I've been doing a lot of reading while traveling to ensure that I'm fully informed on the best practices and approaches for Windows 8 apps. I haven't tested MusicReader on Windows 8 myself, so I hope I'm not speaking out of line, but I doubt they have full support for all of the gestures and such that the Windows 8 tablets support. It probably also won't act like an app that was written with Windows 8 in mind (it won't have proper tiles on the start screen, won't be available through the Microsoft store, etc). Has anyone tried Musicreader on a Windows 8 tablet yet?
Musicreader would work, but you are right it doesn't have touch support so it only works in desktop mode and isn't as easy as it would be to use mouse and keyboard to run it... that being said, Musicreader is a ugly unintuitve interface that doesn't have nearly as nice of features as Mobilesheets hence why I only use my android tablet for sheet music and use Mobilesheets haha...
