Hi friends,

Since Ralph's pieces are enjoying such great success, I thought I'd post a few pieces here.

My Mom is learning to play guitar, and is just starting out with some very basic single-string exercises. I'm helping her out a bit by entering her music into Notation Composer so she can hear what the song should sound like, as well as have some fingering "helps" til the notation starts to connect a bit better with her fingers for her.

With that in mind, I've done a bit of "cheating" :) In these files, the note pitch names are displayed (Format/Display pitches in noteheads). I've also added the string and fret numbers beneath the notes as lyrics. So "3-2" would mean "third string, second fret." Since they're entered as Lyrics, they can be easily displayed or hidden using the "eyeglasses" button in the Lyric palette toolbar.

Here's an oldie-but-goodie - Red River Valley.

Enjoy!

Hi friends,

This is a bit unrelated, but our good friends at Courthouse Dogs are relocating to a new website - http://www.courthousedogs.org

If you'd like to learn more about a great mission that is co-headed by Mark Walsen's wonderful wife Celeste Walsen, please give them a visit. If you don't get to the new website, you can still visit the old one at http://www.courthousedogs.com

Enjoy!
Sherry
