Write notes short, put a line break after each one. When reading, use the
rotor to read by lines, then flicking down will read note by note.
Use song title as first line, do a double line break like a paragraph break
there, before writing the notes themselves. This will for the title of the
note so you can find the song again easily.

Subject: Best way to read notes to myself in chunks?
Hi list,
That's a terrible subject, and I'm afraid my question will be equally
confusing. I'm going to give it a try though, so stick with me. Here goes.
I'm playing some music (I'm on bass) and I need to write down the set list,
keys and where they change, and notes to myself. For instance, I need to
remind myself that on this song I kick it off by sliding to a low F, or
there's a rest at the end of the third chorus where *everyone* is silent. I
also need the actual bass notes for some of them, but others I know well
enough that the key and any voicing/structure instructions are enough.
I tried using a slate and stylus, but any change the director makes forces
me to rewrite the whole page, plus I can't fit things how I want to. I don't
have a real brailler, or access to an embosser, and even if I did, we're
back to the point about changes. My current plan is to write all this
information on my phone, so I can just select the next song and read through
my notes. Each song can't have just one big block of text, though, and
that's where, at long last, we arrive at my question.
I want to be able to find the next song in my list, and open it. I want to
then see a list of individual notes, so I can swipe left or right to move
from note to note. For instance, a song opens up and the first item is
"start by sliding to low F". Swiping right once reads the notes for the
intro, and another swipe the notes for the first verse, and so on. There's
too much to try to listen to everything at once, so I need to break it down
into smaller pieces I can look at one at a time, and can repeat if
necessary. For anyone wondering, no, I don't have a braille display.
There's my question. Is there a way to write text, then have an app present
it in such a way that I can flick between paragraphs in that text, like how
a webpage works? I really hope I'm making some kind of sense; let me know if
I can clarify anything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has.
