What sounds/programs are you using?
Cheers.

A tip - ignore sibelius. Print out some blank manuscript paper, and all of the theory thrtead, read over all of the stuff about strong and weak ranges, and then write on a blank bit of paper when you want instruments to come in on the melody, thinking of instrument density, strong and weak ranges of the instruments, and the tonal qualities of each instrument.
Sibelius/finale sounds will just screw with you, as they don't sound much like real instruments at all, and you can easily get hung up on one part listening to it over and over, try getting it all done on paper first, then notating it
This reminds me, I now have a spare day to have a good go at an exercise for you Michel, shall try and get something done
