How it works

It doesn't guess the song.
It follows you through it.

Your chart already says what happens: the chords, how many bars, the form, the tempo. LiveTrack only has to answer one question — where in the chart are we right now? Like a finger following a line of text while someone reads aloud.

01

Open the chart, count in.

Tap the ONE on the first bar (or step on your foot pedal). That single tap anchors the engine — from here on it counts with you.

02

Play. It listens.

A beat clock keeps the count from drifting; a harmonic ear checks the chord it hears against the chord it expects. Tempo is learned from you, not from the number on the page.

03

The chart moves.

The current bar lights up, the page scrolls ahead of you, and repeats, voltas, D.S. and coda are played — the highlight lands on the copy that's actually sounding.

The human hand always wins. A wrong page turn on stage is worse than no page turn, so LiveTrack advances only when it's sure — and when it isn't, it waits instead of guessing. Tap any bar, any time, and it snaps to you. Nothing ever fights the player.

What's in the box

Everything a chart needs
on a stand

One document per song — bars, chords, form, lyrics, tempo, key. Every view is a projection of it. Fix a chord once and it's fixed everywhere.

𝄐

LiveTrack — the chart that listens

Microphone in, position out. Highlights the current bar, scrolls ahead, takes the repeat and the jump to the coda. Handles a deliberate ritardando (mark it rit. and the engine relaxes instead of fighting), and re-locks on the next ONE. Confidence shown live: green, amber, red.

Five views, one chart

Staff, chord chips, drummer's bar map, lyrics, and a split lyrics-and-chords screen. Pick per device, not per instrument.

𝄋

Speaks musician

Repeats with ×N, first and second endings, D.C. / D.S. / Coda / Fine, slash chords, beat splits like C:3 D:1, N.C., and meter changes mid-song. Not drawn on the page — played.

Apple Pencil, like paper

Fingerings, “come in hard here”, a circled bar — ink lives on the chart and stays yours. Write a chord above a bar and it becomes a typed chord, recognised on-device.

Bring your charts with you

Photograph a printed or handwritten chart, drop in an engraved PDF or an iReal export — it comes out as a clean, followable LiveSheet chart.

Transpose, capo, tempo

Change key and every view follows — sharps or flats spelled the way a player expects. Capo per song; BPM you can tap in.

Setlists that flow

Build the night, reorder with a drag, and step through it song by song. Key and tempo shown before you count in.

Foot pedal, no setup

Any Bluetooth page-turner pedal works out of the box: step to move, step to anchor, double-tap to nudge bar by bar.

Offline, always

Charts live on your iPad. The venue Wi-Fi drops? Nothing changes on your stand. Screen stays awake for the whole set.

Tune to the room

One button listens for eight seconds at gig volume and calibrates the ear to this room — no sliders. Tempo-lock for click-track sets.

Print & PDF export

A proper engraved page — staff, key signature, chord symbols — for the players who still like paper on the stand.

Five views · one chart

Same song.
Your way of reading it.

A guitarist who knows the tune by heart can switch to lyrics and sing harmonies. A bass player flips the staff to bass clef. The drummer wants bars, not chords. Each view is a projection of the same document — nothing to keep in sync.

1Staff

A real five-line staff with clef, key signature and chord symbols. Treble, bass, alto or percussion clef — your choice per device. Rhythm notation appears only where the bar needs it.

The fastest read on a dark stage: one chip per bar, grouped in fours, wrapping to your screen. Big type that survives a 25-point zoom. The default for most players.

3Drummer

Pure structure: every bar a cube, counted and grouped, with meter changes and the marks a drummer cares about — hi-hat, ride, crash, fill, build-up, break on the “and of four”. No chords in the way.

INTRO · GTR RIFF
VERSE 1
Down by the station where the evening slows
The midnight train is calling and everybody knows
You pack your heart in paper, tie it up with string
And wait for someone else to sing
CHORUS
Take me home, take me home tonight…

4Lyrics & 5 · Lyrics + Chords

Big, readable words in playing order — verse 2 and verse 3 each get their own. A singer who plays gets a split screen: chords one side, lyrics the other, with a divider you drag.

