Music Reader on the iPad
I’ve blogged about an ideal music reading software. Music Reader is a program that exists for Mac, PC, and Tablet PC’s, and it looks like they’re preparing an iPad version. They are asking for musicians to complete a short survey about features they find important in the software, and you can sign up to be notified on its release. While it’s not my ideal, it looks like a good program, with PDF importing and built in recording/playback in-app. Sign up to be notified on its release here.

I use Music Reader on an HP tablet 12″ screen – it is just big enough – I think the iPad will be great if it was bigger – hope this will happen soon!
Anna, I had the chance to hold an iPad at an Apple Store this weekend, and I agree that the size of the iPad is a little bit less than ideal for reading PDF scans of 8.5″x11″ paper. However, the size of the iPad’s screen is just about the right size for reading choral octavos. I think that with the right software displaying a variable-size font, the iPad could be great for reading any music, especially in landscape mode. Thanks for commenting!
The iPad version of MusicReader launched yesterday.
I’ve downloaded it on my MacBook and on my iPad. I’m working on a review of the software now!
