Isn't that Captitalism in a microcosm? Workers get paid small amounts to do work that benefits the owners of the company. They all seem to think we practice our craft so they can make money from it, not us. Toss in ASCAP and BMI and you have a free-for-all claiming payments.which mostly only gets to the original composer, and sometimes arranger, in pitiful amounts. The music business and copyrights are a really messed area. Distribution electronically or on paper of transcriptions is another gray area. Sound tracks on recordings can be copyrighted, but there is no copyright that prevents transcription. The publishing company of the original tune will have granted rights to the paper publisher to use the tune, and distribute arrangements. Check with Harry Fox Agency or US Copyright laws, You'll see.Īlso arrangements can only be copyrighted for resale, paper or electric.

That said, I am a little surprised they haven't added the ability to copy a pdf and associate it with a track.įYI: you can't copyright cord changes. somewhere) the Hal Leonard books on something like the Kindle store and have one screen up or swap screens if you want the melody.

A tablet version would be nice but on both Android and iOS, you can have background apps or side-by-side applications depending on your screen size. I don't know how useful it would even be to have it on a phone screen anyway. The reason that the application doesn't have melodies is that it is purely a chord chart application exclusively. Adobe would be out of business immediately! Collect Jazz, Brazilian and Pop standards and jam with the breakthrough backing tracks.

Or even more pertinent, if you had to charge copyright if your application could view copywritten materials. The best practice app for pros and music students. That application likewise includes nothing 'out of the box' (if you'll excuse the pun), but there are ample community generated files that have melodies and chord changes to most of the realbooks.

Band-in-a-box has a similar product but it includes the ability to perform melodies. The reason for that is the publication companies sent a cease and desist because they had titles of their songs built into the app.Now, the changes themselves have to be downloaded from a community maintained list as pointed out by others here.

Don’t post charts as an image file, attachment or link to drive, Dropbox etc. Only post charts directly from your app in iRp format so they can be downloaded from the forums into the app and opened in the iRp editor. You can use the sandbox for testing and temporary personal list sharing.įor help with a chart, POST your problem chart (in the song forums) along with your question, that makes it easier for members to help. To experiment with existing songs, select Edit>Duplicate, that way the original chart in your library will remain unchanged. Answers you receive from members there will help others as well.Īs updates to the app have included more features, the learning curve has increased. If you can't find an answer after searching keyword(s) in the Forum, just post your question in one of the support forums. In OSX look under: Help/Tutorials and Help/Help & Support.īefore you post, review the "sticky" threads here: Or just touch the "?" in the circle at the top of any chart and explore what's there.
