Dear Matt, I dont compose. I arrange, mainly church music (choir, brass-choir, organ, piano) and theory (combining texts and music). Seldom using parts... The beginning was quite arduous, I had no idea of programmin and wanted to arrange directly in ly. Got it but then came Frescobaldi and changed the game. Have a eye at it. Its really the usefull app for composing.
