Mine would do that, but it wouldn't fit on a music stand. The keyboard would rather unbalance it anything I could balance it on and still have it a decent distance away. And there's still the page-turning for anything but a lead sheet(I'm guessing that's what you fake from). > > I can imagine audio analysis software that listens to the music > > and guesses where in the song you are--with touch controls on > > screen to override in case the software screws up. > > > You've never played as part of a 40 piece brass band or a full sized 100 > piece orchestra.

I don't see the problems as being quite as bad as you > seem to figure. It's been a while, but I've played from music where we had to turn pages back when I was in the college band. I figure I can reach as far as a music stand to turn pages if it's a simple process; I do it with my loose-leaf notebook for a couple pieces. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |
