Eric, Use the "Notation - Lite" JABB instruments. Your G5 iMac (1.8 GHz, I assume) just isn't fast enough to play back a large number of full- blooded JABB instruments at once. This is partly because JABB instruments are MUCH more demanding than GPO instruments and partly because version 1

Again, you should NOT use any custom-programmed mod-wheel expressions with GPO, hidden or otherwise. Use Human Playback, with regular (not customized for playback) dynamic expressions. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 04 Jan 2007, at 9:34 AM, Gerald Berg wrote: I find that

Use the mixer, and turn on Human Playback when working with GPO instruments. Velocity does not affect the volume of sustaining instruments in GPO. Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 04 Jan 2007, at 12:18 AM, MB wrote: Hi. Could anyone explain how I get louder vol

It may be a copyright issue with regard to the fonts. As I understand it, with PDFs, the fonts either have to be available on the output device system (Lulu in this case) or embedded in the PDF when it is generated. Lulu may not want to have to deal with embedded font copyrights. **Leigh On Thu

Hi Bob, I'd write what I wanted the drummer to play without indicating that there is a contrasting (conflicting) rhythm in the bass part. If the saxophones have quarter note triplets, and the trombones have quarter notes, we don't feel any need to cue that in the parts. My music is full
