Your first chart
Open a song, press play, loop the hard part and slow it down. Then bring your own charts in.
Leganote is a songbook you can practise with. The first time you open it, two short welcome pages say what it does and how to bring your songs; Get Started takes you to the library, which already holds public-domain starter songs.
Here is the short path from there to playing along:
Open a song. Tap Amazing Grace, When the Saints Go Marching In or Maple Leaf Rag. The song page shows its key, tempo and the chart, with
PlayandEditunderneath.Press
Play. The player opens on the chart. Tap the play button and drums, bass, piano and guitar come in at the song's tempo. The bar that's playing lights up in flame.Loop the hard part. Tap the loop button to loop the whole song. Press and hold it and choose
Customize range…to loop just a few bars.Slow it down. Tap the BPM chip under the transport and take it down 10 or 5 at a time, or drag the slider.
Bring your own. Back in the library, tap
+to import a ChordPro file or a PDF, or start aNew Song. In the free version the three free starter songs already fill the library, so delete one first, or unlock Pro.

Your songs are saved in a Leganote folder in your own iCloud Drive, so they show up on your other iPhone, iPad and Mac too. There's no account to make. More in iCloud and your files.
