Let me address the mentioned issues with MobileSheets:

- file/folder organization:
That's exactly what I do myself. I use Unison to sync between between my 
sheetmusic display device and my lilypond machine (if you don't have 
them separate, this can be ignored). Having to manually import new PDFs 
is somewhat tedious but since I also tag the files I have to deal with 
them sooner or later anyway. However I agree, I'd love an automation for 
that and had asked for it in the support forum a couple of years ago.

- no more than 2 pages display:
I'm not aware you can display more than 2 pages. What I find interesting 
from a performance point of view is, that you can connect external 
controllers (foot switches etc.) to do the page flipping forwards and 
backwards. For me that removes the need to have more than 2 pages 
displayed. Especially since the scrolling of pages during flipping is 
smooth (enough) to my eyes.

Kind regards,
Michael
