I think my post has been misconstrued. I have been a BIAB user for decades (and worked as a systems engineer for Compaq/HP/Cisco etc.) even longer.

I do have a number of Android tablets as well as a Surface Pro 3 (on which I currently run BIAB.)

What I meant was a stripped down INTERFACE to DISPLAY BIAB tunes ( I currently tend to just use .PDF versions of Fakebooks.) I bought legitimate Kindle versions of these, and converted them because PDF readers are more agile than the Kindle App for selecting and displaying digital versions of sheet music.

The downside, obviously, is that PDFs cannot be transposed (I play Bb and Eb saxes as well as some flute.) Though I can sight-transpose Concert, I prefer to read in the key of the instrument I'm playing.

Because I have (or can create) BIAB files of nearly tune in my fakebooks, I would really like to have one version of EACH tune that I can easily transpose at will.

Also, as I play WX-7 and WX-11 woodwind controllers, I would LOVE to have an easy means of changing patches (especially upper banks) for live performance.

I can DO all this with BIAB currently, but even though I have a touch screen, it's usually necessary to root around for a stylus because of the small icons on the interface. It is really not an issue of the machine resources, but the desire for a simpler interface to use in live situations (which is currently not feasible given the enornous number of features available on the full version.)


I hope this clarifies. Thanks for the comments.
