Hi,
Any e-book owners around here? I was wondering if e-books can be of
any use for lilyponders, now or in the future. For example: to read
and search in the documentation, to view PDF scores ?

Hi Martin,
I have a Kindle (DX, the big one) and I have used it for both
reading docs (search is a little slow, but works) and displaying /
playing from scores. I've toyed a bit with creating lilypond scores
sized just right for the kindle, and I have a selection of parts from
my band on it - but I have not yet performed in public using it.
I've got more related ideas: set all my parts from lilypond on one
size paper (a5 landscape is my latest pick), then print full-size or
marching paper parts by scaling the pdf, read them on the kindle
(which is about the same size as a5 paper in landscape mode) or on the
iPhone (small, but an effective reference or in a pinch). Now, what if
someone could port lilypond to run on one of these devices!? We could
typeset music anywhere!
hope this helps,
-Andrew Tucker
