Digital Music Stand: Sheet Music on a Tablet, Pages Turned Hands-Free
An online music stand for PDF scores and photos of sheet music: the pages open on a tablet, a phone or a laptop and stay in the browser for the next rehearsal. Pages turn with a Bluetooth pedal, a tap on the edge, or a head turn, a wink or a mouth movement seen by the front camera. Half-page turns show the top of the next page while you finish the bottom of this one, and a setlist opens the next piece by itself.
How to use the stand
Several photos become one piece in the order they were taken; everything stays in the library of this browser.
Pair a Bluetooth pedal with the device, or open Hands-free, choose a gesture and do the 5-second calibration.
Turn on half-page turns and margin cropping, mark D.S. and coda jumps, pencil in fingerings.
The screen stays on; the lock keeps a stray touch from turning pages while the pedal and gestures still work.
Put your sheet music on a screen and turn the pages without your hands
This browser does not allow saving the library (private window?) — the music stays only until the tab is closed.
The browser has not promised to keep the library if the device runs low on space. Keep the original files too.

🦶 Page turner pedals
- A Bluetooth page turner connects to a tablet or laptop as a keyboard, so it works here without any app: AirTurn, PageFlip, iRig BlueTurn and no-name pedals send ←/→, ↑/↓, Page Up/Page Down or Space/Enter, and all of these turn pages.
- A pedal in an unusual mode can be taught its keys in the Pedal panel of the reader.
- A pedal that «bounces» and sends two presses at once turns only one page: a second press within a quarter of a second is ignored (adjustable).
- No pedal? Tap the right third of the page for the next page and the left third for the previous one, or turn on hands-free turns with the front camera.
Write on the music with a finger, a mouse or a stylus. Once a stylus touches the screen, a resting palm no longer draws.
Pick a sign or type one, then tap the page where it goes.

Bookmarks
No bookmarks in this piece.
Repeat jumps
A button on the page that jumps to another page — for D.S., D.C. and codas. The pedal can follow it by itself on the chosen time through.
No jumps in this piece.
Turn your head toward the next page and back; the other way goes back a page. Good for pianists, guitarists and singers.
Pull the corner of your mouth toward the next page and relax; the other side goes back. Good for string players, whose head follows the bow.
Close one eye for a moment; the other eye goes back. A normal blink closes both eyes and turns nothing.
Open your mouth wide for a moment to go forward. Not for singers or wind players.
- The face model downloads once (about 4 MB) and runs right in the browser on this device.
- It needs your face lit from the front: a stand light behind you or a dark stage makes it miss. The green dot in the corner means it sees you.
- It takes processor time about 15 times a second, so an older tablet warms up and drains faster. Turn gestures off when a pedal is at hand.
Bluetooth pedals connect as a keyboard — pair it in the device settings, and it works here. These keys turn pages:
