I'm sure there's someone working on a finale type program for the ipad and that will accommodate changing keys. It's only a matter of time.

As for the comments about the tablets crashing or running out of battery, the stability is very good with tablets, provided you take user precautions. Keeping the tablets free of unnecessary software (making sure the personnel aren't downloading games or personal utilities and whatnot) I'm sure would help. And all it takes is to throw it on the charger the night before a performance to keep the battery working.


I don't doubt there may be an issue here or there. I just feel the likelihood would be the same as any other issues. We've all had or seen those moments of "I forgot my music", the sheet music getting blown off a stand or falling during a quick page turn, etc. you can't protect against everything, but it's certainly worth trying.

PS - I use an ipad for most practicing. As for sheet music size, you can look up YouTube videos of "forscore" to see the solutions and thoughts on size if music. When it comes down to it, I personally don't have too much trouble with the sheet music size and by the time I'm going to perform, the music is more of a guide and most of it is not needing to actually read every note. Pretty rare that I have to sight read something right away. In THAT case I'd be much more hesitant.
