My first Arrangement
Here's my first shot at making an arrangement. Feedback is welcome.

Re: My first Arrangement
Howdy,
Wow - that's some first arrangement! I'm thinking it must be the first one you did with Composer, not the first one you've ever done From what I'm hearing, this should work well as a band arrangement. I'd be interested to hear a bit more background about the band and what you're doing with them. When I switched to Page view, I noticed that the individual parts all scored nicely, but the conductor's score was "squished" at the top. It looked like the staves had all been shifted to where they overlapped with the heading text. I just clicked on the Layout tab, then Page layout, and 'grabbed' the red square in the middle of the top staff. I then dragged the whole notation portion of the score down so it wasn't overlapping the heading text anymore. It all looks great - you did a really nice job with this! I don't play any of these instruments, so I'll leave it to others to comment about playability and such. But if I were sitting in the stands (eg. for a half-time show at a football game), I think I'd really enjoy this performance ttfn, Sherry

I'm still making minor changes for tempo and volumes and such. You may have noticed the flute and Piccolo are way too loud compared to the trombones and horns, but I'm tweaking them. |

Re: My first Arrangement
Howdy,
Re. the score for transposing instruments: you can choose to show either concert pitch (which is what you have right now) or the Instrument Transposed pitches for the conductor's score and/or the individual instrument parts. In either the Staff or Format menu, you can select to show Concert or Instrument transposed pitches. For sound balance, it's sometimes very dependent on the particular MIDI playback device that one uses. For instance, my default playback device is an SB Audigy 2 soundcard that I have loaded with soundfonts. When I played the song, the flute sounded fine, but the saxes were really low. It may be instructive to let folks know what device you're using, so we can understand where any differences in dynamic nuances may arise with our own favorite playback device. If you're using something like the GS Wavetable, then folks can use that (it's standard on Windows computers) to get a better idea of the relative instrument balance. Or if you're not, we'll know why it sounds different Keep up the great work! I'll be looking forward to hearing more ttfn, Sherry

I opened the Quick MIDI Device Setup and changed it from the GS Wavetable to SB Audigy 2ZS Synth A. I did that for the other editor I have, but forgot for this one, thanks for reminding me. Sounds much better.
