Once again, I am the minority doing fine with iKey2 :-) The only stoopid thing on iKey is that it doesn't look up app ID. Instead, it looks up for app name str. This means you need to modify when you update your target app. This is a bit frustrating. Do you know if QK handles app ID? Not

Hey Johannes, It's actually possible to go back to iKey 1.07. I didn't realize it, but iKey backs up your old shortcuts when you upgrade, so provided you didn't manually delete them, you can go back any time. I'm back on iKey 1.07 now and am much happier. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In answer to your question of whether to combine wind parts, I would give a definite it depends. Yes, French publishers, particularly Durand et Cie. follow this style. As a performer, I think it helps sight reading, since you can follow the other part if you have a rest. If you know that your

The traditions of orchestral playing often suggest that certain parts SHOULD be combined on one part. If the 1st and 2nd horns are essentially playing a homophonic texture then they should be on one part but separate staves. The same for 3rd and 4th. If they are playing a polyphonic texture
