Thanks everyone.  It's all part of life's rich tapestry and has to be dealt with. We just have to jump through all the hoops and get on with it. I'm glad they've got on to it so quickly since I initially got the ball rolling. Brilliant for the NHS! I'm really impressed. Onward and upward.... |

All the very best to you and yours, Milly, from me too. As it happens my father is going into hospital tomorrow to have a suspected melanoma removed for a biopsy so I have at least an inkling of what you are feeling at the moment.

I been thinking for a long time now about a certai n rather well known piece by Beethoven, to arrange it for brass band. The 'Ode to Joy', as it is written, arranging iit with the same four soloists and chorus as well. The trouble is I do not have any music notation software programme, so will have to write it in old fashioned style! I am just wondering if I will be taking something like this, be too much of a challenge. I will have to wait and see.

If you're using Windows, BBM, I recommend Finale Notepad as a relatively painless introduction to notation software. It's available as a free download, and can do most of the fairly basic stuff in up to four voices per staff. If you like Notepad, you can upgrade to one of the more sophisticated packages.

I've just been going through Golden Age Waffle (the 'keep on waffling' thread to be precise) in search of a specific post and been amazed by coming face to face with the hh that was. My posting style was quite different back then.

What's going on round here then??? I didn't log in at all yesterday, because I was desperately trying to finish a piece of work that had been dragging on all week and what occasional breaks I did take were spent on another messageboard, which I moderate and therefore feel a duty to visit reasonably often.
Now I come back, and there seems to be a big fight going on in one thread about moderation, but I can't find where it all started (presumably in another thread(s)?).
FWIW I'm a little surprised to discover that the moderators have been refusing to let people delete their accounts (especially Tony Watson, who I noticed had left months ago and assumed he himself had simply chosen to leave his account semi-active pending a possibly future return). Apart from that, I have various feelings about other aspects of the current situation but would rather like to know where all this arguing started before posting anything about it.

Tinners, the Moderators weren't 'refusing' to delete accounts. Member accounts are always left active for a while to allow for a little 'cooling off' time, if the resignation occured as a result of disagreement, or just in case the Member changes their mind and wishes to continue posting. Apologies if we haven't been quite up to date with our 'tidying up'. Nothing was intended by it.

Thanks Don. That's the one I saw when I logged in this morning. But I can't understand how it turned into a discussion about t-p, since it seems to have started as a discussion about the deletion of accounts by those who had requested it.

Maybe someone even more obsessive then I can give chapter and verse, but I'd rather draw a clean line.

Has anyone on here actually been listening to R3 today besides me? I've had it on all the time, in the car and while I'm working at home. Does anyone have any comments on the music played? I haven't had time to give it my full attention lately unfortunately because I've had constant interruptions with workmen, doorbell, phone - but would welcome anyone starting a discussion on any of the programmes. I would myself, but nothing has stood out to me today as being particularly excellent or particularly bad. Quite ordinary really. However, if anyone else has noticed anything unusual or if I've missed something special, please let me know. This is a music appreciation board primarily after all.  |

Normally I listen to R3 in the mornings. Right up to 1pm usually, Milly, when I am not working. Great company. Apart when I hear SNP's voice!! AArgh!!
