Heehee, composed a second song while thinking about how to torture the person playing the song :devil: :vampire: :governator: :DD

Song name's "Lefthand's Agony" XD

Still don't know how to make midis, I'll be sure to make them into midis when I learn how X_X

Try to keep all your songs in one thread, it makes the forum less cluttered. Anyways, I like your mentality, composing songs that torture the performer *evil grin* . . I may have done that too in the past, but I don't remember :think:

Again, I couldn't print off the score nor did I play it on the piano, but a quick read through (this one was easier for me to hear than your first one) showed me that it was fun and exciting. However, I suggest that you look into expanding your harmony palette =)

what type of composition program do you use? if you use Noteworthy composer , I can help you make MIDI's. As for finale, they should have a tutorial in the help section which could probably answeryour question

I see... well, you can go to Noteworthy composers website and download the demo. In my opinion it&#39;s much easier to use than finale (but it was also the first one that I was introduced to). There is a few good loophole in the Demo version that might prove useful.

It allows you to save MIDI&#33; all you have to do is click FIle and go to "Save as" and save it as a type 1 or type 0 MIDI. I don&#39;t really know the difference, so find that out for yourself.

It only allows you to save a file ten times, but after yor final save, you can just copy the score and paste it to a new file. now you got a clean slate&#33;

but just in case that makes you feel guilty after a while (like it did to me) you can always buy it. last time I checked it&#39;s only about 40 bucks, which is very inexpensive compared to most others that I&#39;ve seen.

WHOO&#33; I just advertised something&#33;

http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/composer/evaluate.htm is the download site&#33;

Type 1 keeps each track to itself. Type 0 squeezes everything into one track (which is good to keep your composition from being copied easily). Also, you can Copy and Paste each track into another track line in a new file in case you ever run out of saves. That&#39;s what I used to do before I bought the program.

And you should add harmony like what Al said. =D
