Ah, I see that measure 36 is where you dropped the velocity of the left hand. Yes, I see (hear) your point. Thank you. Ralph

Interesting that you're seeing the 8va bassa marks. I just checked the file and don't see them at all.

And, you're right: I missed the piano entrance at bar 22 entirely.

Yes, Pan sets the stereo spread. You can set it numerically, either in the staff setup controls at the left of the staff, through the Staff/Setup menu item or graphically through GraphOverNotes/L<->R icon.

The latter is especially useful for "wandering minstrels".

Hi David -- I think I've tweaked this score enough for now. It's hard to stop tweaking -- there always something, searching for perfection, but it's time to move on.

I'm going to post the final (for now) version on the Notation Share Forum. I owe you a lot for your suggestions. I've incorporated most of the changes you suggested. I didn't use the "swoops" at this time, but I've been wondering how to do this and hadn't found it yet, so I'll be using swoops in other scores in the future. Also, I narrowed the trombone vibrato a bit, now that you've given me insight into how to do it. And, as I mentioned earlier, the Pan stuff is great!

Thanks again for everything.

The swoops are a bit of pitch bend, in the GraphicsOverNotes toolbar. Pitch bend is the note with a wobbly line icon. A little is a lot.
