So, I'm starting to convert all my sheet music to .pdf format, to be able to view on either an android, or an iPad tablet. Currently it's a painstaking task of scanning on a printer and saving as a pdf. Is there an app or program that would make this task somewhat easier?

I was then thinking of using the Donner Bluetooth Page Turner. Anyone have an opinion on that, or do you have another device you like?

I know this topic has been discussed in the past, but I want to bring it up to 2020 speed. It seems to be a nice project for those of us who are in lockdown, or semi lockdown mode.

Thanks smile

OnSong’s pretty good for a pdf app too. It will do audio and MIDI tracks linked to the pdf, Markers so you can skip around the track, and respond to incoming MIDI if you are calling up songs from your arranger...

And it can link page turns and Marker jumps to Bluetooth too. Me, I’d go for something more than a two pedal setup if you want to use Markers...
