[Pi Digital]

Hi Klaus
Get something like this.

A usb footswitch will work like a mouse but with a different signature. The hub will be picked up via the tablet in a LiveCode app through the usual Bluetooth lib. Once it’s in you need to connect to the usb port from the hub and listen for messages. 

There are also these which work even better with built in BT - designed for RaspPi

All the best buddy.

>> I'm not sure if it is supported on Android, but on an apple ipad, it supports pdf display, foot switch (pager) and even has an addon for displaying realbook scores in different keys. It's very popular among concert musicians as well. Personally, I bought a large screen ipad that displays the scores at full page size and supports apple pencil annotating of scores. It's main drawback is the documentation for the app was written by the programmer and it's pretty unclear. I love the app anyway, though.
>> Downside is that the ipad is expensive, but sure makes keeping track of music a lot easier.
