Markup is still klutzy compared to the old graphite pencil.

Big win is the lighted screen. No more adjusting lamps to light up the printed pages, which never lie flat, even in 3-rings.

In a Grieg mood, try The Last Spring, Wedding day at Troldhaugen, lyric pieces, Peer Gynt Suite, "I Love Thee", (very nice), Holberg Suite, and the Piano Concerto. and LOTS MORE.

I just saw some photos and I'll have to see it, I guess!
