Hi Martin,

As Maximiliano suggests, Inscore, which I tried a bit in the past, is a 
good solution that will even allow you to generate (not too complex) 
scores on-the-fly.

Personnally I would go for the following scenario : Pd talking to a 
Node.js application via OSC (UDP), and the Node application serving 
various web pages that could be updated by websockets from Node. Each 
interpret would have his own web page, visible from any kind of device.
I've used IRCAM's soundworks framework (based on Node.js and express) to 
achieve similar setups successfully, but you might not need all its 
complexity and would probably prefer to write your own program from scratch.
The cool thing is that you have the osc.js library for node which is 
quite easy to use and abstracts the websocket layer.
The bad thing is that you need to be familiar with all those web 
technologies, so my answer might not help a lot depending on your skills.

Joseph
