Or, "What do I do when the conductor decides to change the score?" In my
experience, it wasn't uncommon for a conductor to decide that the composer OBVIOUSLY
meant there to be a crescendo at that bar, so everyone pencil it in, please. Those
'amended' scores are often a treasure in later years, if only for personal
reasons. -- Ian
I've never tried one. For me it's really
emissive display technology
which
affects the readability of a document, even more
so than its
packaging.
For the a few years, an outfit in the music biz has been attempting
to sell an LCD sheet music display device to take the place of
traiditional paper scores. It's quite expensive (about $1K the last
time I checked) and hasn't yet addressed the questions of "What do I
do when some idiot kicks my music stand over?" and "What do I do when
the batteries fail in the middle of a performance?".
