forcing notation to as performed

Hi Ian,

You said:

“If 3 held good, but there was a time gap of say 1 week before 4 took place, and Composer (i.e. on the same PC) had been used regularly on other things in the meantime, would the notation still look the same ?”

If your computer is working properly, the result is always the same, independent of time. The word “Computer” is equivalent to the word “Calculator”. Calculations do not change over time. There is no aging process involved as there may be in a musical instrument. A computer is not a musical instrument. A computer computes. The result of the very many, very fast and very complex computations is converted in the sound card to musical sound and music.

Best wishes,

Herbert
