Apps for all three Portland Collections are available for iPads. These apps include clearly readable notation for all the tunes in the hard-copy books and contain all of the supplemental information found in the books. They also have search and organizational capacities that are not possible in the hard-copy books. We thank Transported Productions for developing these apps.
App Features
- Quickly display any tune in The Portland Collection tune books through the Search mechanism (search can be by tune title, book page number, key signature and/or meter).
- Learn more about each tune through the Information feature, which displays the Note on the Tune while the tune itself is visible.
- Create portfolios of tunes (Events) specific to your separate music occasions. These events can be shared via AirDrop, email, and file-sharing apps. Add your own tune files to the apps through the iTunes sharing feature.
- Combine the tunes in the three Portland Collection (and other) apps and organize the separate tunes into medleys via the TuneLibrarian app.
- Read detailed instructions, which are also available in a downloadable pdf format.
