists.

Annotation
- Annotation tools — pen ink (Apple Pencil, stylus or finger), eraser, text and musical notation directly on scores.
- Mini staves — draw a resizable five-line stave anywhere on a PDF or chart and place melody notes from the on-screen piano keyboard.
- Notation rows in charts — insert real notation staves between chord rows, with clef, keyboard-placed notes and hand-drawn markings.
- Text Mode — type text blocks directly onto pages, with adjustable font size.
Setlists and live use
- Setlists — build, reorder and search setlists; per-song keys; duplicate songs or entire setlists; navigate song-to-song while performing.
- Practice tools — metronome with tap tempo, per-song BPM, audio recording and playback, and playback from your local music library.
Files and sharing
- Sharing & cross-platform — share single songs (
.scordial) or whole setlists (.scoreset) via AirDrop, Messages, Mail or Files, with everything intact across iOS and Android. - PDF export — export any score, chart or page selection as a standard PDF with annotations baked in.
- Lighten PDF — flatten heavy, slow PDFs into fast, lightweight versions.
- Organisation — collections, categories, tags, stars, search and an A–Z index.
