There are a number of examples of this in Britten's operas -- not exactly au courant, but I've always found him to be a model of notational clarity. He used both "Missus" and "Mrs."; a quick flip through some scores shows more of the latter than the former. Aaron. On Mon, Sep 2, 2019 at 5:21

From a jazz perspective, I would call it a C9sus4 chord, or Bb/C (these two symbols are considered to be interchangeable and mean the same chord function.) It’s a suspended dominant chord, where the suspensions don’t need to resolve, but sometimes they do, to a C7 or some other form of C7

Keep in mind the Surface 3 is actually a much newer machine than the Surface 3 Pro — the Surface 3 Pro was released over a year ago, while the Surface 3 came out in May of this year. While the Pro machine has more raw power, the Surface 3 has the benefit of an additional year's worth of RD,

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

FWIW: The StaffPad guy says it works great on the i3 Surface Pro 3. Also, I figure if I need more storage than 64GB (and probably will) I can spend $25 on a micro SD card. I know the 4 might be announced next month, but who knows when it would show up in the points store: probably many months from

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

I went through this evaluation myself and ended up in a completely different place than I expected. I found a video out there where a guy benchmarked the Surface 3 against the Surface 3 Pro running a bunch of DAW configurations. Both machines ran these power-hungry DAWs surprisingly well.

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

I ended up ordering the i3 64GB because I had enough credit card points to get one without paying for it. (The only other one on offer was way beyond my point total.) The 12 and the pen are what makes it attractive. I don't expect to use this for more than browsing, email, StaffPad, music stand,

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

Robert, I think you will be very happy, especially considering the deal you got. I set mine up as David did, with the MicroSD card being the D: drive for user files, and the in-board SSD being for the OS and apps. I have used about 33GB of the on-board SSD, so if you aren't running loads of

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

I have done that already - an iPad and a nice but not strictly necessary special stand by RAT stands (a British company that makes what seem to me to be the best music stands) hold all the bass parts for my band. Most of the time, it works pretty well, as I am able to put adjust the stand so

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

Thanks, Darcy. I hadn't even thought of that because I had no interest in pads until Staffpad came out. previously I had an ASUS notebook with a touchscreen, which is halfway like a pad. The Surface with keyboard cover is really nice. Now that you mention it, I do remember that the 3 has

If memory serves - there are rumors of a larger iPad for the fall, at which point my use of ForScore for reading music will take a significant jump in practicality. Chuck On Jul 6, 2015, at 5:25 PM, David H. Bailey dhbaile...@comcast.net wrote: On 7/6/2015 7:46 PM, Robert Patterson wrote:

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

Thanks for the clarification, Chuck. I frequently set up my windows systems as you describe: with a D: drive for data and some apps. (Finale, for example.) Although these days all my Windows installs are virtual. (The SP3 changes that, though.) And I indeed understand the issue of the microSD not

Re: [Finale] OT: Low end Surface Pro 3 with StaffPad

Hi Robert, As with anything computer-dependant, go for as much as you can afford while factoring in to that future developments of the app, which may require waiting for prices to shift in your direction as the app is liable to be more demanding in upgrades. I went for i7/8GB ram/ 512GB storage

as long as you transpose it or change the clef, we'll call it an arrangement. Darn! I'll be JUST missing Berlin by about 6000 kilometers, but I'll be thinking of you. I will also be stealing that trombone notation and inserting it into one of my pieces. All I need now is a performer named
