Hello Fred,

The time you invested in Funky Salsa really shows. Of the 120 hours you spent on this, how would you estimate that you divided your times between these three things:

(1) composing/arranging independently of actually getting the notes down on paper or getting the sound right in the MIDI file

(2) getting the notes visually into Composer (whether by playing or mousing them in), and correcting the as-notated rhythms, accidentals, etc; and adding annotations

(3) tweaking the MIDI performance

If you have a more interesting way to break down how you spent your time, then I'd be interested in hearing that.

Your work here demonstrates well the saying that "composing is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration". (But I hope Composer helps reduce the perspiration.)

Cheers
