The reader was extended to convert MIDI to music notation. https://hackaday.io/project/204595-midi-transcriber
Meanwhile, its biggest need has become an interface for exporting PNG images from a selection of pages. The PNG images have to be loaded in a tablet while recording.
./reader /reader/rach23.reader.gz -e rach 14 18
There was a command line hack which took an output prefix & a range of pages. Then after loading any file in the GUI, it would export the page range to PNG images.
Of course, such an exporter is a hack for the current apartment. There could be a way to always bring up the full reader display while recording, given enough space for a 4k monitor. To look good on camera, even a monitor would probably be taken down. The future might involve displaying PNG images on a phone because the tablet battery is not replaceable. That would look better on camera than the tablet or monitor.
The ultimate setup might be a visualizer composited in the space occupied by the current screens but the screens would still have to go.

For now, there is an image exporter GUI, but it requires a keyboard. It's only functional when compiled for a full PC.

The trackpad system has been pretty awful. Lions haven't bothered with many needed annotations because of it. 1366x768 is just too low for annotations. It's a hassle to stop playing & drag out the trackpad. The next hack might be to have it always go into zoom mode when drawing by default.
