Location: Chicago area | This is my first post but have been reading the forum for a while, even bought a couple Ovations from members.
This was probably asked before but would appreciate any good ideas. I have hundreds of songs / tabs on paper sheets and want to scan them into my computer. I will have no problem scanning them but I'm not sure what to use (software, program) to organize them on my computer so that I can catalog them and make it easy to find. I assume some of you have done this and might have some good ideas.
Thanks for any help you can give me. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Other may have other idea's but I subscribe to Ultimate Tab's on my phone and tablet. That way I have access to whatever TAB I need when I need it. I know there are other solutions so after you respond I may move this into the general section so others can answer as well. |

Location: Seattle | My issue was being able to find the crazy amount of guitar lesson material generated over time
On the Mac using Bento Database is working for me.
http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/
Each file has a name, artist, source, date, Pdf of the Tab, and Audio file reference example, (or Youtube video converted to MP4 if available.)
All searchable, viewable and sync'ed on my laptop & Ipad.
I also think the free "Growly Notes" could be used to do the same thing but does not have a Ipad component http://growlybird.com/GrowlyBird/Notes.html.
For the PC using MS “One Note” would also could work as it is pretty robust.
If you already have MS Office One Note is already installed on most versions. |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Might be a little off topic, but iPads have a good lyric/chord/tab app(s). Look at OnSong. I use it instead of paper cheat sheets.
The really groovy thing about it is, if you've got a really long song, you can set it up to scroll through at a preset tempo.
Another app that I initially preferred is called Chordpro Songbook. Similar features and in some ways easier to use. |
