Nice

Welcome to the great wizard club MrTaff

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1358103114' post='1933195'] Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, there's a few here for me to try out. I did notice a Sibelius First which is around £90 - still more than I wanted to pay really but perhaps another option... [/quote] Well musescore is free and does what you said in the op, takes a few seconds to download and easy to uninstall if you decide to upgrade, I have been reading for two years on and off and its far far far more advanced than me

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1358098755' post='1933103'] Ooh this looks like fun, thanks for posting. Drummer rating here I come EDIT. Bugger doesn't work on the iPad I'll have to fire up the big boy. [/quote] Yes I just tried it on Tablet does not work as it needs flash player 7 [quote name='muttley' timestamp='1358099158' post='1933113'] No matter how fast I click I can't get beyond Wizard level . [/quote] Try and try again, you dont need to work or sleep or eat or any of that stuff just keep at it

I use a mouse as I cant type well enough to find the letters/notes, I could half it if I knew where the letters where to hand but thats a whole new skill to spend years on I keep thinking to try it on my Galaxy Tab to see if it works by tapping the notes?

In fact......http://musescore.org/

I have Musescore which does exactly what you want and I think its free!? In fact I think this was your recommendation Doddy when I posted a similar thread over a year ago?

Naughty

ha good point

Nice! how long did it take you?

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1358094669' post='1932983'] I like it. Lets see how well it goes first, but aspiring to get it overseas? I love it :-p as long as I returns to get auctioned. Can any of the mods help out with sorting a white BC polo for this? [/quote] I was just thinking along the lines of someone who perhaps goes over anyway that could call in at a members gig/practice/studio film it sign it and bring it back or similar, we all travel with work and stuff so I bet someone gets over there, could ask Johnston, Doh!

I think any kind of musical venture should be included, some younger members might not do gigs as such but might be doing college or school shows etc, one of MiltyG's web shows would be cool, a studio session etc as long as its documented? Gives everyone a chance which will also generate more pounds

Be nice to get it over to Ireland and maybe some of the little islands too?

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1358092059' post='1932920'] bass clef wizard 1.3 seconds tremble with fear mortals [/quote] What were you doing making a brew between notes?

Thats it even after a couple of years since I started to try and read properly (I am still very much a novice) I return to this tool just to sharpen up the note positions on the staff in my head, used to take me ages to get a decent score, this time I got wizard on my first go and all the others until the .89 came out of the bag, I never dropped even to master for one but it did take about 10 goes to get the great wizard though which is less than 1 second btw. Have fun, next thing you know you are onto note durations then ties and slurs, triplets and 16th triplets and rests!

You say that but this is what got me started 2 years ago!

Just got my best ever score! [IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/20130113_134005.jpg[/IMG] Give it a go if you have not before but be warned its [i]very[/i] addictive!

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1358071165' post='1932490'] I'll sort out a mock up of a wee set of rules later this afternoon and post them. Also, Can I at least choose the charity please? [/quote] I was going to suggest that as there will be too many suggestions, if anyone has a problem they can go and think of their own awesome idea

Good, that's too far to tempt me too

Sorted re the strings then mate, cool. What about anyone that uses it puts a pound in a jar (paypal or similar)?

I have a set of strings spare to get it started if you want them? As long as it passes by me on its way up

Where is it? I really should not be looking as I have no where to keep it and only been playing upright for a month

That bloody Framus cutaway keeps on popping into my mind! Where can I put it? haha

Back to Maplins tomorrow then! They must love me in there
