That would be nice to provide a midi file also. ;) and Welcome old new member!

how do you format it into a midi file

File>Save As, and where say save as type click midi file. I have an old version of finale I can't open .mus from new versions or others. =P

i dont have that option avalible :(

Oh, you have trial version or notepad then? I guess I won't get chance to listen to it. Hope someone else take a look. :)

Yup dude, you are most definitely a new composer...so for a while now...get ready for the bashing (we all had the bashing at one point or another).

First I'd like to direct you attention to these posts...

We'll start there for now. Right now, It's hard to say this, but there is nothing really "musical" about what you have. I do see myself, though, the first time I had ever had thoughts about writing something. You probably hear something totally different in you head (how I used to think) but what you have make absolutely no sense at all. Don't worry, we'll work through this!

thanks :heh: i know i need to work harder

I hate to be the bearer or more bad bashing, but that cello part is not playable. ^^; The lowest note on a cello is that low C, but you have low Bb's...also, you should try to find a webpage saying the ranges and playable chords for the instruments you are composing for, as even some of the chords are not playble if raised an octave.

As Porsche said, there is nothing musical about it. But dont worry though, I think all of us had to go through this too. ^-^ Just read the posts that Porsche gave you, and practice writing music. Like most things in life, 'Practice makes perfect.' ^_^ Well, hope you have fun. :lol:
