Depends on your needs. A couple of gigs (external) SDcard is cheap, and
modern phones often have 1GB of RAM or more. Processing a reasonable
6-8 page score could take a couple of minutes.

But a more interesting question is: why would one want to do this? I
carry most of my scores in PDF format on my 10.1" tablet, but I see no
added value in being able to run the .ly files through LP on the tablet.

Maybe the OP can shed some light on the backgrounds of his question?
