: "Mr. Garson was carrying his music in digital form, scanned into his MusicPad Pro Plus, a five-pound tablet computer made by a company called Freehand Systems. The $1,200 device, with a 12-inch liquid-crystal-display touchscreen, is the first of a class of computers that enable musicians to store music and edit it onscreen. Soon it will also allow them to communicate with one another over wireless networks. "
Whoa - this probably means that within a few years, music stands at concerts will be screens that... refresh at the proper time, thus there would be no quick "flip" to the next page at the end of the measure. And it might mean that arrangers and orchestrators jobs will be digitized. Interesting.
