Question

Is the technology out there to have a video out from the arranger over to a flat panel monitor in front of another musician - and have the chords of a tune highlighted as they go by - like karaoke?

Are there ways (software) to write your own charts with chord symbols that can be stored in the hard drive and played back with the same method? Are the REAL books or parts of them available like that? - Sure would be nice to be able to edit them while on the arranger also.

My goal is for another musician to have something to refer to if he/she loses their place in a tune - besides discreetly asking me where we are. I think it might help them memorize songs also - giving them an opportunity to take their eyes off the chart a bit more with confidence - knowing they can look up anytime and find their place.
