No problem. I just need to work out how to add the arpeggio notation in Lilypond. That shouldn't be too difficult. I recently printed out the notation for a string section for something else I'm working on in Rosegarden, and it looks beautiful. Only issue there, which isn't a big deal, is that it seems like Rosegarden only allows me to specify a key signature of major or minor. Is that the case? What I'm working on (like the piece I posted about before) is in D harmonic minor. Would it be possible to change it to where I can just add the sharps or flats to the signature myself? In this instance, I could just make C a sharp and I'm done. Again, this is something I can tweak with Lilypond, though. I do need to learn to use that. > In practice, I haven't found the time, because I never bother to tweak > the MIDI performance to that degree anymore.

A pianist can also arpeggiate, though. Any instrument that can play a chord is usually able to render an arpeggio. I, too, record real guitar when I'm adding that. But at the same time, it's really not urgent enough to mess with it, either. If I ever learn to code better, though, I might take a look at it myself, if that would be cool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