Speaks musician

Write it the way
you'd say it at rehearsal

A bar is a chord. Sometimes it's two chords with a split. Sometimes it's “same as the last one”. Sections are defined once and the play order lists them — the chorus that comes back three times exists once, with its own lyrics each time. Repeats, endings and jumps aren't decoration: LiveTrack plays the whole road map.

A whole song in six lines. The highlight lands on the copy that's actually sounding — second time through the chorus, it's the second ending.

Who it's for

For the Friday-night pro.
For the Tuesday-night hobbyist.

Built by a working musician who was tired of tapping pedals mid-solo — and tested in cover-band sets, wedding gigs and living-room jams.

Working musiciansSixty songs a night.
Zero page turns.

  • Hands stay on the instrument. No pedal choreography, no reaching for the screen between a fill and the downbeat.
  • The form is followed, not just displayed. Third chorus, second ending, D.S. al coda — the highlight is on the bar that's sounding.
  • Sub charts in minutes. Photograph the bandleader's handwritten sheet in the green room; it's a followable chart before soundcheck.
  • Transposition that reads right. Singer wants it down a step? One tap; sharps and flats spelled the way the key wants.
  • Nothing depends on the venue. Charts live on the iPad; the ear is calibrated to the room; the screen never sleeps mid-set.

Home & hobby playersPlay the whole song.
Not just the first page.

  • Learn songs the way they're built. Sections, repeats and endings are visible structure, not a wall of chord names.
  • Keep up without stopping. The chart moves at your tempo — slower tonight, faster next week — and waits when you fumble.
  • Scribble like it's paper. Fingerings, reminders, a circled tricky bar — Apple Pencil ink stays on the song.
  • Your songbook, tidy at last. Photos, PDFs and iReal charts become one clean library with setlists for the jam.
  • Capo and key in one tap. Find the shape you can actually play, and the chart re-spells itself.

Bring what you have

Your binder,
followable by Friday

Nobody wants to retype two hundred songs. Point the camera at a printed chart or a handwritten one, drop in an engraved PDF, or bring an iReal library — LiveSheet reads the bars, the chords, the repeats and the section names, and hands you a chart you can check with a glance and play tonight.

Anything it wasn't sure about is marked, not hidden — you confirm, it remembers.

Apple Pencil

Write on it
like it's paper

The staff is left deliberately empty so there's room for you. Fingerings, “watch the drummer”, a circled bar, an arrow to the coda — ink stays on the song and moves with it when you transpose. Write a chord name above a bar and LiveSheet recognises it on the device, no internet, and turns it into a real chord.

Questions

Fair questions,
straight answers

Does it work in a loud room with a full band?

That's the room it was built in. LiveTrack doesn't try to transcribe what it hears — it tracks a beat and checks the harmony against what the chart already says is coming. Calibrate once to the room at gig volume and it locks in. When it's unsure, it holds instead of guessing; a tap on any bar realigns it instantly.

What if we play the song differently tonight?

Tempo is learned from you, not from the number on the chart. A ritardando you mark as rit. is expected, not fought. If you skip a section, tap where you are — the human hand always wins, and it never fights you.

Do I need a click track or a metronome?

No. LiveTrack follows the band, not a click. If you do play to a click, tempo-lock pins the engine to the chart's BPM within a couple of percent.

Can I bring my existing charts?

Yes — photos of printed or handwritten charts, engraved PDF lead sheets, iReal Pro exports and ChordPro files all import. Anything the reader wasn't sure about is flagged for a quick check.

Does it need an internet connection on stage?

No. Charts live on your iPad and LiveTrack runs entirely on the device. Wi-Fi is only for syncing your library between devices.

What about the rest of the band?

Version 1 is a single-musician app: one iPad, one stand, one chart that follows you. Sharing charts and following each other across the stage is where we're going next.

Which devices?

iPad first — that's what lives on a music stand. Apple Pencil is supported for ink and handwritten chords; Bluetooth page-turner pedals work with no setup.
