Have just re-orchestrated this work to send to a chamber orchestra later this year. I cut around 50% of the material, and got rid of all the exotic instruments I had in my original version. Also made a new rendition, using MuseScore 4 this time. N.B. I've noticed MuseScore tends to add lots of portamento lyrico in the strings, even when it's not indicated in the score! Have attached two pdfs, the first shows the version I'm planning to send to the orchestra, and the second shows all the tweaks I had to make to produce a nice rendition on MS4. Had to completely exaggerate the dynamics on the woodwind and brass, as the strings were outplaying everything else, and drowning them out (especially the 1st violins). Also added a lot more hairpins, to avoid the very jarring sudden changes in dynamic that MS4 is prone to. Plus I added some accents, and blended orchestration (doubling) to bring out key moments. Now I've done that, will go back to my master version, and duplicate some of the changes (though not the exaggerated dynamics). Anyway hope you like the rendition, think it's one of my better ones.

Hello again, I am returned for a bit from my inactivity period, with a question that I hope will be interesting for you. But first, some context: I am playing Legend of the 5 Rings with a few friends. This is a table top rpg that's based in a fantasy world that takes after a lot of asian mythology, mainly japanese, chinese. I want to give it a try to compose some music that sounds like it belongs in it, but MuseScore has so many instruments that I have a hard time choosing which ones to use. Do you have any tips on what instruments you like to use or would use when composing something to sound Asian? Thanks in advance!

Pieces for Pianoforte Op. 21 No 2 - Pastorale This is the 2nd piece of a collection of piano pieces I am slowly writing. The 1st piece, I wrote many years back. I only now finally found the motivation to write for the 2nd. Let me know what you think. This is a digital rendering using MuseScore3.

Has anyone else ever composed for organ using MuseScore? Notes aren't always playing back in the correct octaves, but I can't figure out what the pattern is. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't. I don't know if this is a bug. (Free software, so there are some bugs.) Or if there is some feature to adjust stops that I'm accidentally triggering somehow that is fiddling with the octaves. (Accidentally altering playback to 12' versus 32' "shake the building to a pile of rubble" octave pipes…) Anybody else run into this problem? I can just compose the whole thing in the piano setting for the sake of getting my chords voiced the way I intend, but then I'm missing the strong sustained sound an organ gets you, and it all feels very dinky. This is a nice bombastic organ fanfare.
