SongBookPro with VerseCAST

SongBookPro is a digital songbook application designed for musicians to store, organize, and display lyrics, chords, and sheet music on tablets, phones, and laptops. It replaces physical binders, featuring tools like song transposition, metronome, annotation, and automatic scrolling for live performances.

To import lyrics from SongBookPro into VerseCAST for display, use the “Share” function within your setlist in SongBookPro to export .sbp file, then open this file directly with the VerseCAST app to automatically populate your set. 

Step-by-Step Import Process

  1. Open SongBookPro: Go to your song setlist that you want to display.
  2. Share Setlist: Tap the three dots (“…”) menu in the top right corner and select Share > SongBookPro to create a .sbp file.
  3. Export/Send: Select your email client or a file-sharing app to send the file.
  4. Import to VerseCAST: Open the shared file using the VerseCAST app, or send the email to the device running VerseCAST and open the attachment with it.
  5. Display: The songs will automatically be added to the current set in VerseCAST for presentation.

Key Tips

  • Supported Format: VerseCAST directly supports SongBookPro (.sbp) files.
  • Method: This allows you to import entire sets for worship, rather than importing songs individually.
  • Alternatives: You can also share using generic ChordPro formats (.cho, .pro) if needed.
