Karlin,
We aren’t using SVG. We are using PNG files generated by LilyPond. Rather than
scale the images, we generate them specifically for tablet sizes. The Android
tablet eBooks are sized differently than the iPad eBooks because of the
different aspect ratios of the devices. You can see that if you compare the
same score on Amazon and on iTunes.
We also build scores for our Android application, ScoreMaestro. The eBooks we
have produced are a subset of our ScoreMaestro inventory. If you have an
Android tablet, you can download ScoreMaestro (it’s free) from either Amazon or
Google Play depending on whether your tablet is a Kindle Fire or another
Android tablet. Once you download the app, you can download a score free to try
it out from within the application.
ScoreMaestro (see http://www.scoremaestro.com for more details) is a complete
score management application. You can display scores in two sizes and in either
portrait or landscape mode. Score pages are rendered to fit the
size/orientation combination. One advantage of ScoreMaestro over our eBooks is
that you can annotate your ScoreMaestro scores. These annotations can also be
shared, for example with other members of a choir.
Let me know if you have other questions.
