Hey thanks for that explenation. I think I'm finally getting it. here is I think the first 2 or 3 measures od the part. I can't keep track anymore. as I'm not used to thinking in separate parts. lol! Hehahaha. and I think I'm missing a closing right brace some ware.
<< { c aes, g ees | ees f {des c } \\ {ees ees } | >> \bar "|." } I don't' want to go any further until I know I have the hang of it somewhat. I have to go through the piano part twice and notate what I'm hearing. Be blessed all and good luck.
