[Philip Aker:]
If you had wanted to be able to express music via the computer
medium you would already have purchased, made use of, and become
an expert with a notation and/or music application not long
after you made your first appearance on this list. If I recall
correctly, that would have been two or three years ago. But you
have not done so.
[My reply:]
Yes, it's been a couple of years. I see what you mean, although things may
not always be what they appear to be. There are reasons, personal reasons in my
own life, that have severely held up my doing things you would have expected me
to do long since. (It hardly seems necessary to go into that on the list.)
When I can sort out these problems is another matter; but I at least have
to think of that as an objective. If I can get organized, then I can see no
reason why I could not do work as an engraver, provided I can find the work. I
have a thorough knowledge of music notation and music theory, and if my computer
knowledge does have some holes in it, I see no reason why I could not learn to
be competent on music notation software.
[Philip:]
I think it's best to be in a medium where your heart is already at.
[Myself:]
What kind of medium do you mean?
As I indicated in another posting, I think one or two people got composing
and engraving confused, because the two often go together. But I was talking
about engraving music other than my own as a source of income - not as a
creative outlet my heart would be set on. *Composing* would be *only* that to
me, and not a source of income (which would be an unexpected bonus if it came to
me).
Regards,
Michael Edwards.
