It was a bit of a learning curve - I used "mobile sheets" on an android tablet for one of the most affordable ways to "go digital". Got through one concert last month. I still miss seeing two pages open in front of me. Yes, I could look in landscape mode, but then everything is soooo tiny!

To get to the point, my other choir has an upcoming concert. (https://hinsdalechorale.org/) After warm-ups last night, I opened the tablet to get a message that the SD card was corrupted and all of my music was lost! Luckily, the choir manager had an emergency folder, but all of my markings on the music are gone.

Ugh. I had gotten pop-ups to back up the library, but I wasn't sure how to do that.. now I do! Downloaded the PDFs again and only use an SD for the backup now. Luckily I know the music well and can get along without much of the markings on the music. So much of my early markings are notations of where to find my next pitch during a rest - I don't need those anymore. I do highlight my line - that's one of the benefits along with the backlight in darker places to help me see the music.

Lesson learned. Back up digital information!
