Leganote

I wanted a lead sheet I could practise with, that I'd pay for once, with files that stay mine. So your songs sit in a Leganote folder in your own iCloud Drive, because there's no Leganote server. I genuinely don't have one.

I mocked up four looks for the chart. A plain modern grid had no score feel at all. A full Real Book page, cream paper and marker chords, looked like the apps I was trying to get away from. So the shell stayed modern and only the chart turned handwritten: chords in Caveat, section names in Permanent Marker, cream paper in light mode and ink in dark.

Search knows what a chord symbol is. The search index has its own tokenizer that is case-sensitive and keeps # inside a word, so Bbm7 is never confused with Bbmaj7, and C#m7 is one chord, not a C and an m7.

And the player follows the road map, not just the bars. It takes the repeats, plays the 1st ending on the way round and the 2nd on the last pass, and jumps for D.S. and D.C. al Coda. Tempo Ramp counts the loops as they come round and steps the BPM up, so you can walk a stuck passage up to speed.
