cool topic! neat to read that Taura uses a callgraphy pen still. About ten years ago I tried my hand at getting a home business running for music notation, but failed miserably. I wish had been born earlier enough to have been trained in the old school methods by a person who did it every day. But alas, this is the day of the computer... I come from a commercial printing background and have had the pleasure of seeing both the old methods go and the computer take over. Some good, some bad... When it comes to transcribing music or composing I have tons of pages of hand written notes, I don't care for the influence that machines have over musical choices. I see it as akin to writing piano music while sitting at a guitar. But, if I have a finished piece that needs presentation out and about, I certainly use Finale, theres no longer the need to beat ones head trying to do the math in figuring how many notes and measures per line to work out. I love a sharp pencil, give me a piece of paper and a pencil and I'll be quite for hours ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif) ------------------ Listen to some songs! or some Instrumental music Read some thoughts!

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
