I set up dropbox and just sync all my work from my PC (which I do my
LP work on) to my dropbox app on my iPad. Then if I need to, when
showing others the music I have done, scribble notes and shapes and
make annotations etc. (and can email them all from your iPad if
necessary) using Good Reader which is what I use for my main PDF
viewing - of which I have a lot of non-music related.

It also means that with Dropbox any annotations can bet synced back or
if I am really keen, I can work directly on the .ly files in Good
Reader (although of course I cannot compile them) but it does mean I
can do comments in the file themselves which, again, sync back with
DropBox.
