Dear Musicians,

     Do any of you have experience using a Lenovo Idea Pad Pro to read sheet music? I'm eager to know how easy it is to read scores from it, how easy it is to notate scores, how smoothly it works with a Bluetooth page turner pedal, and how smoothly MobileSheets runs on it.

Give me a week and I'll let you know, C. Just set up two yesterday, page turner arrives tomorrow. Apologies, this android phone just produces a wall  of words, paragraphing doesn't function.  going fine so far, but early days.  https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/f...l#pid57097  Regards, A

Since early May, I've been using a Lenovo Idea Tab Pro (Matte Edition, 256GB Wifi) with Mobile Sheets. Bought it for that specific purpose.
Price-wise much more interesting than the competitors.
Although the screen is narrower than an iPad Pro, reading sheet music poses no problem for me.

Mobile Sheets runs smoothly, but I don't have a large library yet. (Next up is adding some Real Books.)
Annotating scores is smooth with the included Lenovo Tab Pen Plus.
I have no experience with noting scores myself. (In another app?)

I don't have a Bluetooth page turner pedal (yet), but I'm thinking of buying a Flic button (or similar).
I like the small formfactor and could attach it to my trumpet of flugelhorn.

Definitely my best purchase of the last year!

Thanks so very much, Derbie!  This is extremely helpful!

Have you encountered any indoor lighting conditions under which the display isn't bright enough?

Not yet. For me the brightness is more than sufficient.
I know there are better and brighter screens, but with that comes also another price tag...

To avoid annoying reflections I bought the Matte Edition, which does seem to help.
Probably a matte screen film / protection could do as well.

Also bought the matte edition for legibility and that writing on a matte screen feels like paper, C.

Thanks very much, Derbie!  The Matte Edition seems the best way to go!

Hi C,

Connectivity issues between the two tablets, worked fine for 6 weeks, then suddenly stopped Bluetooth between the two tablets.

Looks like Lenovo, not Zubersoft.
