What You Can Build
Same tool, different books. Sheet music, tabs, chord charts, lead sheets — if it's a PDF, it goes in.
Tips for a Great Book
Name your files "Song Title - Artist.pdf" — MakeMySongBook uses file names as song titles, so clear names save editing later.
Sort PDFs into folders by chapter before uploading. Drag in one folder at a time to keep songs grouped from the start.
Use A4 full-book format for music stands and binder-punching. Use A5 Booklet for a compact book you can fold and staple.
Print on 100–120gsm paper instead of standard 80gsm. It feels better, lasts longer, and handles double-sided printing without bleed-through.
Print a test copy of the first few pages before committing to the full book. Check margins, font size, and page alignment.
Keep your master PDF. When you add or drop songs, update the project and regenerate — no need to start over.
Use heavier paper (160–200gsm) for the cover page for durability. Feed it manually through your printer’s bypass tray.
