HOW IT WORKS
Three steps from ABC to a playable score.
Start with your own ABC notation or search The Session by tune title and choose the setting you want.
Bring in the ABC
Paste ABC notation, or search The Session by title and choose the ABC setting you want to use.
Choose an instrument
Select GDAE tenor banjo, mandolin, guitar, tin whistle, or another supported notation view.
Show the TAB
Select “Show TAB” to generate the score, then play the ABC melody while you practise.
REAL APP SCREENS
A clear path from tune search to practice.
The English interface keeps ABC input, instrument choice, score output, and Pro options in one practical workflow.
PRACTICE WORKFLOW
Built around the way session players learn.
Find the setting, turn it into an instrument-specific view, listen back, and keep practising from the same ABC source.
Notation for traditional instruments
Create GDAE tenor-banjo and mandolin TAB, guitar TAB in multiple tunings, tin-whistle fingering, and fiddle notation.
The Session search
Search public ABC by tune title and choose between multiple settings when a tune has more than one.
Listen and check
Play the melody from the ABC field. A recording or audio file can also return possible tune matches.
Audio matching presents candidates for clear, single-note performances of Irish traditional tunes. Confirm the tune and ABC setting before using the result.
