Would you happen to have a midi? I can&#39;t open those files ><

For some reason my Finale won&#39;t read that. If you want to make a midi (assuming you&#39;re using Finale) you need to go into the playback settings and choose save file in the playback file area (bottom right corner)

I could make it into a MIDI file if it&#39;s ok with Cherry.

As for the piece itself: great work&#33; It sounded peaceful, but some of the chords didn&#39;t sound right. I wouldn&#39;t recommend using powerchords(root+5th) in a song such as this. One of the powerchords I could see was D+A. Perhaps you could work on this song and replace the powerchords with something more peaceful, because that&#39;s what this song mainly sounds like

@Haku

What program are you using to open it? I&#39;m trying with Finale 2003 but it says that it&#39;s an incompatible file.

It&#39;s probably done in Finale2004. You can&#39;t open that with an earlier version.

Darn, I was hoping to go a little longer without having to upgrade.

I&#39;m using Finale 2004 free version. Sadly, only Notepad Plus can save MIDI files :(. As for how I make MIDIs, I use a free program called Anvil Studio because it saves everything in MIDI. It&#39;s my main composition program. I have to input all the notes manually though, for the conversion. So, since I&#39;m not feeling too lazy right now, I&#39;ll convert Cherry&#39;s composition to MIDI, but I still need permission. Also, would anybody mind telling me what "Leo." means?
