A quick guide to your jazz library on Mac and iPad.

A compact jazz reference

Cheat Sheets Jazz brings together 92 illustrated cards in English and Spanish, organized into 12 sections: fundamentals, scales, chords, harmony, voicings, reharmonization, arranging, orchestration, composition, improvisation, repertoire and credits. Written entirely by Jaime Jaramillo Arias, a university jazz educator for more than twenty years.

Browse and read

Open the collection from the library, choose a section or select a card. On iPad, swipe or use the previous and next buttons. On Mac, use the physical keyboard’s arrow keys or the navigation buttons. The card index takes you directly to a topic.

Find a word in its exact location

Search for a word or phrase in the library. Open a result to see the matching location highlighted on the card. The match controls move between occurrences, and Read card text opens the aligned text. Search uses the currently selected language.

Zoom and bookmarks

On iPad, pinch or double-tap to zoom. On Mac, use the trackpad, a double-click or the zoom controls. Fit card restores the full view. Use the bookmark button to save a card; your bookmarks and reading position remain on that device.

English and Spanish

New installations open in English. Use the globe menu to switch to Español or English. Your choice is remembered, and the current card and bookmarks are preserved. All cards are included in both languages.

Offline use, purchase and updates

The entire collection, search and bookmarks work offline. No account, subscription or in-app purchase is required. The App Store edition is for Mac and iPad, with one universal purchase. It is not offered for iPhone. Updates are delivered through App Store.

Troubleshooting

If a search returns no results, check the selected language and any section filter, or try a shorter term. If a card appears cropped, use Fit card. If keyboard navigation stops on Mac, close any open menu or sheet and click the card before using the arrow keys. Reopen the app if necessary.
