Hi Alec,
If you can play it by ear on the NSP no harm done. "Real" NSPipers
play all sorts of things, even Mozart, so you should feel free to play
whatever pleases you. The NSP in F, or thereabouts, and D are
transposing instruments anyway.
all the best,
John

If a tune sounds good on the pipes, I say, "Go for it!". I have found that a
tune can look as though it's going to be great, the key is playable, all
seems fine, but the emphasis is wrong against the drones. So do the
transposing then play and listen!
I think a good example is 'Dark Island" It s

As Stewart Hardy remarks when
asked to play such material at weddings, "yes, I could play that for
you but you might be very disappointed with the result"!
I can certainly agree with that sentiment!
I was once asked to play "You'll never walk alone" - on Highland pipes, at a
40t
ng. Then again, it was
written for one drone sound so I suppose that accounts for it. Usr the ones
that sound best.

OK then, Chris, I'll take the bait ...
First, re what you don't want, I'm not sure whether (by "by hand") you mean
direct mental transposition on paper or typing it up in something like ABC.

Whichever way you do it, you are still going to have to "write it down"
somewhere.
Many music programs allow you to enter in the notes, transpose and then
print them out but it would be just as easy for you to type in the
transposed version and print it.
As far as I know, there's nothing that sc

I use Noteworthy. It is relatively simple to use and and I can now print in
a tune quite quickly then transpose it to whatever I like.

No! Remember you are dealing with 21st century humans. Software with
all it's ability is still written by humans.

Maybe I should have said "nothing affordable".
Mind you, for 300-400 dollars, I think I'll stick to pen and
paper :-)
Good to know anyway, thanks.

Hi John,
How's about C# .net and Dflat (Dr Dobb's Callisthenics & Orthodontics)
the former for the pro's and the latter for the con's ...
Of course the pro's KNOW exactly what we must do, how we should do it
and all the other arguements are mere piffle and squeak ---
ciao
Dave
gibbonssoi.
Are these the guys at Dflat house in Camden?
