Mine was Alpheus but about a year ago I donated it to someone who would use
it.

Mein Gott ... I'm just remembering my MA Thesis, which composed in 1965
or so, and consists of 87 pages of score for 22 wind instruments. I, of
course, hand copied the thing using india ink on vellum from Cameo Music
in Hollywood, working 8 hours per day and averaging 4 pages of MS each
day. I still have an indentation on my right index finger! Just for fun,
and to see what it really sounds like (more or less), I've been
transcribing the first movement to Fin06/GPO. I'm still averaging about 4
pages per day, 'cause that's about all I can stand of it, but it only
takes about an hour to do that much. Times have certainly changed.
Ah, another alumnus of 1527 1/2 North Vine St. in Hollywood!!! I wonder
if they're still there. We used engrossing ink, which most people have
never heard of.
When I switched from hand copying to computer, I found that actually
entering the notes took me about the same amount of time, but the savings
was in being able to manipulate things once entered, just like with word
processing. I now work directly to the computer, and have a cabinet full
of manuscript paper (King Brand, not Cameo) that I may never use up!
