Reviews: What People Think About Nashville Numbers

What a useful app. Aside from the occasional bug this app is incredibly useful for professional musicians. It allows for very quick charting with good arrangement detail. There are a few minor updates that will make this app outstanding: 1) The app needs to support landscape mode, at least on on iPad. 2) When copying sections, it would be great if it copied annotations too. 3) Annotations get easily wonky if any edits are made above them, ie adding a diamond pushes the chart down but not the annotations. Ideally the annotations should stay aligned with the row they are written on. 4) I would absolutely love the ability to add text. For Repeats I often type things like “x4” but this is not ideal because the numbers used in this way will still turn to chords in ABC mode. I prefer this over annotations because of the issues in #3 above. 5) A better way of showing time signature changes would be really useful. Annotations is also tough here due to #3 above. 6) Thr clear/delete functions are slightly confusing. This is manageable now but there could be some UX adjustments here to make it a bit more intuitive. 7) Allowing a tap to enter tempo would be amazing. This currently requires a second app. These are somewhat picky suggestions. The app overall is really useful, and these enhancements would solve most of the gaps I’ve encountered when using this for gig situations.

This is a great app for making and modifying Nashville numbers charts. I believe it was created by Chas Williams who also wrote a great book about NNS. I’ve been looking for something that I could use for making session charts in my studio. This app seems to be able to handle many variations of chart notation, including adding your own markup and annotations. But the only thing I wish it had were more instructions. There’s a simple explainer for how to use the app but not enough explanation for the Nashville Number System or how to interpret the symbols. For example, it would be great if the instructions demonstrated less common chords and how to write them or interpret them. How do you create an augmented cord? How do you create a diminished cord? How do you create a bar with less than four beats or more than four beats? How to do you a push beat chord? Etc. Basically what does each symbol mean. If there are instructions anywhere I couldn’t find them and searching the Internet was no help. Thanks so much! Lij

I have spoke with the developers a few times and they have truly created something wonderful. Is it buggy? Yes. Are they always taking feedback to improve? Yes. I submitted a suggestion yesterday and it is already in the cue for an update. I do wish we had updates more frequently, but this is created by developers who are not full time developers and this is a side project from their main careers. However, this reason is another for why this app will blow you away. I use it and then transfer the PDF to ForScore to store and annotate and it’s a wonderful combination! Couldn’t recommend it more!

About Nashville Numbers

Music notation is made simple with this shorthand system which puts chords into numbers 1 though 7 and streamlines the page into a simple and clean format. Forget about pencil, erasers and photocopy! This app combines technology with tried and tested methods; allowing users to create song charts with the ease and speed of pen and paper.

For over 60 years, the Nashville Number System has been the standard for musicians in live performance, recording sessions, and teaching environments. The published book has become required reading in many of the most prestigious music schools, including Belmont, ETSU, Lee and Liberty University, while also being required reading for anyone when they get their first gig in music city.

This innovative app brings the must-read instructional book by Chas Williams, with well over 50,000 copies sold, into our digital age by seamlessly allowing charts to be written on your digital device!
