What tablet do you use? I use a laptop with a 12" diagonal screen to avoid having to print out the music I download (from IMSLP and other sites), but I find even that limits the amount of the page I can access without scrolling. And, of course, the problem is worse if I enlarge the image. Do you just tolerate the need for more scrolling?
The concertmaster of one orchestra I play in performs from a tablet. I don't see how he does it, but he does.

Music like the Jeanjean etudes SecondTry mentions, or the Nielsen Concerto as another example, go quite far afield of the scales and arpeggios we've all practiced since our musical infancy. It isn't that they can't be analyzed in terms of the basic patterns, but they're heavily embellished with chromatics that defy the standard patterns. Those passages are the ones that I have to mark - especially since they often sound fine with the wrong (unaltered) note. Especially if you practice the wrong (unaltered) note enough to get used to it.
