About this app

Optimized for tablets (7-inch or larger) · Stylus pen support (S Pen)

Band Session Note is a sheet music app made by a working saxophonist for band players. Write charts by hand, tap a rhythm and watch it become notation, view any chart in your instrument's key, and turn pages on stage with a tap or a Bluetooth foot pedal.

WRITE CHARTS FAST
• Notes, rests, accidentals, barlines, beams, triplets and chord symbols on a staff, TAB or grand staff
• Stylus handwriting with pressure and tremor smoothing, text, rehearsal marks, your own section names
• Multi-page scores, copy and paste, undo

RHYTHM TAP
• Tap the screen with the metronome and the rhythm is written as notes and rests. Hold for long notes, up to 2 bars, count-in of 2, 4 or 8, undo and continue

HEAR YOUR CHART (NEW IN 1.13)
• Press Play: notes light up as they sound and pages turn. Chord symbols are comped with an electric piano pad and bass. Four tones. Start from any bar
• Open a MIDI file and it becomes a score

VIEW IN YOUR KEY
• 11 transposing instruments - B-flat trumpet and tenor sax, E-flat alto and baritone, F horn, A clarinet and more. Key signature, notes and chord names change; the original never does

PHOTO AND PDF CHARTS
• Import photos or PDFs, cut out and move parts, erase, flatten back into one image, write over it with pen, symbols and a staff pen

PERFORMANCE MODE
• Fullscreen, full- or half-page turns, side tap, swipe or Bluetooth foot pedal (keyboard type), dark background, screen lock
• Countdown for rest bars, bar following with the metronome, setlists and cue sheets

ALSO INSIDE
• Metronome with speed trainer, tuner, 4 free sticker packs (51 stickers), export as PNG, JPG or PDF

• Kids Music Play Pack - note-name stickers
• String Pack - TAB, playing techniques, chord charts

NOTE
• Designed for tablets. It installs on phones too, but the staff looks small on a small screen
