What program do you suggest for using the iPad2 as my music reader. I know I'm far behind on this and thanks for your patience

Unrealbook

hi Bernie,
what steps are involved in getting a piece of music into pdf form and into the ipad?

Hi Gary,

if you use a pc :

Google for "PDF24 printer", download and install it.
After completion you´ll find a new "printer" installed (PDF24 PDF).
From ANY program you use ( like word, excel, corel etc. ) you can now easyly print your documents as a pdf-file.
I case you´ve only got a sheet of paper of your music-file you´ve to scan it first with any scanning-software and then print it as described above.
I don´t have an i-pad, but I think it should be able to display "pdf-files", maybe you´ve got to download the "adobe-pdf-reader" or a similar software for your i-pad

Thanks Snoopy,

gary

Ditto, thanks Snoopy.

With UnRealBook, you have an option to use Ipad's camera to take picture of your music sheets and convert it to PDF directly to UnRealBook. I found this feature very handy.

After you have lyrics or lead sheets in a folder, you connect the ipad to the PC, chose Share, open UnrealBook, hit ADD, click on the PDF you want, and repeat until all have been added. When you are done, disconnect, go to ALL FILES and push up to add the new files to the iPad.

Once you have your library, make playlists, annotate, adjust width, etc.
