Everyone knows that centuries-old and inevitable problem in music industry: in the middle of playing music instrument, players are often forced to stop playing in order to turn paper score sheets or ask others to turn the scores for them. (Facts: almost all music instruments need to be played with both hands and most music scores are pages long.)
This unnecessary and repetitive break affects players both technically and emotionally. It's like a good conversation being spoiled by an unwanted phone call. You know the feeling.
Few people have taken actions trying to find a solution, but failed for various reasons (awkward, complicated, pricey...), until now. It's disappointing that for a long time there was no easy and inexpensive way to fix this frustrating problem faced by millions of music players eveyday, across the world, and in Internet age.
