k. I think it's starting to click a bit. but for the naturals and stuff do I still mark them? I don't' want this piece to sound a mess if I ever get a chance to hear it lol!
Ok so how will lily pond know the difference between the 3 minors? There are a flat and a naturals and stuff all over the place so if I just write g4 a g4. f8 e4 | How will it know to write an a flat not an a natural? I did read the manual on this part but it still is a bit confusing especially when you have perfect pitch lol! I will get the hang of this. Take care all and be blessed.
