My piano teacher lent me some books that are very old and expensive. My piano has a little dip down that holds the music, but when I turn the page, the bottom of the page drags along the top of the dip and folds/ripples the page. I don't want to damage these books, so how would I fix this?

Use Technology! Scan it and load it into a tablet like the new iPad 3! Place the tablet on the dip in your piano... and lo, u can just tap to turn! |

If you could make photocopies of the pieces you need without damaging the books (the spine, most likely), that would probably be best. |

There are also music book clips you can buy. Here is an example of one from Amazon.com music book clip |

My dad improvised a shelf-extension for my piano with a bent sheet of aluminum. You could make one with a slight rise at the edge instead of a lip. Cost of materials is quite low, but an aluminum bender is a very large and pricey tool. |
