Out of This World

[Sherry C]

Howdy Ralph,

Not only is it always a treat to hear your arrangements, but I for one really appreciate the time you take to annotate the score. I learn a lot by comparing (especially now that you're using various performance effects ) the annotations in the score with the performance I'm hearing as it goes along (I have aspirations to someday find time enough to play in our local big band). Great job, and thanks!

In scoring on paper, these notes would be within a set of parentheses to indicate a "swallow", but I don't think Notation has a means for me to show this.

You can use Free Text, enter a left parenthesis, two spaces, and a right parenthesis. I then find it easiest to click outside the box, then select the parentheses so the red "grab" handle shows up, and then position the parentheses around the note you want to "swallow." I've written it up to make this easier (task 2350).

ttfn,
Sherry
