abc Music Studio

abc Music Studio brings sheet-music PDFs, scans, recordings, videos and abc tunes into one library for practice, rehearsals and performances. It reads folders you already keep on your device or in iCloud Drive without moving, copying or uploading the files. Search, Finder tags, Favorites and nested collections help organize music into lessons, band libraries and ordered setlists.

Recordings and videos can be linked to a PDF or tune so they open together. For practice, you can save passage loops, slow playback without changing pitch, and change the key of audio or video to suit your instrument.

The app also edits abc, a plain-text music notation format. As you type, the score updates alongside an editor with syntax highlighting, suggestions and warnings. You can enter notes by selecting their length and tapping pitches, hear tunes on built-in instruments, transpose individual tunes or whole tunebooks, and print or export PDFs.

For working with other music software, abc Music Studio supports step-time entry from a MIDI keyboard and conversion of MusicXML, MIDI and iReal Pro files into abc notation. Export options include SVG, MIDI, MusicXML, WAV and M4A, with batch conversion for folders.

abc Music Studio is available for Mac and iPad, with library syncing through iCloud Drive. The Mac app requires macOS 26.4 or later.
