Easy Mode

It has come to my attention in recent days that many of my arrangements are quite difficult in nature, so I've decided to make my next few quite a ways simpler. I'm going into exams on the twenty-second of this month, so I will have a week to spare, and, within the course of this week, I will do my best to present a few simpler arrangements. Of what I have not yet decided, but I am always open to suggestions.

Long story short, I'm back on Windows for the time being, so I'll be able to pull out my regular .mus arrangements.

Also, a word of advice to people who want to let everyone read their properly formatted sheet music but only have one notation program: music XML is your friend.

Anyway, I decided yesterday that I was going to install a Windows partition on my harddrive so I could do some gaming and use Finale, though I screwed up in the installation process and made...

MuseScore and WiNE

Posted 09-09-2008 at 09:27 PM by Nicol Armarfi (Nicol Armarfi's Blog)

...As you may know, I switched over to linux about a month ago, and it's been a little difficult figuring out how to get these programs to run. I've started working with one called MuseScore, which is more or less a Sibelius and Finale hybrid for linux. I'm not too great with it yet, so I've decided to atleast try to get in MIDI arrangements by running Noteworthy Composer through WiNE. I've tested how it runs by making a small arrangement of the Baccano!! opening for piano (attatched).

Well, I decided to install Kubuntu, and in doing so I somehow managed to make my Vista installation unbootable, though I must admit this makes me feel somewhat liberated. Anyway, I won't be able to get any arrangements out the door for a while, as I need to set up Wine/find Linux versions of the programs I use.

I had to do a fresh install of Vista, AGAIN, so I lost everything, AGAIN. But, it wasn't as bad this time, because that last wipe taught me a lesson: backing up important files is good. So this time, I had most of my work backed up, so not everything was actually lost.

With the technical difficulties aside, my arranging is going well. I've been spending the better part of this week working on my arrangement for the competition. I lost some of my sound samples due to the Vista...
