Any thoughts on this? http://www.behindbarsnotation.co.uk/ Behind Bars is the indispensable reference book for composers, arrangers, teachers and students of composition, editors, and music processors. In the most thorough and painstakingly researched book to be published since the 1980s,

I have seen this book, both when it was being written, and on a recent trip to the UK. (Faber, who publish this book, are my publishers). Elaine Gould is a super, super fussy editor, which is exactly what is required of course from such a position. This is her labour of love covering about

looks like a good reference for the foundations of notation. 14pp extract available: http://www.behindbarsnotation.co.uk/contents/ By far the best layout is one five-line stave, even if this entails placing notes on one or two ledger lines to create sufficient lines for the required

Hi All, I'm using FinMac 2010b and TGTools 2.60. I am trying to use TGTools Modify-Transfer to copy the Layout of a Drum part to a Bass part but no matter what the settings are, the layout doesn't get copied. The drum part is almost all empty measures with slash notation and a few measures with

Thank you! However this comes up as the lesser problem for me. The edition wants buyers to print an order form, fill it, and send it to them. I no longer have a legible handwriting (which was my reason for turning to the computer 19 years ago), as I don’t want to give away my credit card
