I also like the minimalist aesthetic of this piece. It's quite mesmeric! Think the rendition could benefit from a better sound library, especially for the saxophone. I wonder which one did you use? Do you have any ideas about how to include your aleatoric section in the rendition? It's something I've been thinking about recently, and I don't think it can be done with MuseScore. Maybe Dorico or Sibelius will do this? I suppose you could just make one aleatoric choice, and put that in your rendition.

A friend of mine sent me the following link this afternoon, regarding the impending demise of Finale, a music notation software platform I know many of you use. https://www.finalemusic.com/blog/end-of-finale-new-journey-dorico-letter-from-president/ I'm as broken-hearted about this as if I'd lost a family member or beloved pet. Users will be able to get support and the ability to install Finale on a new machine for a year from now, but after that, you're on your own. Finale will still run, but you won't be able to reinstall it on a new computer if you get one. They're recommending Dorico as a replacement. You'll have to export all your Finale files to a file format that Dorico will recognize. Dorico Pro, the highest tier they offer, will be available to Finale users for $149.00 for a limited time. There is also Chopin's notation software available here on YC, and Sibelius. I've been using Finale for more than 25 years and I can hardly imagine learning a new software at this late date, but I guess I'll have to. We all will.
