Electronic music readers

[soh choon wee]

I finally decided to adopt an electronic music readers...... (and i am totally new to it)

I had been using physical scores for decades. And recently i finally move my studio, and decided to keep up with modern technology.


How do i get started?? Please, i thank you all for whatever advise.

I use a 12.9 inch iPad Pro which is a good size to read scores on I think and sits well on my piano. I keep all the scores I want to read in an app called Forscore, which I believe is pretty popular among a lot of musicians. Henle etc also now have their own app and they also sell digital scores. If you pay a small yearly amount for Forscore, you can also enable a feature whereby either with a head flip or by moving your lips, you can turn the score

Best regards,

OH !!!!!!!! all these while, i thought there is a new gadget (just like metronome) that i can purchased from music stores......
So, it is the good old ipad ??? !!!!! i am a little worried, i thought the screen is a little small as compared to the usual printed physical copy...........

I am a little worried as (as i am 63 year old), i am not too sure if the resolution on ipad can be big enough for someone with presbyopia.

THanks for your comment..... Thanks.

For me still the best solution at home is an All-in-one Windows PC with a 22' or 24' touchscreen. That's big enough to have two clearly readable PDF pages at once on the screen. An IPad would be too small for my decreasing eye-sight.

I use Mobile Sheets as a software which makes it easy to flip pages or even to annotate the PDF scores.

I recently got a TCL Nxtpaper 14, which is a 14.3" Android tablet with a 2400 x 1600 aspect ratio better suited for documents than most tablets which are optimised for video aspect ratios. It allows for full display of A4 sheets. It has multiple display modes e.g. to simulate e-ink in both colour and black and white.

I run Mobile Sheets to access my music PDFs. It's OK-ish but has most hideously complicated UI.
