RE: Anyone using a tablet for lily?

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Richard:

This may be what you want (and I use):
Sahara Slate PC i500 ( Windows 7 Professional ) from Tablet Kiosk
(www.TabletKiosk.com). I has a 6.5" x 10.5" screen. It can display full page
PDF's generated by Lilypond using the software Music Reader
(www.MusicReader.net). The software allows viewing one page, two page, or
half page. The screen can be rotated (landscape or portrait). With the
stylus comments can be written, and erased, from the PDF. The slate also has
a "disappearing" keyboard. Since I use the slate at the piano I use a USB
foot pedal to turn pages.  This can be purchased from Music Reader. Pages
can be "turned" using the stylus.

Ideally you want two pedal presses per page turn - one to turn the top of
the page (while you are playing from the bottom of the page) and the other
to complete the page turn once you have started on the top of the new page.
Denemo does this in its page mode display (but this is not a the real
typeset music, just the input for checking).
