Hey thanks for your explanation. it is helping a bit. how ever I think it is still complaining about this measure
d4 e! g4. f8 e If I recall though it is d, e natural, g, f, e flat. so Do I need to mark it as an e flat at the end of that measure, the error I get is unexpected '!' and I think it is that measure it's having a connection about. I'm not looking forward t the violin 2 part as that one will be tricky, but I'll get to that as soon as I make this error free. lol! thanks for dealing with such a slow learner lol! the manual is helpful but sometimes it can be less then explanatory even to a musician who has been playing for over 20 years lol! Take care all and be blessed. I'm taking a brake from this for now. I need it! On Mar 1, 2013, at 1:54 PM, David Kastrup <d...@gnu.org> wrote: > Sarah k Alawami <marri...@gmail.com> writes: > >> Ok.
