No starting over

Bring your whole library

Changing sheet music apps does not mean leaving years of music behind.

Bring your songs and setlists from forScore, or import PDFs, MusicXML, iReal Pro and the other formats below. Your songs find a new home, and your setlists keep their order.

A handful of charts or a thousand: bring the music you already know and get straight back to playing.

  • forScore setlists
  • iReal Pro
  • OnSong and ChordPro
  • MusicXML
  • Engraved PDF

Engraved means a PDF exported from notation software. A scanned page still opens, as a regular PDF.

More than a page

A chart you can actually change

A PDF is a static picture of music. LiveSheet turns it back into music you can work with.

Transpose an entire chart in a tap. Fix a chord, rewrite a melody, add a repeat or change an ending. Edit notes, rests and musical markings right in the score, or start a new chart from scratch. Your music does not have to stay exactly as it was written.

THE SAME CHART IN LIVESHEET

Transpose

Pick a key. Every chord and every note moves with it, spelled the way a player expects.

Editing a bar in LiveSheet: the chord keyboard under the chart, and Section, Bar, New line, Barlines, Structure and Delete beside the bar.

Edit

Fix a chord, add a bar, change the ending. The keyboard has what charts are made of: repeats, endings, D.S., Coda, Fine, fermatas, key and time changes.

Editing a single note with the notation palette: pitch, length, dot, accidentals, articulations, trill, glissando, slide and bend.

Write real notation

Notes and rests, ties, triplets, accidentals, dynamics, even bends and hammer-ons. For lead sheets and band charts it can do the job of your notation program.

And when a conversion needs a second look, the original PDF is right there beside it to help you get it right.

Made for musicians

Built for the way you play

Every musician needs something different from a chart. Read the full notation, follow the song's form in Bars view, or switch to Lyrics and Hybrid views when the words matter most.

From the practice room to the stage, your music stays organized, at hand and ready.

Bars view: each bar is a box grouped by section, the current bar lit, a beat counter showing 4, and a break marked on bar 10.

Bars view

Every bar is a box, the one you are on is lit, and the big number counts the beat. Just the form and the marks a drummer needs: fills, breaks, fermatas, time changes.

Hybrid view of Sowing the Seeds of Love: chord names sit on top of each line of the lyrics, and the chord being played is lit green.

Lyrics and Hybrid

In Hybrid view the chords sit right on top of the words they belong to, and the one being played lights up. Lyrics view gives you the words alone, in big type.

Apple Pencil

A circled bar, an arrow, an underline. Mark your cues the way you would on paper.

Setlists

Build the night's setlist, drag songs into order, and move from one song to the next as the show goes on.

Pedals just work

Bluetooth pedals and page turners need no setup. Step, and the page turns.

The Trainer

A practice partner that knows the chart. It lights the bar you are on and counts the beat, so you can practise in a new key, ramp the tempo, or loop the bars you have to nail.

Meet the futureNow in Beta

The chart that follows you

You probably did not think a chart could do this. LiveTrack listens to your band, hears the beat and the harmony, and follows you through the chart bar by bar. Repeats, endings and codas included.

So talk to the audience. Watch the singer. Close your eyes for the solo. When you look back, the bar you are on is lit.

It is a new way to work with sheet music, and we are still making it better. Complex arrangements, tempo changes and noisy stages can challenge it. When it loses its place, a tap on the right bar gets it going again.

LiveTrack is open to everyone during the Beta. Try it with your music, find out what works, and help us shape what comes next.

The transport

One strip runs LiveTrack

The transport sits at the bottom of every chart, like the one in your recording software. It is how you start LiveTrack, see what it is doing, and stop it.

Questions

Short answers

Getting started

What is LiveSheet?

A sheet music reader, editor and library for iPad and iPhone. It reads ordinary PDFs, and turns engraved ones into live charts you can edit, transpose and organize.

It also has LiveTrack, now in Beta, which follows the music as you play.

Can I bring my whole library from forScore?

Yes. Share single songs or whole setlists from forScore. Setlists arrive as setlists, with the songs in the same order, so there is nothing to rebuild by hand.

Which formats can I import?

PDF, MusicXML, iReal Pro, OnSong and ChordPro, and setlists from forScore. Some formats carry the music itself and open as live charts right away. A PDF is read and converted when it can be, and otherwise stays a regular PDF.

Does every PDF become an editable chart?

Not every one. Engraved PDFs, the ones exported from notation software such as Sibelius, Finale, Dorico or MuseScore, convert best. A scanned page has no notation inside it to read, so it opens as a regular PDF.

