Recommended. One key for the whole band — set once by the leader, used by everyone. It runs on the band's own Anthropic account, pay-as-you-use: with the Haiku model each question costs a fraction of a cent, and the help knowledge base is updated constantly. Once you know your way around It's Showtime you won't need it — and there are no other ongoing costs.
⚠ This is an API key (starts sk-ant-) — NOT a Claude Pro / Max subscription. A claude.ai chat subscription will not work here; they're separate products.

Import Songs

Bring songs into your library from another app or a chart you already have. Pick a source:

🎵 No MusicXML file yet? Create one free in MuseScore — write your notation, export as MusicXML (.musicxml or .mxl), then use the Sheet Music tile above.

Works with charts from

These all paste into the box above — they're just familiar starting points. (MusicXML now has its own tile above; PDF import to come.)

⚖ Only import charts you have the right to use. It's Showtime stores your own copy for your band — it doesn't fetch or share third-party charts.

🎼 Import Chord Chart

Paste a chart you already have — ChordPro ([C] inline) or plain chords-over-lyrics. It becomes a new song in your library, ready to transpose.

🗻 Backup & Restore

Roll back to an earlier library — e.g. to undo a huge import that slowed things down. A restore replaces this device's songs, charts, setlists, config & billing (the current state is backed up first). Media files aren't included.

⚠ After a bad import, don't run a normal Cloud Sync first — this device looks “newer”, so it would push the bloat up to the cloud. Use Pull cloud library, or restore a local backup below.

📥 Import iReal Pro Charts

In iReal Pro, share a song (or playlist) as the iReal Pro format, email it to yourself, then choose that exported file here.

Reads iReal Pro's own export — not a plain chord chart. (Got a plain chart? Use Paste a chart instead.) It’s Showtime never fetches or scrapes from the web — you bring your own exported file.

reads the export & previews the songs
How to export from iReal Pro:
  1. Open iReal Pro
  2. Select a song (or make a backup for a whole set)
  3. Choose the HTML export format
  4. Share it via email (or any way that gets the file onto this device)
  5. Press Choose exported iReal Pro file above and start the import
