Hi All, I must jump in here. I never send scores to contests anymore. Here in the USA competitions are normally rigged from the start, especially if they are making restrictions -- women, Asian, White, Black, First American... The Finale restriction is big here in the USA. The American Composers Forum has Finale as one of its financial supporters and they plugged the Board of Directors with Finale "people"-- or they used to, a bunch of us complained bitterly and I am not even a member. Especially if they are asking for weird restrictions like composers who wear red sneakers, blue shoes, and a bow tie -- it is a clue that they have already picked a composer. Arbitrary restrictions always mean something non-musical is being judged. Just walk away. Write a piece for 12 organs. 6 organs is a bit excessive anyway. Contest are for composers who have rich moms and dads with big deep wallets. Select the rich kid, then pump the parents for donation money. There is one big contest in the USA, I won't say which, but it is in the mid-west, young composer introduction to the orchestra thing -- lord is it rife with executives kids from Yale, writing special effects with Finale. There, I fell all better -- , damn cultural villains, I need to go meditate. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
