I set up dropbox and just sync all my work from my PC (which I do my LP work on) to my dropbox app on my iPad. Then if I need to, when showing others the music I have done, scribble notes and shapes and make annotations etc. (and can email them all from your iPad if necessary) using Good Reader which is what I use for my main PDF viewing - of which I have a lot of non-music related. It also means that with Dropbox any annotations can bet synced back or if I am really keen, I can work directly on the .ly files in Good Reader (although of course I cannot compile them) but it does mean I can do comments in the file themselves which, again, sync back with DropBox. -- -- James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
