Yeah- I think whatever system I choose that foot switch would be essential to use it with sheet music
i contacted airturn to know if they will release an android version of music reader.
they confirmed me an app is in the works but still did not gave me a release date. they reccomended the mobile sheets app (that i have for free) and i can attest that mobile sheets is a very good app.
i am reading slap it at the moment on the tablet. pretty nice.

I was at an audition the other night and the sax player turned me on to this:
i Gig Book App for iPad Home - The Sheet Music Manager The Pros Use.
I hadn't really considered that I would have much use for an iPad until that night...now I can hardly stand not having one.

This one is the one I've been using lately. I really like how you can mix .pdf files and text based 'cheat sheets'. All in set list order. Very convenient!
Kind of related but is an app available to practice sight reading on the iPad like this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=renegrothmann.primavista&hl=en
I've just started using ForScore to play for musicals. So far I've found that it works very well. I can annotate whatever i need on the charts with either writting (finger or stylus) or typing, or their pallets of 'stamps' (standard notation things like sharps, flats dynamics etc etc).
To set up this first show, I scanned each page making a separate .pdf file for each page and then made a set list of the songs in show order. This works very well when we are running the show. However, in rehearsals its often common to play songs out of show order. Finding the songs is a little messing, having to move page after page to find it, or going to the set list and selecting the page.
ForScore has a linking feature that makes a blue dot on the page to touch and it will take you to another part of the file. Unfortunately it won't move to other .pdfs or other set lists. I haven't experimented yet with all the songs in one file. ForScore information does note that very large files (not sure how large) don't work well, so that might be a problem. And with all the songs in one file I would have to set up a table of contents page to be able to quickly move from one song to another. Still, this might be a better answer that a separate file per song.
The half page turn is a life saver. That setting is global, so when it is turned on, all pages in all files in ForScore are set up for half page turn. In performance that's no sweat. For paging from one song to another, its a tad of a drag cause you have to tap twice for each full page turn.
Its a great program and well worth the money.

Check out GuitarTapp for chord charts of popular music. It connects to a huge online database, does setlists, transposes - really fantastic for cover tunes.
