Nota ABC: A Comprehensive Tool for Managing Your ABC Tunes Collection

Nota ABC is an innovative application designed to facilitate the management and exploration of your ABC music collection. It offers a range of features, including a zoomable score, a sophisticated audio player, and extensive customization options.

A Rich Archive of Traditional Tunes

The app boasts an impressive archive of over 40,000 tunes, allowing users to easily search and incorporate melodies into their repertoire. If you are familiar with the name of a tune, it is highly likely that you will find it within Nota ABC's extensive collection, which includes various settings and keys. Notably, the archive is accessible offline.

Edit Your Tunes

Nota ABC allows for comprehensive editing capabilities. Users can modify the ABC notation of each tune and adjust it to suit their specific requirements. Additionally, there is an option to create original tunes from scratch by customizing each ABC note and field.

Score and ABC Previews for Quick Reference

The tunes list features a convenient preview option—users can select between a score format for those familiar with traditional musical notation or an ABC format as preferred. The app displays the first few bars of each tune for quick identification without needing to delve into the detailed view.

Audio Preview

In addition to visual previews, Nota ABC includes audio playback directly from the tunes list, catering to those with a more aural-focused memory.

A Full-Featured Audio Player

The integrated audio player enables users to play tunes at their desired speed by adjusting BPM settings. Furthermore, users can choose from a selection of traditional instruments for audio playback.

Enhanced Learning with Dates and Levels

Each tune added to the collection is associated with a "learning date" that can be modified, allowing users to organize their music by months of practice. This feature enhances browsing efficiency and aids in tracking progress by assigning proficiency levels to individual tunes.

Group Tunes into Books

For streamlined access, users have the option to group their tunes into themed books.

Transform Your Tune List into a Comprehensive Repertoire

Nota ABC also permits users to import tunes from simple text lists, automatically generating their corresponding ABC notation. This functionality transforms basic text lists into comprehensive repertoires inclusive of melodies, keys, and annotations. Additionally, users may import ABC tune books or select individual tunes, as well as utilize CSV file import capabilities for easy migration from applications like Excel or Numbers.

Automatic Syncing

The app utilizes iCloud for seamless data backup and synchronization across devices. Users can work interchangeably on iPhones or iPads with edits updated in near real time.

Your Data Remains Yours

While Nota ABC provides an efficient way to manage your collection, it ensures that users retain ownership of their data. A range of accessible export options allows data extraction from Nota ABC without restrictions. Each tune edit generates a local backup that can be exported at any time. Should you choose to discontinue using Nota ABC, you can easily download your backup as a zipped file containing a complete tune book along with simple and detailed exports of individual tunes.

Customize Nota ABC

The application allows for user interface personalization through adjustments in playback settings along with selections from various fonts and color schemes. Users have the flexibility to hide features that may not be relevant to their needs.
