1. I would need to be able to mark up the scores. It's not just that I need the notes and words but I also need to write in notes to myself about breathing, pronunciation, translation. And then of course there are operas where I also need to write in staging. Can I do that on an electronic score? Will I be able to do some of this in color? Can I highlight my part so I don't waste time in coachings looking for my next entrance. (I have also started writing in the next page number where I sing after the last word in a scene. Some scores already have that, but most don't.)
2. Will the editions be any good? Most scores of standard rep operas suck. Will these be the good scores or the ones that can be obtained cheaply? The cheap score will do in a pinch but for serious study and role prep, I would prefer to learn the correct words and notes and rhythms.
