Folders everywhere
Band folders, thumb drives, Google Drive links, and group chat attachments—none of them stay in sync.
Digital sheet music built for real bands.
Cue Band gives musicians a free way to perform from their device, while Cue Band Live and Lyre Library help directors sync rehearsals, manage music, and distribute parts without the paper chaos.

The problem
Rehearsal time shouldn't be spent on file logistics
Most ensembles already have digital music. The hard part is keeping everyone on the right chart, the right version, and the right part.
Wrong versions at rehearsal
Someone printed last year's chart. Someone else has a cropped PDF. Rehearsal time disappears into sorting it out.
Missing parts
The third trumpet part never made it to the new section member. Now you're photocopying five minutes before warm-up.
Directors become file couriers
Instead of teaching music, you're re-sending files, answering “which one?” messages, and chasing down updates.
Cue Band Free
Your music, organized and ready to play
Cue Band Free gives musicians a practical way to carry sheet music, build set lists, and perform from a phone or tablet. Import PDFs you already have rights to use, organize songs into playlists, and focus on playing—not digging through folders.

Perform from your device
View sheet music on phone or tablet during practice, gigs, or sectionals.
Built to be useful on its own
No artificial limits designed to push you into a paid plan. Cue Band Free is a real tool for working musicians.

Join organization sessions when your ensemble adopts Cue Band Live—your app is already set up.
For directors
Cue Band Live
Keep the whole ensemble on the same page
Cue Band Live lets directors run live sessions so every musician follows the same song and page during rehearsal or performance. Less time lost to page confusion, wrong versions, and “wait, which chart are we on?”
Director view
Live Session
- Connected: 24 musicians
- Song: Marching Cadence
- Page 3 of 8
Director-led sessions
You control which song and page the group sees. Musicians follow along on their own devices.
Works for rehearsal and performance
Use live sync during sectionals, full rehearsals, or on the field and stage.
Shared organization libraries
Members access music your organization has distributed—no re-sending files before every rehearsal.
Pairs with Cue Band Free
Musicians use the free app. Directors add Live for the organization.
For schools & ensembles
Lyre Library
Sheet music management built for band directors
Lyre Library is where directors upload music, organize libraries by ensemble, assign parts, and distribute updates to members. Replace the folder sprawl, email chains, and “which PDF is current?” confusion with one system your whole group can trust.
Parts assigned
Fall Concert Library
- Trumpet 1
- Trumpet 2
- Clarinet
- Percussion
Upload once, distribute to members
Add sheet music to your organization library and share the right parts with the right players.
Assign parts clearly
Trumpet 2 sees Trumpet 2. No more wrong-part downloads or mystery attachments.
Publish updates
When a chart changes, push an update so members aren't rehearsing an old version.
Organize by ensemble and library
Structure music the way your program runs—concert band, marching band, pep band, and more.
Use cases
Built for the ensembles you actually run
From Friday night pep band to fall marching season to community concert cycles.
Marching band
Keep drill blocks and music changes aligned. Directors sync the chart everyone should be on during outdoor rehearsal.
Pep band
Quick turnarounds on game-day sets. Push updated charts before tip-off without a group-text avalanche.
Concert band
Organize full scores and parts by concert cycle. Section leaders rehearse from the same edition.
School ensembles
Give students a clear, consistent way to access parts your program is authorized to distribute.
Community bands
Volunteer musicians join with the free app; directors manage libraries without enterprise overhead.
Worship & live groups
Set lists and charts stay organized for weekly services and rotating musicians.
Plans
Start free. Add director tools when you need them.
Musicians never pay to perform. Organizations choose Live or Lyre Library based on ensemble size and management needs.
