All the replies were useful to me in that they either gave me another direction and/or confirmed my thought process was relatively valid. Thanks for taking the time to review my post. Some time later I saw that many other musicians are using such things. So I never got to the point of actually scanning it all in and building a document to use in those events. Long story that I'm sure you don't want to know. I never got to try it out since the MM director and myself had a pretty significant "disagreement" during the "Spring Musical Extravaganza" and a parting of ways. With a quick tap of a key we could page to the next page, and repeats could be inserted as the next page rather than going back and forth. This idea occurred to me as we were in the middle of the actual public performances. with the music in sequence and "peeks ahead" at the surprises coming in the first bars of the next page that I needed to be aware of.įor the following year, and for other similar church musical events, I thought it would be easier to simply scan the pages and use a laptop. For that year, we simply ended up using the 3 ring binders and I copied the needed pages and bars of the repeats and put together my own custom binder. We knew that the production would not stop and start in the middle but we had to get through all the rehearsals too.

he would call out starting at measure 58. The problem was, when the director stopped and then restarted. The bass player and myself tried it in the rehearsal and found it to be less than desirable. I started to do a cheat sheet of just the chords but due to the length of the entire production, that idea was quickly abandoned. Especially the ones with tons of chords and changes and modulations.etc. Some of the tunes were easy enough to learn and commit to memory but others were not so easily committed to rote memory. There was a need to place tabs on the sheet music pages so that I could flip back a few pages to grab the repeat, then a few bars later, jump ahead to the ending. We literally had a 3 ring binder and orchestra music being what it is with the DC al coda's and the other various road signs in the music. I had considered that when I was playing in the church orchestra especially for the Christmas musical/stage show/production extravaganza, that we did every year. wouldn't it be much simpler to just scan it? Do I just adjust the "legs" of the rack so the viewfiner is filled, or is there some other magic math I need? Any comments will be appreciated. My concerns are that I want the document picture to be taken as a full size 8 1/2" by 11". I envision just sliding the document into the document holder and snapping a picture.

What I would like to do is build some kind of rack such that the area where the document would lie, would have some kind of frame that defines the area to be photographed, and then have the sides of the rack at some defined focal length so that the camera would sit in a frame above the document. I thought it might be easier to photograph them. I thought of scanning but that process is too slow when one considers you have the time spent arranging the sheet on the glass or reducing the scan size so the finished product fits an 8 1/2" by 11" sheet of paper and then waiting for the mechanical process of the scanner. What I would like to do is copy them so I can load them into my computer. Like a lot of musicians I have pages of sheet music.
