Same here… a variety of strength reading glasses has become necessary!

If it’s a home rig, maybe a computer monitor and a pdf reader software package could get the music up larger and easier to read?

Hi Diki,
You encouraged me to stack my piano and sx900 again . I’ve recently bought flip laptop , and I’m transferring my sheet music to it. Glasses are next on the agenda. It’s only an additional foot further back, so hopefully glasses will work.

Hadn’t considered a computer monitor, but since it’s only home use, not a problem to set up. Might check those out too.

Thank you

The laptop should have an HDMI output, you could put a nice big monitor on the wall behind the SX900 to where you don’t need glasses!

That way, the laptop is by your side and easy to operate, but the screen is in front of you where you can read and play easily…

Just a thought.

Hi Diki,
Decided to order a monitor, brilliant idea of yours.
Four sets of glasses was getting a bit ridiculous, driving, reading, sewing, and next trying to read sheet music.
Every 12 months when I go to optometrist they tell me I need them replaced. Bit of a con I think.
Monitor sounds like a great idea.

If you haven’t already got one, I’d recommend a Bluetooth dual pedal switch, so you can turn the (virtual) pages of your sheet music display app hands free… 😎🎹

I think there are ways to get the laptop, when displaying sheet music, to call up the Registration you need at the same time. If you haven’t tried this, it’s worth looking at.

I’m all about simplifying what you have to do technically so performance is sit back and relax time!

Hi Diki, I’ll check into it. Guessing it would depend on how sophisticated the software I’m using is.

OnSong is one of the market leaders, and can send MIDI/USB codes when entries are called up. It can also associate SMF’s or audio files with the sheet music.

Worth checking into…
