Evidently he is - that's him, disguised as a bush; she walked straight past him.

Although timing and the graphic result all worked out, preparation of the parts for Brett's wedding music surprised me by how much time the end-game consumed . . . far 'hairier' an experience than the prep of the parts for (say) Out in the Sun.  And, as I am gearing up now to wrap up the ballet (I think I hear Allan chuckling, but then, one is pleased to incite some mirth in so fine a chap), the experience with the parts for the Opus 93 indicates that post-production of White Nights will be sixfold hairier.

This sober consideration has prompted me to take seriously, for the first time, a switch from Finale to Sibelius.

And what the demo for Sibelius shows me about the interface between parts and scores, looks very good indeed.  Honestly, it makes me wish I'd switched before work on the Opus 93.

For this weekend, though, it is still 'pre-compositional' refamiliarization with the project, and allowing the intuitive musical notions accumulate.

Well, and finding the sketches for Scene viii, which it will be about time soon to write out in proper scoring.

greg

So, you already have both Finale and Sibelius?

karlhenning

I'm awaiting delivery of Sibelius . . . .

wow, seriously?
you'll have to specifically tell me what the advantage is- what is it about the interface between the parts and scores? Is it just a much better, quicker, more efficient system?


karlhenning

Rest assured, I shall report.

A beautiful, neighborly thought, Johan!

Not yet, Nana has gone on vacation to Georgia, but she said it was done, but it needs to get from PAL to NTCS, and that will pose problems.
Pictures are also made, but as yet nothing came my way. Nana is simply to busy I guess.
But it will go your way, I promise.

karlhenning

No worries; I figured that it was a matter of Nana being busy. Dank je wel!

I'm still learning.  Good news is that a chum at the MFA has an extra copy he was sent of the big Sibelius manual.
