Calypso Score

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.
