Re: Information about Parts

[Alicuota618]

Dear Matt,

I dont compose. I arrange, mainly church music (choir, brass-choir,
organ, piano) and theory (combining texts and music). Seldom using
parts...
The beginning was quite arduous, I had no idea of programmin and
wanted to arrange directly in ly. Got it but then came Frescobaldi and
changed the game.
Have a eye at it. Its really the usefull app for composing.

Greetings,

Francois
