Add another iPad Air and OnSong user to the list. Works great.

iPad Pro (12") and Onsong - very easy to find tabs or words on the web and import them. I usually clean them up when I'm bored, and send the files to others if we are going to play together - In my studio I just throw the files up on a big flatscreen TV with an older AppleTV so everyone sees the same chart -
It would be nice to share updated songs with others in the band, but we work around it -

In My Case What Software?
So I've got an iMac desktop and a new iPad Pro.
I sent 400 pages of printed lead sheets to be scanned and got the PDFs back on a Flash Drive and have no clue what app to use or how to proceed. I thought UnrealBook but can't make any sense of it. I'm also totally computer illiterate. |

If they converted them into text files, you are in better luck, then you can edit them one by one on your iMac to get rid of conversion or spelling errors, and even set in some ChordPro formatting if you want, and then import those - that way you get all the advantages of using OnSong - Be happy to help, but you'd need to provide a lot more info about what you got, and what you want -

They are individual pdfs
I have about 400 separate files. I looked at several and they look fine.

Best thing to do is get a free dropbox account and on your iMac put all your pdfs in dropbox. Most iPad music apps (and others supporting pdfs) can import from dropbox. I use forScore on iPad Pro. Works great! One feature I particularly like is putting iPad in landscape you can switch between viewing 2-page scores side by side or viewing single page at a time very wide.

So thats the rub - check them one by one on your iMac, edit them as well as you are able, then email groups of them to yourself. When you open the email on the iPad, you can choose to import them all into Onsong - then, you can see how they import and decide if you want to make any changes there -
I was using my OnSong with a choral group I was part of, and they were all using paper sheets in binders. I took the pages, scanned them as PDFs, then emailed them to myself. They opened and looked just like the Xeroxed binder sheets, but I cannot transpose, or edit them in any way - which is fine. I can use the markup capabilities in OnSong to add notes, highlight sections, even import mp3s of the various parts so I can listen to them while reading the music, or play the other parts while I sing and memorize my own. But I cannot change key, colors, etc. For our band, we frequently come up with songs that we think would be fun to try, so we google for the words on an iPad, then when we have a page up, we send it to OnSong - open Onsong, and it asks if we want to import the song. We import it, add or modify chords and bracket them, adjust words, line layout, mark verse or chorus, add any memos about how we want to do it, and then we have a ChordPro file that we can transpose, or work with in any number of ways that are useful for us - but useless to the choral group. Its pretty easy to get started in the ChordPro format - its just simple text with some bracketed characters thrown in to handle formatting - I hate to say it, but it reminds me of Wordstar on my old Osborne - if there is a song you'd like that I have, PM me and I'll see if I can email a copy to you to play with -

I may be just me, but that K&M tablet holder was a ***** to assemble. It took me like an hour to figure out portait setting.
Went with SongSheet Pro @ $15. It appears to be doing what I need. Not happy, maybe unlearned, about importing files. |

Caddie Buddy: Sturdy, Easy Rotate Tablet Mount
This is the best I've found of the few I've tried for my big iPad Pro. Mounts on a camera tripod or mike stand. Gooseneck mount easily pivots between portrait and landscape modes.

There's also an extension arm available, so you can 'side-mount' it to the same stand that you have your mic mounted on - I have one of those too.
