Re: QWS List Looping between markers?

[Seth Lowman]

Unfortunately, the only way it appears you can loop is by using the left and 
right markers.

Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer

[Seth Lowman]

The coolsoft Engine has less of a delay problem then does Bassmidi. However, 
there is still some latency even with the Coolsoft engine. The best and easiest 
way to have a sound source without any delay problems is to use a hardware 
synth, like a Yamaha keyboard. 

God bless!

RE: QWS List orchestrating on the computer

[Nicole Massey]

This all depends on the power of your computer and audio interface. I've gotten 
it down to no noticeable latency, along the lines of what you get with most 
synthesizers and keyboards with their own sound sources. If you get the buffer 
size too low then any software sound source is going to give you stuttering and 
glitching, so it's always a bit of a trade-off.

RE: QWS List Making external keyboard data readable on any synthesizer?

[Nicole Massey]

The shift from arco to pizzicato is not something notation programs tend to 
pick up, though it would make sense for some of this to be automated. But in my 
experience it's something that has to go in the same way as dynamics, 
articulations, and expressions. And while we're at it, bowing symbols also 
require this type of hand entry in every program I've encountered.
On the Windows side you've got Sibelius Speaking, which is woefully outdated 
and limited in what it can do, (as well as costing a lot of money for the Jaws 
scripts) and Sibelius Access, which uses an older version of Sibelius but has 
no cost for the scripts and has a lot more flexibility. Some other options, 
like Lillypad and ABC, also can work, but they're not good at importing MIDI 
files.
Nothing is as easy to use on the notation side as QWS for MIDI stuff.

RE: QWS List Making external keyboard data readable on any synthesizer?

[Nicole Massey]

Sometimes. Most notation programs prefer port 1. Use standard General MIDI 
program numbers and they should get the stave titles right, though they often 
will default to your track title. (I know Finale does this and has dating back 
to Finale 3.0, and I'm pretty sure Sibelius does as well) Remember that MIDI 
and standard mensural notation are different musical languages, and in some 
cases there is no translation between the two -- MIDI doesn't have key 
signatures while ports mean nothing on a score. You never hear a conductor say, 
"Violins on port 2, play the passage between measures 33-64 again." And there 
is no program change command in mensural notation. They're useful, but only in 
playback in the notation software, not in the ensemble. (Actually, that's not 
exactly true, as you sometimes encounter program changes in keyboard parts, but 
not for acoustic instruments)

Hi.
Thank you for all of this advice. I'm usually very straightforward with this 
stuff, and if the instrumentalists need to change something themselves they can 
indicate that. What I meant was, when you record with an external keyboard your 
ports are whatever, but how do you make it so it doesn't always have to play on 
that keyboard, for example, so it can play on the Microsoft synth or the synths 
in notation programs?
After you save your music do you have to change the track properties so they 
can be played anywhere?
Thanks,

Re: QWS List Making external keyboard data readable on any synthesizer?

[Lizzie Kazmierski Dunn]

Hi.
Thank you for all of this advice. I'm usually very straightforward
with this stuff, and if the instrumentalists need to change something
themselves they can indicate that. What I meant was, when you record
with an external keyboard your ports are whatever, but how do you make
it so it doesn't always have to play on that keyboard, for example, so
it can play on the Microsoft synth or the synths in notation programs?
After you save your music do you have to change the track properties
so they can be played anywhere?
Thanks,
Lizzie

Well, what are you using for your sound source? The default Microsoft Wavetable 
Synth has a latency problem, but other options don't.

Yeah, maybe QWS isn't my program of choice. I do not want the delay; I have 
that delay when I'm using audio editing software; in all honesty, I prefer 
using audio instead of MIDI data, but in audio software, I have the delay. So 
if I'm going to have the delay both ways, I better find a new way or a new 
program; I wish that delay would go away.

Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer

[Mohamed Al-Hajamy]

Usually the delay is caused by using the default synth in Windows. 
Installing a midi driver such as Coolsoft Virtual MIDI Synth and 
tweaking its delay value can help. Though with that driver in particular 
it may cause a bit of stuttering if it's set to 0.

You can actually get rid of the delay in the audio software, I think
it's latency or something like that. I prefer using audio a little bit
more than MIDI myself, but I know I should be proficient in it if I
want to notate something.

There's the on-screen keyboard feature, which uses the QWERTY keys for
the different pitches. The only problem is that there's a delay
between when you hit the key and when it sounds, and the keys are laid
