Re: iPhone apps for U.P.'s ?
I learned of TunePal and Tunebook from this thread and ended up getting both of them, and, yes, they are awesome as others have said.
I started putting all the tunes I know into Tunebook using the search function but then I got annoyed that it was so laborious so I started using TunePal to fine a transcription I like from playing the tune on my whistle, copying the ABC notation, and pasting it into Tunebook. At first Tunebook wouldn't take TunePal's ABC notation, but after a bit of fooling around I discovered that the Add New Tune function of Tunebook will reject any transcription where the index is not 1. If I change the first line in the transcription from X:[any number] to X:1 then the transcription is imported without any difficulty. Still a bit clunky moving between apps, but takes much less time than entering a tune title, searching, and picking a transcription using the internal function in Tunebook. Maybe eventually iPhone multitasking will make this more seamless.
