Professional collaborative pianist here.

This is very inspiring; congratulations! I’m sure there will be performance gains along the way, but upload time will be critical to optimize for in professional settings. Even forScore on the iPad is sometimes too slow. I was performing the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations not long ago with a cellist; and the seventh variation flies by at such a breakneck tempo that I had to use the half page turn trick to make it work.

The other thing that pianists in particular are picky about are editions. At least 95+% of the scores on my iPad are straight-up pdf scans of particular print editions. In terms of workflow, I would think that it has to ingest pdf for it to be viable for working musicians.

All that said, in chamber music settings, I can imagine the freedom to visually engage with your partners could be very compelling! Good luck with your next steps.
