[Finale] SFA - composer with issues asking for volunteer help
I'm posting this again, abridged. The complete version is a week or two back with the same subject. I have two or three fine gentlemen across our great nation helping me but I don't want to ask too much of them or extend my welcome. Hi listers, As many of you know I had a stroke at age 60 last October, and followed that up with a bad fall on stairs in Feb which injured the base of my spine. I can only sit for a few minutes at a time without taking addictive pain-killers. I have worked at my seated location for years, and gotten pretty good fin chops (though now I have to learn 2014 quickly). Plus, as I have mentioned in the last few days, I have had major-league computer issues with my super-wiz-bang HP Windows 8 machine. I am slowly typing this on my laptop, standing, but my Finale chops on it are dismal. Meanwhile, I am in the middle of a deadline, I simply must get this work done -choir needs most of it's music very soon. My point is that I could really use some help! When I was healthy, I enjoyed nothing more than sitting and making quick arrangements in Finale - did them all the time for others, even strangers on the interwebs, and I am thinking there are users like me out there who are still healthy and wouldn't mind taking a few minutes now and then to pound out a file or two for me. Yes? I will list some things in this message, and will add more in the coming weeks. The project is called Searching For America and tells the story of K.L. Bates writing America the Beautiful in 1893 - for singer actors, chorus, and chamber orch (strings, 2 fls, 2 trpts, 3 perc.). I am making big-time use of folk songs and other existing material, such as old sheet-music of obscure tunes that don't have midi files anywhere. I'm also borrowing some from earlier works of mine already Finale-yzed. Anyone who helps will get a credit line in the final presentation - even put a short ad if you'd like! My plan is to give mostly straight-forward arrangements to the choir, and contribute more originality to the instrumental and narration portions before the premiere in November. No money to offer - I am getting a little for the finished product, but not enough. Any type Fin file will do: 1. Type out this song: http://www.loc.gov/item/sm1871.02334/ [I had a volunteer for this, but haven't received anything. NOT complaining, just anxious!] My wife has already typed the words to the latter - I'll include that in my next email. 2. same for some pdfs I can attach to private emails. simple stuff. [Several of these have been done, but I have some more.] 3. A fin file, as simply scored as possible, of the Sousa arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner - midi files may be around for that. [I found another version in midi I could use, but I'd love the Sousa. I don't have music, but it's prob on one of the free band music sites somewhere. I believe it's also known as the Marine Band version. If you have music, please let me know.] A message with I'll do 1 or whatever to the list will help avoid dupes. More later!

Re: [Finale] SFA - composer with issues asking for volunteer help
4. Next project, for anybody who likes this sort of thing. I made some much-needed money for college notating from recordings. This is not hard, except for the reverb: http://youtu.be/xsHf7xYGl4s Any grace notes you wish to include would be great.

My plan is to give mostly straight-forward arrangements to the choir, and contribute more originality to the instrumental and narration portions before the prmire in November.

Re: [Finale] SFA - composer with issues asking for volunteer help
I'm up to date - using WinFin 2014. Not at all up to spped, one of the reasons I'm having trouble, as I had to switch to it a few days ago because 2012 wouldn't let me insert measures. Thanks!
