Wowy powy, I must have missed this one.
I'm not someone who just follows anyone, but I think it would be very worth following your work.
You've done some marvelous work on musescore and quite a few of your scores are worth at least double the attention they have now.
I'm also wondering how you rendered your scores because on your website I can download some very good sounding examples of your work.

As far as the rendering goes: Other than "Forever", all of those audio files were rendered from FluidR3_GM.sf2 (soundfont, you can find more about it in the MuseScore manual) with reverb from my soundcard. That alone gives the sound quality MASSIVE improvement over the default musescore soundfont. On "Forever", I used EWQLSO (http://www.soundsonline.com/Symphonic-Orchestra) on all the orchestral instruments and QL Pianos (http://www.soundsonline.com/Pianos) for the piano part.
Thanks for listening to my music!

I would have loved this piece if this bar and the one previous hadnt unfortunately been the Jack Sparrow melody... Its so good otherwise!

Sorry. Just trying to give a nod to someone who I think is a master of the adventure sound I was aiming for. (See also cellos, next 2 measures)

Ah I see, pardon me I should have realized! Well then kudos to you sir! Definitely one of the best scores he did!

WHOA. GRWA. ACK. I think this just stopped my heart.

While I'm still alive, I'd just like to say that the last part sounds like it could be PERFECT for the ending credits of a video game like Mario Galaxy. Fantastimazing.

Wonderful composition! Very fitting to the theme of the composition. It's very much an orchestral overture with a contemporary flair.

Another fantastic piece, Serenade. Do I hear a hint of Eric Whitacre? ^_~

Anyway, keep up the great work.

This is very good, Serenade17. I will have a difficult time trying to win votes in the competition.

You should add more instruments to the end of the song.

Hey. AMAZING JOB!! How do you get so many measures a page?

Nathan Ryland's picture

While in Musescore, click the Layout menu, then Page Settings. You can then set custom values for the height and width of the page.
