Undubitably, from a statistical point of view, the vast majority of the composers between 1650 and now did prefer pencil and paper... :-)
More seriously: pen is a tool, rather simple; computer is a tool, a little more complicated. I think it is very good (or necessary?) to be able to compose only with pen (and rubber, sometimes). Bernard 2007/6/20, Rob Deemer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The request for new topics plus the fact that there's a Mythbusters marathon going on got me thinking about confirming or busting a notation myth. I've heard many composers state that composing/arranging on paper with pencil is not only preferable but artistically "better" than composing directly into a computer notation application. What are your thoughts?
