What?! I am just a local jazz musician, yet I constantly get at least 2-3 original compositions to solo on every week. There is no way to get charts before hand. Even though we repeat performing the same song next week, I don't have time to memorize the changes. Besides, most of the times it is more fun to solo on site reading :-) -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
