What does everyone else use for turning pages when reading?

I'm one for learning the songs & if it's a song that you have difficulty with, then write the chords down & you might find it ample.

My valet does my page-turning. He also makes a spiffing Gin Fizz.

My music stand covers about 4 pages easily and five at a push. If it goes above that, it is usually a piece with gaps in so its a case of waiting until the gap, dumping the parts that have passed, moving the other parts and then carrying on with the rest. But 6 page parts are VERY rare in my little universe.

Am I the only one who as developed the skill of continuing to play with my left hand hammering notes whilst my right hand turns the page? A lot of bass charts have long notes and this is not as clever as it sounds. It is also important to make representations to whoever transcribes the parts and say that a turn there is difficult and can they redraft the chart so the turn is somewhere else. It's an occupational hazard and the solutions are many and varied depending on tempo, the nature of the lines etc.

I've tried this and just can't get it to work smoothly enough - most of my charts are walking 4 in a bar lines and unless the tempo is really slow I find I just don't have time to flip a page and not drop a note/beat or two !
And some of them have a DC or coda that jumps back/forward 3-4 pages, so taping together works best for me - until i can transfer everything to the ipad and get the bluetooth page turner that is... :-)
