1. The Players

   Players primarily engage with the charts in chart mode without the need for extensive editing. They can easily assemble playlists for gigs or practice sessions and conveniently read the charts on their devices. Songistic ensures the proper use of symbols for chords and navigation, granting users control over the visual appearance of the charts on their specific devices. The provided charts are meticulously reviewed to ensure accuracy in both form and harmonic content.

   Options: Users can customize how the charts appear on their devices based on individual settings, including chord symbols (e.g., "minor" or "major"), bars per line, and various layout options. These customizable features offer extensive control over chart presentation, tailored to different screen sizes such as iPhones and iPads. Songistic's view options and advanced functionalities, like auto-navigation, surpass those found in other similar applications.

2. The Practicing Musicians

   Music students of all ages and proficiency levels, as well as professional musicians, can leverage Songistic for practice purposes. The platform offers a diverse selection of sounds and grooves that users can access during play-along sessions. For instance, musicians can choose a "Shuffle" style for a song and select corresponding drum and bass grooves while the music is playing. Songistic serves as a comprehensive play-along app with high-quality grooves, enabling songs to be played in any key and tempo.

3. The Writers/Editors

   These users are musicians who customize existing songs or create new compositions by utilizing editing functions extensively. Songistic features a robust bar editor with numerous efficiency-enhancing tools for editing existing music or composing from scratch. The platform's quick bar insertion feature streamlines song entry process, ensuring rapid song creation. With a logical breakdown of harmonies, users can easily access common chord combinations without navigating through complex options. Moreover, Songistic provides error checking functionality to maintain chart consistency by enforcing rules on elements like repeat signs and codas.

4. Performance

   Beyond its utility as a practice tool, Songistic offers performance capabilities. While charts are set to repeat infinitely in MIDI play by default, users can adjust settings to play songs from beginning to end or repeat specific sections a set number of times. Notably, the solo-section feature allows for the easy setup of performances where an intro is followed by repeated middle sections before concluding with an outro—making it ideal for live performances alongside vocalists or soloists.
