I got a free little midi keyboard someone tossed in the ewaste at work, and it seems to work with my linux tablet using chordcat flatpak.
I would like to be able to play along with some sheet music, I took piano in high-school but feels like starting from scratch.

I have been looking for some software to be able to open up sheet music I find and then just play along with it, with an easy way to scroll or turn pages or even detect the midi input from the keyboard. so far I installed musescore which doesnt really seem to be what I want as far as reading music from other people?

and found midiano.com which seems like what I want but unsure if there is anything better?

    Honestly if you get a book that’s meant for learning sheet music and playing along, that’s your best bet. That’s how I learned to read sheets, though I was a kid.

    As for something that turns the pages for you while you play depending on what you’re playing as far as I know it doesn’t exist. Printing out pages and learning to turn them as you play will be easier, or if you have a large monitor you can display multiple pages of PDFs at once at a readable size.

      Do you just print out music and like put it in a 3 ring binder? Or is there a better way to keep it together and make it easier to flip through?

        3 ring binder is a great idea. I always just left them as loose sheets myself though. If your piece is 2-4 pages long, you can arrange them all to be visible from the start. For longer stuff turning pages is just one of those annoying things you deal with as a pianist ;)

        I also prefer them to be in loose sheets. If you like to keep things more organized you can put them in transparent sleeves in a binder to take them out, though. Experiment, see what you prefer. Worst case you waste a few sheets of paper reprinting single sided instead of double sided (or vice versa)
