Actually D5 (sounding) is the lowest note on a modern piccolo, although apparently there were a few available in Vienna in the late 19th century with low C5. But no piccolo plays below that. Not talking sounding, talking written (not score-at-concert pitch). The lowest note the samples

I probably did use 1.0. But the list you outlined is plenty to keep me from using that to collaborate with others. MusicXML could work in the very early sketch stages of a collaboration. But, for example, if I want to send the file to the drummer to see if he has any suggestions about the

Hi Jef, From the review you linked to: Also, because OS X views this duo as two separate keyboards, commands that require simultaneous presses on the keyboard and keypad (like Command-+) can’t be entered. That would also seem to apply to command-down arrow, etc. Cheers, - DJA - WEB:

Just curious Craig, regarding the LMP numpad you bought. I had one about a year ago and it never, ever really stayed connected via Bluetooth. Moreover, it was a major PITA to pair it. I would be most curious if you'd apprise us at some point on your experience with it. I got so frustrated
