A couple of weeks ago we organized a little piano concert as my girlfriend is a pretty solid piano player! As you might know, a piano player playing long pieces needs the pages to be turned, so I quickly developed a little webapp to turn them from distance (didn’t want to miss the show)!
The app is made of two parts:
- a simple view where it just shows the current music sheet, showing 2 pages at a time and a little preview of the next, and you can turn pages by clicking or using arrow keys
- a controls page to be used on another device that lets you control the main one via a very basic backend
The app can also handle multiple musical sheets and you can switch between them from the control page or using the mouse scroll wheel.
Here’s a small video showing the prototype:
