OK, for a single pdf page at the time "PDFtoMusic Pro 1.5.0" ( you need this last version: http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/pdftomusicpro.htm) it is and stays free! For many of you it may be enough already, certainly for experiments. I use a cracked Sibelius from the internet. MuseScore is a free notation program anyway. MuseScore will be the future standard notation program, no doubt. The last version is "MuseScore 2.0 Beta 2" (http://musescore.org/en/node/42051).

There is a lot to tell about all this stuff, about advantages and disadvantages, but it also changes fast since reguraly new versions with new options become available. So any disadvantage may be vanished next month.
At iPad you can use "Avid Scorch" (Sibelius oriënted) and "MuseScore Songbook" (MuseScore oriënted)!
At Androïd tablets only the "MuseScore Songbook" is available which can transpose.

So if you like to experiment with the results in one of the apps I can give you links to Dropbox or SugarSync where you can import thousands of songs of music from my directories in all formats I've been mentioning and see how it looks like.
To begin with, if you want to experiment what tablet do you want to use? IPad or Androïd oriënted?
Secondly if you already use stuff at an iPad which apps are you using? IGigBook? ForScore? Avid Scorch?
Btw only the payed tablet apps will do the jobs, but that's no money, so all your experiments already can start actually completely free.

Since I've a lot of experience I can help you to use several stuff in an optimum way and at the same time I'll learn from all new pitfalls you guys might experience! But you need to invest some time to learn as usually!
