Re: general question for composers

. The bigger the piece the more likely it will be done in handwriting first. As has been noted unless you are careful massive edits can be irritating to accomplish. Generally keyboard pieces with occasional choral or orchestral things tossed in for total abstract effort. Shane Brandes On Sun, Nov
