Hello Chuck, Jim and others,
Thank you very much. So, if I understand this correctly, I can
write for violins KS and when I want pizz. I can just write pizz.
in the score and the program will recognise it on the condition
that I use human playback? What happens if I want harmonics? Is
there a list of expressions and symbols that Finale recognises and
plays back accordingly? Just out of curiousity, if this can be done
like this, why is the program still giving you the option of
violins pizz. and arco in the beginning?
Good question. Damned if I know.

Jim, there is not really an error message, the program just tells
me that the music has been written with an earlier version of
Finale and that I need a plug-in if I want to play it back. I tried
to reload the instruments, it does not help. Btw, I am not Irish, I
live in Co. Cork, in the South of Ireland, but I am Belgian. I like
it here, although the best place to eat out here is the hospital
(as I found out past year after an accident). As for this CD, Chuck
said it well indeed. There's
a string quartet on it. Technically, I cannot write like this.
It's very well written, but there is no life in it, no imagination,
it never goes anywhere, there is nothing unexpected in it, I am
sure we can discuss this till eternity, but there is no art in it,
it's dead stuff, a textbook of academicism, I'm taking it back
tomorrow. This said, I am going some sort of a phase these days in
which many things begin to bore me, but, fortunately, I find new
music which I find fascinating: Carter, string quartets of
Gubaidulina (I really like this), Schnittke's cello concerto,
symphonies of Petterson. Because we were discussing GPO earlier on,
I went to the MM website, looked at the GPO full version and
listened to some of the mp3's, among others of pieces which had won
a composition competition and I really didn't like any of these at
all. With best regards, Will Denayer
