I have a bunch of programs I use - here's a summary for sheet music and tabs I keep everything organized in dropbox. They sync with my iphone (though they aren't organized when they sync). I used to have them in evernote...which syncs with all my devices but I use that for work and it was getting full! Then on the ipad I use onsong for all my lyrics/chords I might want to play in company- could easiy use for tab - simple to import any kind of pdf/jpg If I have a soundfile (eg an mp3) I want to play along with or learn from I use anytune - will slow things down, loop sections, change the key, etc. If I actually want to learn a fingerstyle/classical piece I can't get the hang of I put it in musescore and have it play it back to me (somewhat tedious but doesn't take as long as you would expect) - think that's an apple program though

I use forScore on an iPad which runs from PDFs. I love it because 1) when you import a PDF you crop out all the empty space around the actual music so you fill the iPad with the actual tab/notation and not space, and 2) it works brilliantly with a PED peddle so you turn pages by tapping a foot pedal rather than swiping pages. It also has a metronome, allows annotation of the scores, and allows links with MP3s (though I rarely use those features). I use it every day and it just works.
I also use GuitarPro which works across PC/iPad, but I don't find I use that nearly as much as the much simpler forScore.

With the memory of an amnesiac goldfish, I rely heavily on tab books. Thanks to forScore - see HERE - instead of mountains of irritating, clumsy paper with page turns in awkward places, I now have one iPad with everything readily accessible. I find forScore very easy to use. Scanning in scores initially was a bit of a flog but as straightforward as it could be. The App enables easy organisation by composer/arranger, tags and set lists. The annotation facility is useful. I have ordered a pedal - see HERE - for foot operated page turns, which will allow me now to wreck pieces continuously without the past pleasure of having to pause to flip pages, knock the tab book on the floor, drop the guitar while trying to catch it and find the right expletives.

That pedal look great Brian. I'm sick of having several bits of paper constantly flying off my music stand, so will definitely be looking into the app / pedal combo.
