Do you have problems reading the hymn prelude you arranged Saturday night, wishing you had better penmanship?
Does your choir ask which words go with which notes? Do they sing pitches or rhythms you don't recall writing?
Does your group sound like it is improvising rather than playing the music you tried so hard to make legible?
Have you written a piano quintet and wish you could have performance parts without copying them by hand?
Are you working on a dissertation and can't find enough time to do your narrative, let alone the musical examples?
Would you like to create exams incorporating music with text without the usual cutting and pasting -- and immune to student snooping?
Do you have access to Finale but prefer composing to reading manuals about how to print an SATB arrangement of your hymn?
Does your publisher return your proofs full of errors or, perhaps, ask you to submit your music on a disk? Do you suspect that no publisher will even look at your handwritten music?
Macintosh Consultant
Do you know someone who:
Has a Macintosh Performa that freezes and crashes frequently but has no idea what to do about it?
Has a computer collecting dust rather than becoming an indispensible tool?
Thinks the manuals that came with the system seem to be written in a foreign language that only looks like English?
Bought a Macintosh/Performa computer only to learn that nobody can help them with it?
Wants to get their Mac online but doesn't know where to start?
Has thought about taking a computer class somewhere but can't fit classes into their schedule?
Hates the thought of looking stupid in front of a bunch of other people who surely know far more about computers than they do?
Then, consider this: In-your-home personal computer assistance is available on a flexible scheduling basis at reasonable rates. Area served is northwestern Pennsylvania, northeastern Ohio. Email me for more information.
