Lyrics and Setlists on the iPad
I’m an Apple fan (always have been). When the iPad was announced, there was no question…I had to have one! Ever since that day, I’ve been looking for an easy way to use it to display lyrics and setlists. Today I found it… the Setlist app by IndianCode. This is a great app for musicians. No more carrying a notebook full of lyrics, and a clip-on light so you can see. Did I mention that is is a FREE app?
You start by hitting the “Manage” button and adding your song library. Each song can have lyrics added to it and a length.
Then, add a setlist and order your songs. You can have lots of different setlists.
By hitting the “Perform” button, your setlist is displayed.
Clicking a song title displays the lyrics. and you can swipe your finger across the screen to display the next songs lyrics. You can even resize the text so that all lyrics show up on a single screen.
Now if I could just find an easy way to mount my iPad to a stand instead of setting it on a music stand!
Jeff, you could contact Dream Theater’s keyboard player(Jordan Rudess) on twitter or on his website I am sure he uses I pads live and he develops apps for them such as Morpg wiz and other things.

Just wondering if you’ve solved your mounting problem.
Cheers- Jeff

Jeff, I am still setting the iPad on a music stand, but I see that the mount I really want to use is now available:
