Yes Rob, I don't think that many ereaders cope with all lighting conditions, but the backlit ones do, better than tablets- or at least conventional tablets.

On the subject of notation, its something I have thought about a lot. To develop a full blown notation program for BIAB seems to me to be unfeasible because there are so many special requirements. For example, adding a gracenote can throw out the rest of the bar's timing if is not treated as having no 'time segment' then there are things like the rules for direction of stems, placement of staccato and accents, ties and slurs, appoggiaturas, not to mention the specialised symbols required for specific instruments - e.g. pedal points. It's all far too complex to provide as an 'additional feature'. Where to draw the line, for a 'basic' notation package, is very hard to decide, it depends on your preferences as a musician, its different if you are a church organist as opposed to a realbook player

My view is that if BIAB can provide a lead sheet this is good enough, as long as one can export the MIDI and work on it elsewhere if desired. I would be happy with read only notation. (IMO)

10 inches (IPAD)....would be a bit small for my eyes, I would need a 14 inch screen at least.
