I thought of that but repeats would be a problem. |

| Well, I had to try out the various iPad apps, and here is a little more info. Tabtoolkit will not read files from Guitar Pro 6. The people at GP6 say they are working on making it possible to export to GP5 format, but no date estimate. The people at Tabtoolkit say they are working on being able to read GP6 format, but no date estimate. However, Tabtoolkit does read PDFs, as does MusicReader (http://musicreader.net/), which has a free iPad app but requires a PC or Mac version of its MusicReader software ($59) that converts PDFs into its proprietary format. MusicReader has some nice features, including the ability to add annotations, and some page turning alternatives. I like being able to use the MusicReader app in landscape mode on my iPad, since it renders the music full-size, important for my crummy vision. So for now, I'm inputting music on GP6, exporting it as a PDF and reading on the MusicReader app. So, okay, maybe if I spent more time practicing and less time geeking around, I'd be a better slacker. |

| Tab Toolkit just added GP6 support. Also, AirTurn, the makers of the MusicReader app Cynthia mentioned, have announced the availability of a Bluetooth page turning pedal for the iPad sometime before the end of 2010. Supposedly the pedal will work with other apps as well. |
