Hi, Terri. I use mine now at church all the time, but I am sitting and can
just hold it on my lap. The braille lite was much smaller and lighter than
the bn; so I could hold it about waist level and sometimes even rest it on
the choir seat in front of me when we were standing. I might try this with
the bn, resting it on the seat back in front of me when standing, holding
it with my right hand and reading with my left.
I will have to see how that goes.

Dear Paul,
I use my BN QT at all my choir rehearsals. It's wonderful to be able to
take the entire hymn book with me, plus all of the anthems and cantatas. I
never stand during the rehearsals, so the BN isn't a problem.
I wish I had some sturdy place where I could set the BN and use it during
church services. Unfortunately I don't, so I wind up embossing everything I
need. I think sighted people wouldn't appreciate the appearance of me
standing in the choir loft with A BN hanging round me.
Although I have a music stand, I don't think it's sturdy enough to hold a
BN.
