Hi Scott,
I understand that the "half page turn" function that I referred to is a mode where when you touch the screen, the screen advances only 1/2 page so that you can always see not only your current place but the next 1/2 page of music.
Ahhhh . . . . right. You're refering to the MusicPad Pro's 'look ahead' page function. I tried it and it's definitely useful when you want to see the bottom half of one page and the top half of the next page concurrently. So far, at least for me, I find it more useful when annotating & editing the score during rehearsal than for use it when actually reading & playing the music.

Optional Footswitch 'page turn' activation is possible. I believe you can even use a generic footpedal. You can program the footswitch activation 'page turn' order to follow repeats and codas. Since I'm using the MPPP primarily for single or double paged lead sheets, I find the direct finger tap page turning approach more flexibile in allowing you to go back and forth (at will) between different song pages. The primary advantage of the footswitch is for music which contains a number of different repeats and returns, and to/from entirely different sections (pages) in the music, and then having it jump from like page 3 to 7 to get to the coda.
