Hey Catfish,
OK, another "strong" and "delightful" introduction but followed by a most "lush" and "enticing" string passage that "mirrors heavenly harps".

Such wonderful "cascading" string notation stretching from there "grand heights" downward to a most pleasing and memorable melodic section combining great "sorrow" and "hope".

Or in other words - "WOW" !

Michael

You should consider using a better scoring programme, however.
Not to sound mean, but that's a really unattractive score.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.

well, note spacing is awkward, the staff names are in the wrong place, all the beams are flat, inter-layer rests are misplaced, etc...

I'm sorry you don't agree with standard notation practice. I'm also sorry you saw my comment as an insult.

However, yes, your Cakewalk programme is not giving you a very good score output. It is doing you a disservice by giving you the impression that the result is good. You have gotten used to seeing its output and now think that that is OK for notation. However, it's not.

Another quick notation correction: the pizzicato celli really should be written simply as eighth notes, not as 16th notes. It clutters up the score with too many rests, otherwise. And a lot of the rests should be either consolidated or eliminated outright. I believe most of them could simply be done away with through the judicious use of proper notation and articulations.

A lot of the broken beaming is clumsy as well. If you programe allows you to, you should consolidate all those broken beams.

I think Cakewalk is more of a sequencer than a notation programme, am I right? Then you should also consider putting in all the articulations, dynamics, and phrase markings that should be in the score. Don't be fooled by the fact that the playback is what you want. The score, as it stands, would not be played back that way if it were handed to an orchestra.

actually, I see no reason to lie to you and let you think that your output is what it is not.

I will forego commenting on your work from now on as you obviously have no interest in comments other than compliments.

Why waste my time trying to teach you anything if you are unwilling or unable to learn from the comments.
