User experiences with unRealbook or Songbook+ and MIDI

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience using either unRealbook or Songbook+ on an iPAD.

What I would like to do is use either unRealbook or Songbook+ to display a chart and at the same time send SYSEX and MIDI commands associated with each chart to changes patches on my synths. I know both products can do this.

My main concern is attaching either the Camera Connection Kit or mini-USB adapter to a USB to MIDI adapter. I plan to mount the iPAD in a holder designed to attach to a microphone stand and I am concerned that the adapter could work its way loose and fall out of the iPAD.

Has anyone experience this sort of problem? Is it a problem? If so, how did you overcome it?

Thanks! Ed
