I have a couple of friends who have told me that the iPAD's 9.7" screen is too small to comfortably read sheet music.

Does anyone have advice on the topic of sheet music readers, e.g. PDF readers with some form of page turning?

I'm interested in devices specifically designed for this application and that can be used with the PA3x especially if it can also be used with the PA's video interface.

Hi Ian,

I use Sibelius to make arrangements for the music I play, then "print" them to MusicReader PDF. I also use Word to create prayer and sermon notes and save them as PDFs. This way I can adjust the settings to create excellent PDFs that are easy to read on the iPad.

So don't write the iPad off if you use one for other purposes. It really is an efficient use of your assets and with a foot pedal Bluetooth page turner is a great tool for the job!

Graham,

I have visited the MusicReader site and it appears to offer all the software and page turning hardware that I need.

Regarding your comment about the iPad. I do not use Apple products and at present on my desktop I use an HP LP2475w display. One of the reasons that I chose this 24" screen was because of its true 16:10 and not 16:9 format. With this I can display (in real 1:1 size i.e. 210mm x 297mm) two A4 pages side-by-side. Unfortunately the screen less stand weighs 13lb (5.9kG) so there's no way that this would sit on a PA3x music stand However for my home use I could VESA mount it on the wall leaving the PA3x music stand for times I'm playing paper music.

Excellent spec at 1200x800 16:10 aspect ratio, but this is a 10.1 screen so my guess is that you cannot easily read a whole sheet of music when turning the display for vertical mode?

Pretty Cool Feature tutorial Lika!

Have got to get myself an Ipad, even my 3 year old cousin carries one..

Lika,

My original post asked about viewing "sheet music". In other words music notation like two staff piano music, not viewing lead sheets.
