Thanks
I came upon it because at the moemnt I'm experimenting with music layout while enlarging pieces to compensate for poor eyesight.

Spoiler:
I've been getting into classical music on the piano lately. I started out on classical organ, decades ago (damn, I feel old now
), but switched to popular organ/keyboard later, and didn't touch classical music since then.
Because of my poor eyesight, I've been experimenting with enlargement, and putting enlarged music on one a4 just doesn't work. Therefore I now scan a piece, crop as much white space away as possible, and reprint it on a3.
I actually selected a (digital) piano in upright stand, because it has the music rest as close and low as possible; right above the keyboard. A music rest on top wouldn't work with an a3 page. Way too high up and too large.
On my stage piano, which has many buttons on the top face and thus needs the music stand to be behind it, I use a 40 inch TV and a mini-computer with a bluetooth foot pedal as a sheet music 'stand'...

Now, I want an e-reader big enough for Orchestra music, with the ability to go back to the right location for repeats!
