That said, it's something you have to do and to make this easier (and lighter) estimate the length of the gig and pick tunes to cover the time and add extras for security. You may need several sets of folders to cover different gigs and most music stores are glad to give them to you. I'm not a fan of the electronic items some are using now. For my old eyes they are too small and only good under the correct lighting conditions which usually are found only in your practice room.

I used to think so too, but I tried out one of the recent ipad Pro's (the big screen model) and found it to be far more readable than conventional sheet music. Something about the backlighting makes it much easier on the eyes to the point I can get by without the normal music reading glasses I have to wear with paper. A real game changer for me.
