Searching for a sheet music reader in the Windows store turns up nothing useful, so I dug through the many PDF annotation tools. Annotation tools are weak and line rendering is poor. Note - not a Windows Store app - a legit download an exe and install it program. Yes, Music Reader still exists as a Windows program. So, while it makes a fine reader, it wouldn't work as my only solution. It supports reading bookmarks, but can't create new ones, nor can you rearrange pages within a PDF with it. It's fast, keeps multiple files open at once in tabs, and works well with the pen - pick and write. Windows Reader is actually a great reader. I quickly switched off to Windows Reader for the rest of that gig and resumed my quest for a good Windows based reader.

Luckily, it was a section I knew well enough to get through without music. No amount of turning back and forth would clear whatever spot got stuck and I was caught with part of a piece not visible in performance. In performance, with several large files open (our trio gigs out of several Last Resort volumes to cover standard wedding requests and I need to be able to switch between them quickly) rendering errors started to pop up where it would turn the page but leave a chunk of the old page up. Note - Drawboard is still one of the best PDF annotation apps in the Store, but they are specifically specializing towards the drafting market, making it less flexible for music reading. It worked well enough in practice so I gave it a go at a gig and it fell flat, big time. Sadly, continuous view scrolls only a few pixels at a time with the foot pedal limiting me to single page view only. I started with Drawboard because it's one of the best PDF annotation apps in the Windows Store. PDF manipulation - specifically the ability to rearrange pages.Works with AirTurn pedal to turn pages (usually that just means accepting PgUP/PgDN or arrow keys).Good annotation tools with no separate edit mode, pick up the pen and draw.My list of needs when it comes to reading sheet music on a tablet:
