Hi Wynton,
I have a Surface Book2 with a 13.5 inch screen and a Nexus 9 tablet. I now use the Surface Book2 all the time, but with an old 15" monitor turned sideways into portrait mode for use at home, and the Surface Book 2 in tablet mode rotated into the portrait mode when away from home.
I have settled on single page portrait mode for all my songs, and I now exclusively use the new "Scroll the Entire Song in Fixed Time" mode for single page scrolling. I use the extremely powerful editing functions of MobileSheets to have a continuous flow music, with pages repeating and cropped as necessary.
I have also set up an unused button on my Tyros 4 Keyboard to initiate the scrolling and can also use a foot button to simulate the keyboard button press (see MIDI Settings/Midi Actions). After much experimentation with the different scrolling methods in MobileSheets, this is the one I have come to prefer. It also eliminates the need to use a foot controller to turn pages. That way I can just concentrate on trying to play more beautifully ;-)
