OT-I have always wanted this, especially for smaller ensembles. But, as a musician... I must say we write comments in our music in different ways and would have to learn the new "symbols"... It would be great at a rehearsal, if the conductor would say " I want a crescendo at letter B"...and he marks it in his score...and that marks shows up in the individual parts that are affected by it. Another thing that wastes time at rehearsals: Conductor says "let's start at measure 129" or "lets start at the second allegro passage" Or "let's start at letter G" ...There are ALWAYS people who go, "Measure 149?" "which allegro passage?" "Letter B? Letter E? D?" well if the conductor touched the score where he wanted to start, everyone's part would light up at that spot. as a former orchestral music librarian, the thought of NOT having to erase pencil marks after a concert is enough to make me HAPPY! annette the bassoonist....

Hi Mike, With the ebook equivalent of a waa-waa pedal those same musicians could turn the pages of their eScores with a click of their foot. AM

And oh by the way, when Bruce doesn't like the key for his performance of the Gorilla Game Theme Song at our 20th annual reunion again at San Diego Symphony Hall, he merely asks all the musicians to push the little "up arrow" twice so the music is instantly transposed up a whole step -- something not possible in the black ink-on-paper world. I'm happy if they play soft enough the audience can hear me most of the time. That Gorilla Theme Song is one 'loud' piece to sing! BB
