I've experimented with playing from a 7" screen and, as I guessed, it is too small for me. I also tried out a 20" monitor oriented in landscape, so that it was equivalent to a smaller sized monitor in portrait. That worked fine but I came to the conclusion that I should go for a two-page solution. The idea would be that while playing the right hand page both pages slowly drift to the left so that the next page is in view well before you need it. This solution has no circumstance in which you have to make a sudden switch to a new page without it being in view first: for repeats the right-pedal press moves the left hand page back so that you can see the repeat start while you are finishing the first time bar on the right hand page. For the case where you have to skip forward (as in a rondeau) you use the third pedal to move the right hand page forward to the next verse (while you are finishing the rondeau on the left hand page). This is different from the situation with real paper, where. for example, a repeat start may be on the left hand page and there is nothing you can do about it. So I have bundled a program twopageturner in the tools section of Denemo, and upgraded the annotation facilities: there a pre-programmed buttons to insert several of the things you might wish to annotate onto a score and the ability to choose the color, font, size of the annotation and to drag it into position. The proof-reading option in Denemo now supports the annotations generated by this program rather than the earlier single-page version.
