Default Howdy Kombrig, Re. the enha

Howdy Kombrig,

Re. the enharmonic spelling bit, did you see this tip in the User's Guide:
---------------
When you change the pitches of notes, we recommend that you let Composer make a first guess at the spelling. For example, If you want to raise the pitch of a note by a half-step, then select the note and hit the (P+ Up Arrow) keys, Try this instead of, for example, dragging the note to the staff position above and explicitly inserting a flat accidental. Why? If you explicitly add the flat accidental, Composer will rigidly preserve that spelling of the note with a flat accidental. Even if you radically change the surrounding notes to sharps, this note will continue to be spelled with a flat, probably incorrectly, rather than with a sharp at the next lower staff line.
--------------

If you do want to absolutely change the enharmonic spelling, then (1) select the note and (2) use the "E + up/down arrow key" to change the enharmonic spelling.

And for the mp3s, we've had it as our practice here that we reserve the forum for .mid and .not versions of files, with links to where the forum participant might have an mp3 of a recording of the song. So, along with your .not files that you've been posting, you could add the link to the mp3 of the song as you've recorded it. If you want to post your mp3 files at a different location, there are a number of sites that will host them for free.

You can see the thread here for some places that will host mp3 files and what their conditions might be. I personally have a page at SoundClick (www.soundclick.com/beanfield_castle) that I've been quite happy with, and folks have reported easy access and easy download of the files.

So keep bringing on the music - we're loving it!

ttfn,
Sherry
