Some really basic audio recognition should enable the software to figure out the current position on the sheet, hence making it useful for experienced players as well.

Do this. Would also be useful for beginners who make mistakes and often need to repeat portions.

The audio recognition bit is indeed basic - all you need to figure out is the note and possibly the length of the note.

The following part hard is a bit harder, but not impossible - compare what you have recognized with what you was expecting. If it's not what you expected, look around the last known position and see if you can find the pattern you recognized (while taking repeat signs etc. into consideration).

you don't have to follow it in perfect-realtime, you could totally mimic a human page-turner who flips the page at about the right time.
