    Here's a question: I like the way the ToneBase instructors are able to display the score intermittently within their performances and presentations. Dominic seems to be able to do it in real time, i.e. the Screen displays his circling of an item or writing in fingering, while he is actually doing it.  I'd like my recorded videos to be able to display the score from time to time.  So, my Q is:  How do you do that? thank you!

    This is right on target for me at this time. I'm sure I need to try it in real time to see how to transition. But I don't know where to start. I don't want to purchase an ipad for this if it doesn't work for me.

      NANCY M Nancy, give me a call to chat about iPads.  I've been using mine for forScore and IMSLP for ages and I couldn't live without it.

    I wonder if Dominic is using OBS to display the score. I’d

    like to learn how to do that too.
