"Definitely another must listen for me when I have time (in addition to your Apollinaire settings), as I was very impressed with this work in its previous incarnation. Unfortunately I am still in the process of moving, so it might be a few days…"

"Obviously the tiny number of people still participating here either haven't seen this or didn't like it. But anyway, the VSL solo strings are now complete and I wasted no time in updating and revising this work which definitely now has a more…"

A few years ago I did a setting of the Apollinaire poem "Le Suicidé" in the Russian translation used by Shostakovich in his 14th symphony. I then decided to add another two of his poems to make a set. There is certainly an influence of the Russian…

Liz Atems replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion my new Beethoven realisation - a delightful piano concerto Rondo
"Thanks Gerd. That's an interesting-looking site, and appears fairly comprehensive. Neat to know that they're still discovering incomplete sketches of works by the Master.

I think I've written here that I've been "porting" all of my scores over to Dorico from Sibelius as I intend to cancel my Sibelius Ultimate subscription next year when it comes up for renewal in February. I also purchased a copy of the Vienna…

"Thanks Gerd, I did enjoy this, even though it is audibly fragmentary, as you indicated. What is this site (by domain apparently Italian) where you find these sketches?"

Liz Atems replied to Liz Atems's discussion String Quartet No. 1
"I think I have the lengths of the fermatas / caesuras just right now. They're minimal now at letters D and E, and reduced at letters M and P. I also got rid of the 1st violin's worst bloopers (before letter K) by adding demisemiquaver rests at two…"

Liz Atems replied to Liz Atems's discussion String Quartet No. 1
"So I tried this in my quartet, and it definitely gives a different timbre to the string sound - different both from straight NP synth solo instruments, and the string section with CC 104,1 to reduce the section size, which interestingly is NOT any…"

"Thanks Stephen, I see what you mean now. I had used that dialog before but never followed through the Choose... menu to see if it gave you any new instrument choices. That's very interesting! If that actually gives you a realistic single section…"

"In the Instruments Section of the Ribbon, you see a little icon (a box with a little arrow that points down and to the right) at the bottom right. That takes you to Edit Instruments dialog. I forgot you were on a Mac, so it might be a little…"

Liz Atems replied to Liz Atems's discussion String Quartet No. 1
"Sorry Stephen, but the steps you say you use don't correspond to anything that's available in my version of Sibelius (Ultimate). There's no Edit Instrument button or menu item. There's a Change button, for changing an instrument to a different one,…"

"You don't have to set up a CC code. In Sibelus, go to Instruments->Edit Instruments. Choose your string instrument, violin (solo) or in a string quartet, just violin I. Click Edit instrument, best sound…"

  • Oh, and please welcome our new members, if you have a chance.
  • I've allowed a few new prospective members through. If you should observe signs of bother, abuse, or any other matter that arouses suspicion, please advise me promptly.. Thanks all.
  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
