So I just took the plunge into the iPad world mainly to display my charts. What apps do you iPad users recommend to display lead sheets?

Thanks!

UnRealBook Pro - Hands down the best!

Don't forget to get a BlueTooth pedal to turn the pages.
==> http://www.pageflip.com/Home_Page.html It's a must!

This setup has revolutionized the way I play music!

Also I have several songs that I wrote lead sheets by hand. Is there a way to scan them and put them on the iPad?

Thanks Al. I'll look into those.

I don't agree - I had Unreal Books and found another App that works better - GoodReader.

I converted thousands of leadsheet into PDF format and use Itunes to transfer them from my Macbook to my Ipad.

MusicReader allows easy annotation and creation of playlists.

So which page turner is better?

Pageflip:

http://www.pageflip.com/Home_Page.html

Or AirTurn?

http://airturninc989.corecommerce.com/Bl...-Board-p82.html

Is the AirTurn one unit or three seperate units that can slide around?

Is this the X holder that is being used for the ipad or are there other X holders?

BTW, I just contacted them to find out if they have or will have a model that will fit the other tablets that are flooding the market.

Hi Scott, MusicReader 4 uses PDFs. I use the AirTurn page turner. Occasionally I have to restart MR on the iPad at the beginning of a gig to get it to work, but otherwise it works flawlessly. I use the xClip which is a fair bit cheaper, on a 13" gooseneck to bring the iPad closer to me.

First thing I thought of was... is the click going to be audible? (Not good!) The Airturn promote is that it is silent. I don't know about the Pageflip. Anyone got one? It costs less.
