Re: tablet

[Tim McNamara]

I use my iPad with unRealBook to organize lead sheets produced by LilyPond for 
all my gigs.  With the Retina display it works fine for lead sheets but might 
be too small for orchestral or even piano music.  Rumor has it that Apple is 
planning a 13" iPad, but then rumor has all sorts of things about Apple- most 
of it wrong.

The thing that makes this work is the clean-ness of LilyPond output, even 
better with the simpler "hand written" jazz font that was recently shared.  
Even at the small screen size, the clarity of the scores is excellent.

A band mate gives us things he's done in Finale and I am always surprised by 
how poor the engraving looks.
