One that can be moved from one instrument to another. >> I recently enjoyed a science fiction story involving computerized music stands - Roll Over Vivaldi by Stephen L. Burns (Analog Science Fiction and Fact, February 1998 issue). In this story, a string trio toured various obscure planets. Their music stands contained extensive computerized music libraries, updated periodically by modem. Each displayed the appropriate part and one could be designated as the master or leader. The technology exists to do this now, although I think it will be a few years before this sort of thing will be affordable for most of us. Pat Wilbur, Associate PTG Fort Worth, TX
