  Excellent!! Really like your Tablet PC uses for music. I use it for business. It is inspiring to see technology used on a high level for music vs paper. I am also a musician, thus always looking for ways to use technology as a usefull tool to improve the craft. Thank you keep well!

  I have been trying to find something like this to use at my church. We play mostly from tablature. Will this still work? What is the actual software you use? Thanks for your help.

  I have an HP tx2000z tablet PC and was wondering how I could use it for the purposes you so eloquently and clearly describe. I was especially surprised by the foot switch you mention near the end of your video and will try to find one for this use. Thank you for taking time from what must be a very busy schedule to share this very useful knowledge with those like me who could benefit from it. I plan to view as many of your videos in this series as I can find. With great admiration – Rob

  Great episode, and very informative, Hugh! I loved the cute infomercial with the parody of the exaggerated misery caused by paper scores so often found in other infomercials. Congratulations on your anniversary and wish you continued success!

  Regarding online scores, you’re right – most of them are public domain editions and not very reliable, but they are cheap and easy to download in a pinch. For better editions, i scan a lot of my own paper scores directly into the computer. Please visit my website and see the “Getting Started” section to learn more!

  Thanks for your comment – and kudos for recognizing Babar! The Fujitsu Tablet PC ST series seem to have a “view everywhere” screen option, that certainly helps to provide both a wide viewing angle and keeps glare to a minimum. Without the special screen (i have an older Fujitsu as a backup), the glare can be an issue under certain lighting conditions (direct overhead spots can be a problem).

  Very informative and well done. I liked the Babar excerpt. Would like to know if glare is an issue. And what about the problem of many editions not being available online–do you scan most of your scores? Thanks!
