Programs like Noteflight and MuseScore

May 13, 2023 by Up-Tempo

Programs like Noteflight and MuseScore are great software programs capable of a great deal, but can they produce professional orchestral scores? I’m not sure I can answer this question. Currently (at the date of this post), Noteflight still doesn’t place brackets around the orchestral group sections, lacks several articulations, and uses a non-industry standard sizing […]

Random Thoughts About Publishing

May 9, 2023 by Up-Tempo

I can break down my process into six steps. […]
