GUEST,Chord Chucker Reading sheet music with poor eyesight (27) RE: Reading sheet music with poor eyesight 13 Apr 12


I have a couple admittedly quirky things that I do--

First--Cheap reading glasses come in various magnitudes, 2.5x works well for reading music, so I pop them on over my regular glasses. Another power works better for reading, and a third for the computer, so I switch them off. I know, it looks funny, but it solves the problem.

Second--I figured out how to use my 3-in-one printer/scanner/copier to make pdf docs of sheet music files,which I then view, and magnify, on my laptop.

Third--I hooked up an old 35" HDTV to the external monitor output on my laptop, and I can now read those sheet music pdfs from anywhere in the room. Makes it easy for several people to read off the same part!
