What have you composed for? Or what medium do you work around?
Choir, Orchestra, Small Ensemble, Big Ensemble, Songs
"Just be warned that the free to try versions of any of the top notation programs have never included the sounds you get if you buy the software."
"Many people really like NotePerformer. I have heard some of my pieces realized with it and I'm not impressed. Everyone's idea of good sound is different. NP claims to playback your music with natural musical phrasing. Based on who's idea of natural…"
"I guess an example might be four part harmony in a hymnal. It can be played by a different insruments. Piano, organ choir, guitar accordion, brass, string orchestra, and any combination of the above. The instruments aren't specified. "
" Mitchell,
Very nice. Thanks for posting this. Here are some things I think about while composing.
Writing music is so much more than just having a good melody and/or accompaniment. It's also what you do with them, and more. Consider "Jaws". Two…"

"Rodney, This is your usual excellent work. Interestingly Methodist on one hand and....not on the other. As for the "rules"? There are so many that it is possible to sit at a desk and write acceptable music just following them. Without needing to…"
"Thanks, Michael.
The ending reflects that while the is indeed hope for the future, nothing is certain. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don't have a crystal ball, so things are a bit up in the air. Ina hopeful way, of course. I kind of working…"

"Great work here Bob. You were able to achieve a very high level of realism using those soundfonts."
"Bob,
This is very beautiful with a nice hopeful feel in the music."

"I did except for the horn. There is only a horn section in the default font. I used a solo horn from an updated version of SSO. Most of the rest of that font doesn't work well with MuseScore. SSO has problems itself in that MuseScore can't make some…"
"That's impressive. Are you using the standard soundfont? Bob Porter said:
For anyone interested, this was made entirely in MuseScore."

"Thanks Victor.
For anyone interested, this was made entirely in MuseScore. I've been playing with it in preparation for when Sibelius 7.5 doesn't work on my computer any more. I prefer Sibelius. I am limited to notation software. MuseScore has come…"

I see you're not entirely without hope for the future."

"Kevin,
Thanks for posting this. I think that you might consider remixing this as far as panning goes. Everything is on top of each other, and I can't make out what the instrument groups are. Maybe strings left and basses right. Other instruments in…"

"George,
My question is this: If you could write anything, not for sale, but just for you, what would it be? Something that didn't fit into a 2 minute format, or try to sell something. If you could write something that was music for it's own sake,…"

"Bob, Hi there....long time ay. I know exactly what you mean when you state, having to write it so it will play as you intend it to sound. That is not always easy. I liked this piece. It was suspenseful, and entertaining. It did seem to tell a…"
"Dane,
Sorry, I got interrupted. I think it possible that music paints a picture in your minds eye. I'm not sure we can divorce mood and emotions completely from what we envision. For me, Ashokan Farewell will forever be tied to Ken Burns' Civil War.…"
