    Abstract: A collapsible device that can be quickly and easily mounted to certain types of music stands to allow viewing of up to six sheets of paper side by side. The device consists principally of four panel sections, two of which, in the expanded position, hang from the top horizontal edge of the music stand via lips provided for this purpose. Two lower panels, each attached via hinge to the upper panel directly above it, also include lip features at the bottom of the device for holding the sheets of paper. In the expanded position, the four panels cover and extend the viewable plane of the stand. The device can be folded on two perpendicular axes for compact storage and transport. Usable width combined with ease of transport and deployment differentiate the device from prior art, allowing the device to be treated as part of a musician's personal gear.