Either way it belongs in your library, and you can read it, mark it and put it in a setlist.

What if LiveSheet reads something wrong?

You fix it in place. Anything LiveSheet was unsure about is marked, and you can compare the chart with the original PDF bar by bar. Correct chords, notes or structure with the same tools you use everywhere in the app. The final chart is yours.

Working with your music

Can I write my own charts?

Of course. Start with an empty chart and write chords, melody, structure and notation right in LiveSheet. Or take an imported chart and make it your own: change the key, correct the harmony, rework the arrangement.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. The library on your device, its charts and setlists, and every editing tool work with no connection. Sync, in Pro, needs a connection to pass changes between your devices.

LiveTrack Beta

What is LiveTrack?

LiveTrack listens while you play and works out where you are in the chart. It follows the beat and checks the harmony against your chart, lights the bar you are on, and moves the chart along with the band.

Why is LiveTrack in Beta?

Because real music is complicated. Instruments, tempos, arrangements, rooms and playing styles all differ, and we are working through them.

LiveTrack already shows what a chart that follows you can do, but it is not yet right in every situation. On stage, keep your usual way of turning pages within reach.

While it is in Beta, LiveTrack shares a little data with us about how each session went, such as the tempo it heard and where it lost its place, so we can make it better. Only numbers, never audio.

Do we need to play to a click? What if it loses its place?

No click needed. LiveTrack follows the tempo you actually play. If it drifts or loses its place, tap the bar you are on and it carries on from there.

Who can use LiveTrack?

Everyone, while it is in Beta. We want musicians to try it with real music and help us improve it. How LiveTrack is offered may change when the Beta ends.

Plans, devices and your music

What does Player include?

The complete reading and editing experience, on your device. Import as many songs and setlists as you like, convert engraved PDFs, write charts, transpose, mark them with Apple Pencil, practise with the Trainer, and print or export any song. No subscription is needed to build and use your library.

Why choose Pro?

Pro is for musicians who want their music connected. It adds cloud backup, sync across your devices, LiveSheet in a web browser, and every export: setlists and whole libraries as PDF, MusicXML and ChordPro. Pro is $3.99 a month, or $29.99 a year.

Can I export or back up my music without Pro?

Yes. Print any song, or export it as a PDF or a LiveSheet file. Setlists and your whole library export as LiveSheet files, ready to restore.

Pro adds the other formats: setlists and the whole library as PDF, MusicXML and ChordPro, and MusicXML or ChordPro for any single song.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

You simply go back to Player. Each of your iPads and iPhones keeps its own copy of your library, exactly as it was at that moment, and you go on reading, editing and transposing it there. From then on the copies are no longer kept in sync, so a change on one device stays on that device. Web access and the extra export formats end with the subscription.

Which devices?

iPad and iPhone first. Pro adds Mac and PC through the web app. A native Android app comes next, and until then Pro users can run LiveSheet in Chrome on Android.

Made by musicians. For musicians.

Meet the people behind LiveSheet

We're two longtime musicians, friends, and collaborators who've spent years on stage, in recording studios, and building technology together. LiveSheet brings those worlds together, combining our experience as working musicians with a shared passion for making technology feel natural, useful, and genuinely musical.

Amit Jurgenson

Co-Founder

Amit is a rare combination of accomplished musician and experienced technology professional. A guitarist and bassist who has performed with Danny Robas for more than 30 years, he also brings over two decades of experience in software products, mobile technology, and user experience. His creative background extends into photography, filmmaking, and visual storytelling.

As the technical force behind LiveSheet, Amit turns musical ideas into working technology, from the dynamic score editor to the audio analysis that powers LiveTrack. His perspective combines a deep understanding of how software works with firsthand knowledge of what musicians actually need on stage.

Ori Weinstock

Co-Founder

Ori is a pianist, keyboardist, musical director, and producer with nearly three decades of experience in the Israeli music industry. He's performed and recorded with artists including Danny Robas, Gali Atari, Yardena Arazi, and Shuli Rand, played in musical theater productions, and was an original member of the band HaDorbanim. He's also a co-creator of Yeled Pa'am, an acclaimed original music project for children.

After countless rehearsals, recordings, and performances, Ori knows how much musicians depend on their charts, and how often the tools get in the way. At LiveSheet, he drives the musical vision, product design, and user experience, with one guiding principle: the technology should adapt to the musician, not the other way around.

Two musicians. One idea. A better way to play.
