Thanks, Kovid, that solved my problem. BTW, I know you didn't design Calibre to display sheet music for musicians, but it seems to serve that purpose quite well. I am using Calibre to organize my extensive library of piano music, and the built-in viewer to display the music on a VESA iMac that I keep on the piano's music stand (connected to Airturn pedals so that I can turn pages with my feet while playing).

The only features I wish Calibre had for this use case are the ability to display multiple pages in the viewer with no gap between them (as they would look in an open book of music) and that ability to add highlights and text annotations to PDFs in the viewer (e.g., to add notes on fingering or dynamics). Or maybe those features already exist and I just haven't found them?

In any case, your work is tremendous and much appreciated!
