Sorry, Simon, this software is quite useful, triplets are not all equal. There is emphasis on the first note, same on quarduplets, but just very light. So they are not equal like a machine would play. That makes the difference between humans & robots. But the machine (with the software) is very us

Hi Jim, .. small world. I just handed the 3rd horn part of Mendelssohn's "Elijah" ("Elias") to a player who will have to play the music Thursday evening. He will have to play (and transpose) movements in C, D, E, A and Bb (there is also some F). The first horn will play in C, D, E, Eb,

Another note(sorry about the pun...)on transposed vs. non-transposed parts as it ties to horn writing in the classical genre: If you work in the original keys, even (gasp) using some hand horn technique, you may discover some incredible genius in the part writing becomes apparent. Try the Beethove

Then you think Richard Strauss be a complete idiot, because he wrote the horns in A or E when the tonality was A or E, so to have very clean horn parts. Horn players have other things to care about, special first horns, than to read a multitude of flats or sharps infront of the notes. A clean part
