That is not a bad habit for someone who wants to see the fretboard
and the music at the same time. It renders you more visible to
an audience if you perform with a stand. Presti and Lagoya used very low
cut-down music stands. It's not good for posture. It's not good for
watching a conductor. It certainly is not "wrong" either, although
clearly it is not right for you. It's a choice. Regards, daveA
