Lead sheet melody line

[MartinClark]

I am looking for an app like real book that has the melody ! I would like it to have the same features as real book. Key change ect and a forum for sharing tunes. Does such a thing exists ? Thanks for any help and info in advance.

Hi,

Yes this App does now exist. It's called Melody Transposer and is currently only available for iPad. It's free to download in its basic format, however there is a modest in App purchase fee for the full version which you will need to actually transpose the Real Book tunes.

I'm afraid the huge cost of developing this App has meant that upgrades and enhancements are progressing less quickly that originally planned, however we are currently working on a blog for users to exchange files and indeed we are planning to upload packages of songs and other melodies free of charge from time to time.
Best regards,

Hey Martin
I look forward to checking out your app.
I think the Old-Time and Bluegrass community* would embrace it if you filled it with popular Public Domain tunes like Cherokee Shuffle , Angeline the Baker and Soldiers Joy.

Does anyone know what happened to Melody Transposer? If it doesn't exist, why didn't it work out? Are there any other apps that do the same thing?

I can't figure out why an app like this isn't readily available by now. This would be invaluable for jam groups with instruments in different keys.
