Question 1

What is MakeMySongBook?

Accepted Answer

MakeMySongBook is a free web application that lets you build printable music tab books. Upload your song PDFs, organize them into chapters, and generate a professionally laid out, print-ready book with smart double-sided page alignment.

Question 2

How does the smart page alignment work?

Accepted Answer

When printing double-sided, multi-page songs need to start on a left page so both pages are visible in one spread without flipping. MakeMySongBook automatically inserts blank pages where needed so every multi-page song starts on the correct side. Single-page songs fill gaps naturally.

Question 3

Is MakeMySongBook free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, MakeMySongBook is completely free to use. There are no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no usage limits. No account needed.

Question 4

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. MakeMySongBook requires no account, no sign-up, and no login. Just open the tool, upload your PDFs, and start building your songbook. It's completely free.

Question 5

What file formats does MakeMySongBook support?

Accepted Answer

MakeMySongBook accepts PDF files as input. You can upload individual song PDFs, and the tool will merge them into a single print-ready PDF book. The output is always a PDF file optimized for double-sided printing.

Question 6

Can I organize songs into chapters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create chapter dividers to group songs by genre, instrument, difficulty, or any category you choose. Each chapter can have a custom description, and you can pick from four divider page styles — Classic, Modern, Minimal, and Ornate. Chapters appear in the auto-generated table of contents in the final book.

Question 7

Does MakeMySongBook add page numbers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MakeMySongBook automatically adds page numbers to every page, along with song title headers in the top-right corner. The table of contents references these page numbers so you can quickly find any song.

Question 8

What instruments is MakeMySongBook designed for?

Accepted Answer

MakeMySongBook works with tabs and sheet music for any instrument — guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, piano, fiddle, and more. If you have your music as PDF files, you can build a book from them regardless of instrument.

Question 9

Can I customize the book cover?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MakeMySongBook includes a built-in cover designer where you can set a title, subtitles, and author name. Choose from instrument artwork (guitar, mandolin, banjo, and more) and decorative elements to personalize the design. You can also upload a custom HTML cover file and add a logo image.

Question 10

Which browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

MakeMySongBook works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Since it uses modern web APIs for PDF processing, we recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser.

Question 11

Can I rename individual pages within a song?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can edit song names at the group level or rename individual pages. The names you set appear as headers on each page in the final PDF, which is useful for multi-page songs where each page covers a different section.

Question 12

How do I print the generated book?

Accepted Answer

After generating your PDF, download it and open it in any PDF reader. When printing, select "Print on both sides" (duplex) and "Flip on long edge" in your printer settings. The smart page alignment ensures every song spread will be correct.
