Thank you everyone, all those solutions are really promising. I hadn't tried the features of canvas, so I will try that first; I'm really glad to learn about Inscore, which I'd not heard of before and which seems really interesting for a lot of my projects; the node.js also offers some appreciable advantages for this particular project, so I will check that out too.
Many thanks, everyone. Much appreciated!

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.

I'll be brief.
I need to be able to display musical performance instructions to several performers at once (each with their own laptop, say) in an easy to deploy and reasonably robust way. Text only, or static images only, or both
would
be acceptable. It would be bonus to be able to move the text around the screen, too.
Any suggestions that do not involve Gem?
Thanks,
