Sheets in the Wind – OnSong Pro Review

Here in Texas, our climate allows musicians to play numerous outdoor gigs year round. Many of us play with different bands and guest musicians. OnSong was introduced to me by a fellow musician after he heard me drop out of the mix and saw my feeble attempt to capture wind blown charts instead of playing guitar. He walked me through some basic steps, now it is my mainstay charting and sharing formate. Both church and secular engagements have become a breeze! No longer typing out charts and making copies for guest musicians, no longer wind blown lost charts or unseen charts on poorly lit stages. OnSong is now my mainstay charting method. It is a breeze to transfer from online scores, chord and lyrics into OnSong. You can easily transfer your scores with 3 key strokes to fellow musicians. Editing is a breeze, and OnSong will remember your desired font size and formate. If you play an instrument, I highly recommend the Bluetooth AirTurn foot peddle for section and page turning. I also recommend a Bluetooth keyboard for fast editing. Once you get it down you can create and edit your set list, as well as place your different tunes in categories. You can instantly send your chart over to other musicians on stage as long as they have OnSong. This keeps all your songs in a orderly library which can be backed up via cloud or your preferred storage sight. I now have every member of our group on OnSong. This makes rehearsal efficient and editing of the fly a breeze for all. The tutorial will make it easy to learn. OnSong is a working musicians best tool since the electronic tuner! On the down side, The Bluetooth AirTurn floor peddles can occasionally loose it Bluetooth connection on startup . Keep your troubleshooting guide on hand. You will, at times, have to repeat the reconnect process. Once connected, I never had a disconnect during a gig, just occasionally on startup.
