Hi, Tim:

I know Composer can do it: I used the betas of Composer 1.0 to develop orchestrations for a musical of mine for 23 pieces and a big cast. It did the job. Now that we're approaching 2.0, I'm sure it'll handle it even better.

I'd think you'd be stuck with renting orchestrations for Aspects Of Love. Another local company hired me to do what exactly what you've been doing for their production of The Secret Garden. I created an audio CD from the score for them to sing to, although The Secret Garden was a tough show to "karaoke". I suspect Aspects Of Love would be more so.

Our current show is simplicity itself in comparison: 6 actors, 1 pianist, 30-some rag-time and blues numbers -- with arrangements done in Composer, of course!

Keep us informed on how it goes.

David
