The program does the heavy lifting by itself. However, you should check over what you write. "Behind Bars" is what everyone using these days. Stone's "Music notation in the 20 century" comes is second. Stone is about modern notation conventions. Behind Bars is about the standards. Both are useful. I would use Behind Bars make sure my score meets standards. Then if there are modern convetitions i might use stone's. Or score study. (score study is the best.)

and indeed, old member. @ferrum.wav you should check out @SergeOfArniVillage works!

HI there, are you writing by hand or using a program?

Here are my overall thoughts about this competition: Overall, the competition was competition went well. I think new members might find the three-month time limit a challenge. However, seasoned members, with the flow. It allows entries to submitted and to be scored fairly. For the spring competition, I was a judge! There was one entry that stand out! Sadly, it was scored very low. For now, the competition should be for fun. and open to all. But I do not want to anyone to bummed out if they score low. So maybe new members should encourage from seasoned to join after they have a couple works? (just a thought).

This is a close race!

@UncleRed99 My pleasure as always. :)

I just came from watching this on YouTube Channel! The sprinkle of chromaticism (modal mixture and bII6) is a colorful touch. The sudden modulations reminds me of Beethoven and other romantic composers. I do agree that Beethoven manuscripts are readable. :)

I agree! Bach's WTC, his piano suite, inventions, the art of fugue, and many more should have you greatly! Also, look into his chorales. That is always best place to start. Take a theme and harmonize in 4 parts. :)

@Markus Boyd The baroque period counterpoint is truly refreshing to hear in each of these pieces. They me remind me of J.S. Bach suites, and of he used the strings in this manner. I love how strings dance so eloquently. I just love it. Just a quick note about stem direction: if the stem is on or below the middle line of the staff, then the direction is up. However, the direction depends on surrounding notes. Nothing major. Just a quick a reminder.

@PeterthePapercomPoser for answering that. :)

uh oh. There is a tie for first place!

Although YC post has been taken down, the vemo post is still up: " A FIRE WITHIN " - Main title | Composer : Mason Kistler© *Tribute | Videos & Movies on Vimeo This needs to be taken down, too.

@ComposaBoi You are more than welcome. I try my best to fair and honest when I score entries. And i try to give helpful feedback with them.

What @HoYin Cheung is essentially correct about 19th century period music (romantic period music). Phrases became more irregular and uneven. This means that a four-bar measure gave way into themes were longer. Now, you would still this structure pop up. Dvorak used the period form in second movement of the new world symphony! Harmony: While the 19th century composers still used the same harmony as others, they were more chromatic! Cadences: delay resolutions.... if you have I64 the next chord should not be V but maybe something else... I64 ii6/V V7 I? See what I did there. You would expect I64 to lead to V then resolve to I. But I delay it. I64-bII6-V7-I Beethoven loves to delay the immidate resolution of Cad 64!
