Ok two thirds done so you can see the time changes I have put in. A lot of A sharps changed to B flat though Dave. Playback is just using Note Performer and Sibelius, nothing as fancy as you guys use! No harp part put in as I am not sure about writing for the harp.

I'm actually quite taken with Note Performer. Sure, it's obviously fake but it's good enough, and makes my music sound like a big-budget 90s Star Wars game. I'm not even being sarcastic. Scores looks great too, it's clearer in the layout. (Accidentals still not sorted out!) Am I right in thinking NP is influenced by the notation in Sibelius? So it recognises cresc, dynamics etc?
I can explain harp writing if you like, seems fair trade?

Kevin, could you post a Sib 7.5 file. I've never been wild about NP. Thanks.

Right here you are. No extra work done using Note Performer Dark Times V2.mp3 (764.24 KB) Just used built in layout checker Dark Times V2 - Full Score.pdf (240.33 KB) For those with sibelius Dark Times V2 7.5.sib (115.93 KB) Things could be improved but this is pretty much the first draft. There are bits that would need to be checked as far as playability goes and as Mike has pointed out some string passages could do with correct bowing. Great fun! |

Thanks for the sib file. I might mess with it to get sib sounds to play it better. Not that there's anything wrong with the score. As it is, playback could be better.

And what I mean is playback on my system.

Dave,
I hope you don't mind my messing with your music. I'm trying out some things. Kind of like what I might do with it if I were conducting it.
Very fun, really. There are some things that aren't quite working like I'm used to. Could be because I didn't make the score myself.
It might be an interesting contest. Take some generic score and see who can come up with the best realization of it. Would a DAW automatically win? One would think so. But maybe not. We could conduct an experiment to test it out. Two categories might be needed.

Bob, you may do as you please and if you make it better I'll steal it

Well, I can't/am not interested in trying to, make your score/music better. Only my playback. It's a fun challenge. I'm too lazy to remake your score in Sibelius, so I'm using Kevin's (I restored the opening chime note). I have deleted most articulations for the sake of playback. Which is how I work normally. One score for musicians, one score for playback. I realize success will be limited. Still, it's educational and fun.

I know. And no argument from me. Like I said, maybe two categories.

But think about this: Someone is a really good composer. And they are good with a DAW. They can work their magic in the composition and in the sound file. A tough combination to beat.
But suppose everyone started with the same score. Possibly some relatively bland looking thing. Or maybe not. A string quartet. An opera overture. Beethoven. Or something original someone submits. Contestants agree to be in the contest before they know what the music is to be. It boils down to how well you know your software. Winning might be less important than seeing how different people handle the same notes.
