Full backup and restore

To backup all your data, including lyrics, set lists, and settings, tap the button in the upper right corner of the screen (share button), then choose the option Back up all data. The app will create a file with all your data, which you can save locally, send by email, or upload to a cloud service.

To import the backup file into the app, tap the file and choose to open it with the Lyrics+ or Chords&Tabs app. The app will replace all your data with the data from the backup file. Be careful, because this operation cannot be undone.

Sharing songs

Alternativately, to get a copy of your songs that can be open in any text editor, tap the button in the upper right corner of the screen (share button), then choose the option Export Songbook. All your songs are added to a zip file named iPadSongs.zip. It can take a few seconds, depending on the size of your songbook. When it finishes, you can send the file via email. If you prefer, you can connect the iPad to a computer, start iTunes in the computer, then copy the file using iTunes File Sharing (click on the Applications tab, then, under the section File Sharing, click on the icon for this app).

To import the songs into the iPad, you have to extract the .zip file in a computer, and then copy the resulting .txt files to the app using iTunes File Sharing – see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201301. The app will add the songs to your songbook.

This option does not allow exporting set lists.
