<story><title>Show HN: I finally released that sheet music app I keep yammering about</title><url>http://etudeapp.com</url></story><parent_chain><item><author>vaporstun</author><text>I&apos;m really excited about the iPad app. Imagine sitting down at a piano, putting a iPad where you would normally put sheet music, and playing away with your app auto-scrolling so the musician never has to deal with a page turn. Anyone who has ever played piano knows how amazing it would be to have that eliminated. What a great learning device that would be!&lt;p&gt;Kudos and I eagerly await the iPad version!</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>noonespecial</author><text>That&apos;s one of the first thing I though of when I heard about the ipad. I had figured an app for the iphone that used its mic to follow a piano piece along and &quot;turn&quot; the pages would have been cool but for the tiny screen. Then ipad came along.&lt;p&gt;How hard would it be to use the mic input to estimate progress through a piece and turn the pages? Of course just using timing to scroll at the right speed would be ok, but having it listen would be much cooler.</text></comment>

B) Approach whoever owns rights to sheet music, music lessons, etc
C) Allow them to sell premium content through your app and you take 50% of the profits</text></comment>
