Hmm, most parts I've been coming across from theater companies are
computer notated (looks like Finale).
I think if a smart company like MTI or somebody came up with an App
that could transmit parts in a reader App that would let you view
and change around parts.....and that it would delete itself or not
allow itself to work after a certain time period....
We do a lot of the more classic shows, which are clearly cash cows
for the Libraries that rent them, and they won't even put money into
correcting the same errors that have been in those hand-copied books
for the past 60 years!!!! Fat chance that they'll invest in a new
technology until they start losing rentals because they haven't.
