Getting Started

PreviousWhat is SongBook+NextSettings

Last updated 8 months ago

1. Settings

If you want to adjust the settings of SongBook+, you can find more information here: Settings.

2. Insert Data

When you download and install SongBook+ from the AppStore, it does not contain any data.

You need to insert your own files with song lyrics or sheet music into SongBook+, preferably in the form of PDF files. Additionally, you can also insert audio files, MIDI files, and videos for use in SongBook+.

If you prefer to try out SongBook+ without your own data first, you will also find a link to download demo data in the freshly installed SongBook+. More information about this can be found here: .

There are different ways to insert your files into SongBook+. More information about this can be found here: Inserting Files into SongBook+.

Alternatively, you can use SongBook+ to photograph your paper texts or sheet music with the built-in camera of your iPad or iPhone. More information about this can be found here: Scanning Song Lyrics on Paper with Built-in Camera.

3. Create Songs

The inserted files will appear at the very top of the list in SongBook+ in a section called "Unused Files".

Create songs from these files. The files will then disappear from the "Unused Files" section once they are used by a song.

More information about this can be found here: Insert Unused Files into the Song List.

PDF files in the "Unused Files" section can already be opened and displayed, but for more functions, you need to create songs from them.

4. Edit Songs

If you want to change the created songs later, you can do so at any time.

More information about this can be found here: Editing Song Details.

5. Use Songs

Once you have created the songs, you can simply tap on them in the list to open them.

The song list can be sorted in any way, and using the search field, you can find any song even in a very long list with hundreds of songs in no time.

More information about this can be found here: Using the Song List.

6. Working with Playlists

If you don't want to use the complete list with all songs but instead want to create smaller lists with specific songs, you can find more information here: Playlists.

7. Unlock Full Version

If you want to use SongBook+ with more than 15 songs, you can unlock the full version.

More information about this can be found here: Full Version and In-App Purchases.

8. Back Up Data

Although this is not one of the first steps, it is important that you know and remember it.

Regularly back up your data after major changes so that the time you have invested in SongBook+ is not suddenly lost due to a defective or lost device, a mishap, or a software error.

More information about this can be found here: Backing Up and Restoring Your Data.
