I like the way light reflects off it when I'm playing. I like the way music looks on paper. I like not having to worry about a light source making it impossible for my middle-aged eyes to see the sceen properly at a distance adequate for playing. <BR/><BR/>I do agree with you that a two-page version would be far nicer because often people who publish music or prepare it for publication allow difficult passagework in both hands to happen between the insides of an even-numbered page and an odd-numbered one.<BR/><BR/>I also like the fact that I can put music in my violin or viola case and carry it around with me. A notebook computer would make it necessary for me to carry a whole 'nother bag. I would also have to worry about making sure the thing had enough battery power.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.com
