Coletânea de músicas cifradas
Explanation:
"Fake Books are massive collections with notated melody line, chord symbols, and complete lyrics. These are the mainstay of professional musicians, and once you've learned how to use a fake book, you will enjoy a new level of playing experience removed from the constraints of the realized accompaniment."

"Temas de filmes no formato fake book (melodia e cifras). Mais de 490 canções, incluindo: Alfie • America • An American Symphony • And All That Jazz • Axel F • Baby Elephant Walk • Be Our Guest • Bella Notte • Blue Velvet • Bohemian Rhapsody • Born Free • Canon in D • Chariots of Fire • Cheek to Cheek • Cinema Paradiso • Don't Cry for Me Argentina • The Dreame • Easter Parade • e outras!."

Fake Book

Explanation:
Has absolutely NOTHING to do with fake, fraud, immaterial property piracy etc.
It is a noun (probably originally a proper noun, hence the capitalization) for certain special books for singin or playing different instruments, especially in Jazz. So possibly it is better to leave untranslated. In the second ref the character of the book is explained.

tablatura

Explanation:
Maril, o Marten está certo, não tem nada a ver com "livro falso". O fake book é uma espécie de notação musical simplificada. "Tablatura" pode ser uma possibilidade, apesar de não ser 100% precisa.

neutral Luciana Ribeiro: tablatura é uma notação específica para violão/guitarra/baixo, e o Fake Book é normalmente cifrado, mas possui também a partitura simplificada da linha vocal - quando cantada
