I have a new jazz gig with a female vocalist who sings in keys other than the standard Real Book Key.
So, instead of using Real Book charts with melodies, I was forced to transpose the charts (chords only) in FakebookPro.
But, in additional to having a lot of wrong chords, I needed to annotate other comments (intros/outros/etc). FaekbookPro does not seem to allow typing (and the pen feature does not work well for me).
Luckily I was able to "share" the transposed Fakebook Pro charts into Mobilesheets. So I was able to annotate using MS and was able to put together a collection including both the transposed FakebookPro charts and the few songs the singer sings in the keys I have (already in Mobilesheets).
So, I am grateful for this feature of Mobilesheet (and Fakebook Pro).
Obviously, I would prefer to have good real book charts that allow for transposing the melody as well as chords (I understand the issue is copyrights).
Are we any closer to having all real book charts available so they are easily transposed, including melody lines? In know some people are using ChordPro files, so any information is welcome.
