iCloud and your files
Your songs are files in your own iCloud Drive. Apple syncs them; there's no Leganote server and no account.
Leganote keeps your library in a folder called Leganote in your own iCloud Drive. Each song is a .leganote file there; imported PDFs are kept the same way, with your marks. Apple syncs the folder between your devices, so the same library shows up on your iPhone, your iPad and the Mac app. There's no Leganote account, because there's no Leganote server.
You can see the folder yourself in the Files app (Browse ▸ iCloud Drive ▸ Leganote) or in Finder, and back it up like any other folder. If you delete the app, the files stay where they are.
If you're not signed in to iCloud, or iCloud Drive is off, Leganote keeps the library on the device instead and carries on as normal. Those songs stay on that one device, so back it up with iCloud Backup or your computer. On the Mac, the status bar at the bottom of the window says which one you're on: iCloud Library or Local Library.
My library doesn't appear on my other device.
Check that both devices are signed in to the same Apple Account and that iCloud Drive is on for Leganote, in the Settings app under your name ▸ iCloud. New songs can take a minute to arrive, depending on your network. Quitting and reopening Leganote makes it look through the folder again.
I don't want my songs in iCloud.
Turn iCloud off for Leganote in the Settings app, and it keeps its library on the device from then on. The songs already in your iCloud Drive stay there. Without iCloud, songs only live on the device that made them.
