Because I also had a similar issue in iBooks with scrolling using the
braille display, which Anna told me how to solve by going to the end of
the text field, panning left once, and doing the scrolling chord, I find
that i can now also scroll reliably in the Pages app. In the case of the
Pages app, if i go past the end of my text to where it says "txt field"
and then pan left once and do the "o" chord, i am not only scrolled to
the next page but am scrolled so that the new page is the beginning page
on my screen and I then don't have to scroll again until I go through the
pages my display shows and then again pan left. So now I can either continue
doing my church music and Scriptures in Pages or do them in notes so that
I have a continuous file and don't have to scroll. I'll probably stick
with Pages as it gives me more control for skipping around to different
pages than Notes does.

Today I took my iPhone and braille display to try to sing with everybody and
follow along in the Scripture passages at church. I had typed everything onto
my computer and sent it to Pages on my iPhone. It worked reasonably well. The
only problem I had was that sometimes I would change pages and either I would
have blank display for a while or the right page didn't come up. I am not
using sppeech for this, just my iPhone and Refreshabraille 18. Is there an
app I can use or a way that I can use pages so that I'm not having to change
pages. Usually it seems that about 3 of my pages show up on the screen or at
least can be panned on my display. Then I have to scroll using 3456chord and
1456-chord. If another page doesn't come up pretty quickly, I'm left behind
with only an 18-cell braille disply. Is there an app that will let me just
keep panning from one end of a file to the other? I did like that I could try
to go to different pages in case something happened out of sequence but I
don't like being stuck trying to get the display to show the next page. I
need to be able to just keep panning from beginning to end of the file
without having to do a scroll command. Would Notes or Plaintext work for
this; I know there have been issues using Notes for longer files but would
that matter as much since I'm muting speech? If I can get this perfected it
will save me from having to carry around a backpack with a song notebook and
a couple of Bible volumes.
Thanks for any suggestions.
