Thanks, Buffy, Korngold is the composer I credit with turning me onto 'classical' music, because of his marvellous film scores, when I was a wee lad. The overture to Captain Blood still gives me goosebumps and much joy. I liked being able to see a more detailed score in playback than a midi file would allow, although I continually had to scroll up to the top of each new page. The software I use (Encore) would probably require a two part process to get similar results: post .eps version of the score and add a link to play a midi file. The transposition feature works very swiftly and smoothly, and the result is still legible. Low transpositions don't give us a bass clef, but it's a small quibble. How else, even in a music library, could one find this song. My first impression of the song (coloured by a poor sound card, perhaps) was that it does everything right: soaring lines, characteristic motivs. But at the moment I feel that it is too obviously calculated - here is a composer who knows so clearly how to write an effective song that he can, whether inspiration strikes or not - I don't think it did in this case. Now, if a talented singer made an mp3 recording available...? john
