Abstract
Systems for automated page turning allow users, for example musicians, to review successive pages of data, such as sheet music, and homologues, without use of their hands. Mechanical and electronic solutions enable users to actuate controllers and have pages turned in an automated fashion, including moving forward and backward to capture desired views of select aspect of the involved data, such as a particular page of music.

- or reversing the actuation step.
An automatic page turning device for musical applications, comprising, in combination:
- at least a command input device;
- a page flipping mechanism;
- and
- means for operatively linking the at least a command input device with the page flipping mechanism.
An electronic page turning system, comprising, in combination:
- a scanned array of data;
- and
