The OP said "just a tap", nothing about automated page turning. The details on the site, mention several programmable touch sensitive spots in the bezel and the video shows tapping one to turn the page. From my experience (I don't play an instrument, but everyone else in my family plays at least one and I would sometimes have the "privilege" of being the page turner for them), that would be a big improvement over turning the pages in a paper score. Much easier to do, quiet and hopefully accurate.

The site also shows reordering the pages of the score. So, if you need to repeat a section, you can set it up to just show that page again. That way you just hit the same spot on the bezel to move through the score. That sounds very good.

Also, one of the accessories shown is a foot pedal for page turning. They seem to think it is something only a piano player would want. But, I think others would find it useful.
