## What Gig does

- **PDF sheet music reader** with library management, fast page turns, Apple Pencil annotations, bookmarks, and per-page notes.
- **Guitar Pro player** for `.gp`, `.gp3`, `.gp4`, `.gp5`, `.gpx`, `.gp7+` files with interactive playback (alphaTab renderer + GM SoundFont), per-track mixer, tempo slider, looping, count-in, and a piano keyboard / fretboard overlay.
- **Song grouping** — multiple files of the same song (Full Score, Lead, Solo Rhythm, Bass, Drumkit) collapse into one library row with parts, Guitar-Pro-style.
- **Setlists and Live Mode** — full-screen performance mode with tap zones, edge-swipe navigation, accidental-touch lock, and per-entry MIDI / Ampero preset switching.
- **MIDI output** to Ampero Mini and other external pedals (Program Change, CC, Note, SysEx, custom sequences, tuner toggle, all-notes-off panic).
- **Apple Watch companion** — silent stage remote (page turn, score skip, tempo nudge, tuner) with a haptic metronome and musician-mode haptic profiles (Standard, Guitarist, Pianist, Drummer, Bassist, Singer, Band Leader).
- **Vocalist Lyrics Layer** — non-destructive lyrics overlay on PDFs plus a stage-friendly full-screen lyric view with auto-scroll, BPM-driven pacing, section drawer, and current/next section indicator.
- **Smart Lyrics Layer** — paste or import a TXT file and drop chord/lyric blocks onto the score without modifying the original PDF.
- **Band Sync** — local-network multi-device setlist sync over MultipeerConnectivity. One musician hosts; the rest mirror the current song, page, and Live Mode in real time. No internet or account required.
- **Focus Crop** — non-destructive per-page crop to hide margins, headers, footers, or white scanner borders without rewriting the PDF.
- **Practice tracking** — automatic session timing, daily streaks, weekly totals, and per-score history.
- **Face Gesture navigation** (optional) — on-device Vision, no frames leave the device.
- **Widgets** for "resume where you left off" on the iPhone / iPad home screen plus Live Setlist Lock Screen Activity.
- **Bundle export/import** — share a single score (`.gigpages`) or a complete setlist with all referenced PDFs (`.gigpageset`) via AirDrop, Mail, or Files. No cloud account required.
