Last post by Tony Edge - February 21, 2013, 11:20:36 PMUpload some of your music to soundcloud.

Misty with quite a nice bluesy jazz
recording using my cheap Yamaha PSR520 as a music synthesizer
Its all computer generated with Band in a Box.
The saxophone improvisation is based on the chord progression
using realtracks.
To improve on the quality I used a phono cable from the headphone
socket of the Yamaha keyboard and plugged the other end into
the microphone socket of my PC computer.
Recordings were made with the free audio program called Audacity
and saved as an mp3.

"Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree,
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud, I can't understand,
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello, that music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
You can say that you're leading me on,
But it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you.
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my
left, my hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
You can say that you're leading me on,
But it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you.
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my
left, my hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
I'm too misty, and too much in love."

Sibelius Notation Software / Re: Sibelius and Dual Monitors
Last post by Tony Edge - February 03, 2013, 12:38:28 AMYes this is not difficult but the video control panels may be a bit different depending on your video card.
But first a simple tip go to FILE, PREFERENCES, SCORE POSITION, MOVE BEATS EARLY from 0 to 2 or 3.
this should help.
Setup Dual monitors with Windows XP Pro
Download the instructions word Dual-monitors-xp.doc
http://learnsax.co.uk/docs/Dual-monitors-xp.doc
or open the .pdf file Dual-monitors-xp.pdf
http://learnsax.co.uk/docs/Dual-monitors-xp.pdf
----------------------------------------------------------------
From Windows control panel display adjust dual monitor settings click on the 1 screen and set the resolution.
Set the resolution for screen 2
Observe screen two move the blue screen box to the optimum position.
Now to test Minimise any of windows applications slightly then drag the window over to the next screen (the drag does not work until minimized)
Another quick test moving the mouse pointer should move into the next screen.
Install the correct video driver.
The Nvidia control panel for the video card
GeForce 7800 GT
Install the desktop manager.
From the toolbar at the top of the screen,
Right click on the black icon
Enables 7 options
(a) Maximise to desktop
(b) Send window to
(c) Send application to
(d) Transparent
(e) Always on top
(f) Visible on all desktops
(g) Collapse to this desktop
(h) Individual settings
To span the display over to two monitors
Select maximise to desktop
From the toolbar black button
Any image that normally fits the standard monitor will now stretch over to the next monitor forming a very large image.
For reading music notation Sibelius and Band In a Box by (PG) can now be spread over two monitors.
It makes reading and playing so much easier with Sibelius
You can now read ahead without hesitating waiting for the next note.
In Sibelius toolbar click the box near the magnify glass [100%] to [fit screen width]
Change the font size in LAYOUT, DOCUMENT SETUP, STAFF SIZE.
