Thanks very much for the feedback, Joanne.
The Choralex Compact’s curved right pocket is attached at the expanding side and at the base, so loose sheets can shift inward if they’re tucked there. Since the folder is designed to hold music securely using the optional 3‑ring adaptor (if you use hole‑punched scores) and the included cords (10, or an optional 20 if you prefer), you don’t need to rely on that side pocket for extra pages. All of your music can be fastened within the folder so nothing moves around.
If you prefer pockets that fully enclose loose sheets, our Deluxe and Standard Black Folders have three‑sided, pleated pockets. They’re a bit larger and slightly heavier because of that construction, but they prevent the sliding you described.
The Choralex was designed to prioritize light weight, durability, and the essential features singers need in performance, and your feedback helps everyone here, researching the best choice of folder for their needs.
“i was searching for a music folder that would hold pamphlet style and single sheets, as well and couldn't find any until I came across this wonderful folder! it also has a strap on the outside to make it easier to hold while standing and singing! Very pleased with this purchase.”
“These folders are as described. They arrived quickly, which was great to have them for the start of school. They were also a cheaper price than I could find elsewhere!”
“My High School String Orchestra has been using the Small Orchestra Music Folder for many years and I plan to continue as long as it is available! The product is durable and well designed.”
Thanks kindly! Fun fact: the Small Band & Orchestra Folder you’re using is actually the same body we use for our flagship Deluxe Black Folder. Because it’s also designed to be held in the hand and withstand constant use, it has an exceptionally durable spine -- a design we now use across all similar folders, including our larger Band & Orchestra models.
