StageScore.net

The singer changed the key? Your chart already did.

StageScore is sheet music built for the bandstand. Pick a key and your instrument, and the whole chart is re-engraved on the spot: notes, chord symbols, key signature, accidentals. No new file, no transposing in your head, no signal needed.

ANY KEY, ANY INSTRUMENT
• Transpose a whole chart to any key in one tap.
• Read the part for Bb, Eb or F instruments (trumpet, clarinet, tenor, soprano, alto and bari sax, horn), or in concert pitch.
• Clean engraving, including a handwritten jazz look.

THE VIEW EACH PLAYER NEEDS
• Score for horns and melody players.
• Chords for the rhythm section: a bar grid big enough to read in stage light.
• Lyrics for the singer: big, readable verses, one section lit at a time, plus a teleprompter.

A BAND IN YOUR POCKET
• Bass, drums, keys and guitar play the changes in your key, at your tempo.
• Swing, bossa, ballad, funk, rock, soul and more. Pick the feel, the kit and the instruments.
• The bar being played can light up, so you never lose your place.

MARK IT UP
• Pen, highlighter, shapes, text and dynamics stamps. With Apple Pencil, just start writing.
• Marks are anchored to the bars, so they stay put when you transpose or switch parts.
• Notes per song or per gig: the intro, who solos, how it ends.

BRING EVERY CHART YOU OWN
• Import MusicXML (.musicxml, .mxl, .xml) from your notation software, PDFs and chord chart files, from Files or any cloud drive.
• PDFs stay exactly as printed, and you can mark them up too.
• Start a new score from scratch in the built-in notation editor, or write a chord chart bar by bar.

READ THE PAGE (BETA)
• Turn a PDF lead sheet into a chart you can transpose: notes, rhythm, key and chords, read by StageScore's page reader (free account and internet connection needed).
• The printed line sits above what was read, and every doubtful bar is flagged for a second look.

FIX IT WHERE YOU READ IT
• Open any chart in the notes editor and drop notes, rests, accidentals, ties and triplets straight onto the music.
• Change the key, the meter, barlines and repeats, or the chord symbols.
• Hear any line back before you save.

BAND BOOKS AND SETLISTS
• Build setlists in running order, one tap to the next tune.
• Share them in a Band Book: the band joins with a six-digit PIN.
• Change the set and it updates for everyone, each player in their own key and view.
• Download the book and it works offline on the gig.

ON THE STAND
• Chromatic tuner that reads in your instrument's key, with a movable reference pitch.
• Metronome that takes the tempo off the chart.
• Turn pages with a tap or a Bluetooth page-turner pedal.
• Dark, red night-vision and high-contrast themes for any room.

YOUR LIBRARY, SAFE
• Your library lives on your device and works offline. No account needed to play.
• With a free account: cloud backup, restore on your other devices, Band Books, and a community catalog of public-domain and chords-only charts.
• Export any chart or setlist as a PDF, or back up your whole library to one file.
