Naaah. That's old technology. New technology will power a backlit music stand for hours, recharge as needed -- maybe from the SPL of the music itself. :) In any case, the librarian will recharge stands overnight while downloading the scores and corrections. Light pen or pressure technology will take care of scribbling on the pages as needed. Quick cuts can happen from a touch menu down the side. Scores can be cut, trimmed, or reordered by the librarian ahead of time. Bowing marks on the concertleader's score appear on all the strings, and likewise, swapping parts can allow the concertleader to make marks on all parts. Want to rehearse? Pop in a card (like one of the flashpix cards), download, and take the music with you to rehearse at home (it expires, just like some of the new downloadable recordings on line). Insert the card when you get back, and upload your notes. Corrections and other changes noted by players can be forwarded to the composer. Heck, I've been dreaming of these networked music stands from heaven for years! That pop guys whatsisname came up with something, but it really isn't close in terms of real flexibility, which needs touch, pen, etc., to be effective.
