Tunebook for iPad 3.2.14

Tunebook for iPad is now identical to the Tunebook application. It is advisable not to acquire both versions in order to avoid redundancy. The presence of both applications on the App Store is due to the inability to establish a seamless upgrade process for transitioning users to a single app without potential double charging.

Tunebook serves as a music viewer tailored for the ABC format, a simple text-based music notation system. The ABC format is commonly utilized for various musical applications and is abundant with freely accessible tunes online. For more in-depth information regarding the ABC format, refer to abc.sourceforge.net. This notation format primarily caters to traditional folk music, characterized by short tunes that easily fit onto a single page.

With Tunebook, users can effortlessly import ABC-format files from websites into its database. Subsequently, they can organize tunes, conduct searches based on title keywords, key, and time signature. Upon selecting a tune, users are presented with its musical notation and can conveniently listen to it across various instrument voices. Additionally, the application allows users to compile customized tunebooks to streamline their tune collection.

Tunebook leverages notable components including abc2ps application, FluidSynth, and the GeneralUser GS soundfont. Licensed under the GPL, this application offers transparency regarding its source code accessibility via www.jhlabs.com/tunebook.
