but I'd still like to add that I also hate it when pianists give little to no credit to page turners. As someone who knows how hard it can be to not just properly read sheet music, but the "little" things that can go awfully wrong when turning a score's pages,

I really, really hate being asked to turn pages, and before COVID it happened a lot, especially with organists. The pressure is immense, and even though I'm following along (not always easy with one of those multistaff organ scores) I never know for sure. His head is bobbing, did he nod? Did he forget to nod and I need to turn now? Oh crap, he needed one more measure.
There's really no need, with scanned music and a Bluetooth page turn. I am just moving that direction myself, bought a Chromebook to run MobileSheets and an Airturn.
I did sit behind the pianist doing accompaniment for a special choral presentation in a church. She didn't have a page turner, and at one point while reaching to turn she accidentally knocked the score off the piano. She continued playing with one hand, caught the score with the other just before it landed, and snapped it back up without a single break in the rhythm. Impressive - but nobody even noticed!
