# MusicLib
> Sheet music library management software for musicians, choirs, orchestras, bands, churches, schools, and music organizations.
## Overview
MusicLib catalogs both digital and physical scores, tracks checkouts and reservations, builds performance-ready setlists, and provides shared multi-user library access with role-based permissions. It is purpose-built for sheet music, not adapted from generic inventory or file management software.
## Key Features
- Unlimited score storage (Pro plan)
- OCR text extraction: search inside PDF scores by lyrics, markings, or annotations
- Checkout and reservation tracking with due dates and overdue flagging
- Physical copy tracking with checkout, returns, due dates, and overdue flagging
- Drag-and-drop setlist building with performance notes
- Nested collections for flexible score organization
- Part scores for instrumental ensembles
- Role-based institutional access (up to 200 members; custom plans for more)
- Native app for iOS (iPad and iPhone)
- forScore import (.4sb) and export (.4ss)
- CSV import for migrating from spreadsheets
- White-label branding for organizations (custom logo and colors)
- Full library backup and export (.musiclib format)
- Public collections for sharing
## Pricing (effective April 2026)
- Free: Up to 50 scores, 500 MB storage, collections, setlists, full search, forScore import/export, sandbox institution (3 members, 25 scores)
- Pro: $9.99/month or $99/year. Unlimited scores, 50 GB storage, full institution (200 members, 3,000 scores), OCR text extraction, backup/export. Includes 30-day free trial.
- Organizations: Custom plans from $49/month for institutions needing more than 200 members or 3,000 scores. Priority support and onboarding assistance included.
## Target Users
- Individual musicians organizing personal sheet music collections
- Choir directors and music librarians managing ensemble libraries
- Church music directors with seasonal repertoire and volunteer musicians
- University and school music departments
- Community bands, orchestras, and choral societies
- Any organization that catalogs, distributes, and tracks physical or digital sheet music
## Comparison with Alternatives
Unlike spreadsheet-based systems, MusicLib provides full-text search (including OCR inside PDFs), checkout tracking, and multi-device sync. Unlike performance-focused apps like forScore, MusicLib is designed for shared institutional libraries with role-based access and physical copy tracking. Compared to Archive440 (another sheet music cataloging tool), MusicLib offers OCR search, a native iOS app, forScore integration, checkout/reservation tracking, and setlist building (features Archive440 does not provide). Archive440 offers budget tracking and wish list features that MusicLib does not.
