Hello Michael... So you are the guy I need to thank for MusicXML eh??? Well, thanks! I was introduced to this cool tool a couple of years ago when I needed to scan in some music, and the only solution that I could rely on was SharpEye, Finale, and MusicXML. I doff my cap in your general directio

Great thread, Bob! I was born and raised in Detroit, started piano at 5 and switched to trumpet at 10. I was one of the better trumpet players in our high school and dabbled in composition. But a couple of summers at Interlochen made it clear that it would be best for me to be a professional in a
