August 15, 2025Aug 15 This one's so short and beautiful, I couldn't resist orchestrating it tonight! Whilst working on it, I discovered a weird bug in MuseScore, that causes low dynamic quaver triplets to be played as semiquavers, with an extra note added to the front! Seems to affect all instruments. After about an hour of fiddling around, I finally managed to get rid of it by raising the dynamics of that phrase to mezzo forte. They also seem to have broken vst3 support, as my copy of Spitfire BBCSO lite will no longer load. I just get a Spitfire control box with an error message. Wondered if anyone else here is having the same problems? Edited August 15, 2025Aug 15 by Alex Weidmann
August 21, 2025Aug 21 Author Turns out the BBCSO issue was down to Spitfire, not MuseScore. It seems they've updated their software recently, and done it in a particularly stupid way, forcing customers to re-download every single instrument pack one by one from scratch!
September 1, 2025Sep 1 Hey @Alex Weidmann! Beautiful job once again! I love the way you scored the rich harmonies of this menuet. The format of starting with the woodwinds, switching to the strings, then to the brass, then combining all the forces together was a really great choice that brought much body to your orchestration! Great job and thanks for sharing!
September 2, 2025Sep 2 A very nicely shaped presentation ... well balanced and lovely orchestration. Mark
September 2, 2025Sep 2 Author Thanks Peter and Mark! This one has been orchestrated before apparently; but it's one of Ravel's more obscure piano works: so not widely known.
