OK. I'll give it a try next time out. Being the master of jazz textures, you might appreciate my latest arrangement -- (Every Time We Say Goodbye) -- where we wanted to take advantage of the bari sax player also being an alto flute double. So that chart is 2 C flutes, alto flute and 2 clarinets plus the normal brass mostly in mutes. (The chart wasn't 100% successful. I may still give it another revision, but the textures are cool.)
This chart didn't have any instrument changes, but that band likes to use bass clarinet instead of bari and lots of combinations of saxes, flutes, and clarinets. So I'll have good opportunities to use this feature. And if the feature works that well, I might do more instrument changes. That keeps the players more engaged, and the audience is really captured by the doubling, especially in the front line (the sax section.) They haven't let me play cimbasso yet. :) On 4/6/2015 12:27 AM, Darcy James Argue wrote: > Hi Craig, > > You should certainly be using the Change Instrument feature.
