Okay, I’m electronically challenged; I’m a mechanical person.
I’m trying to scan in a piece of sheet music that has 4 pages. We have HP Scan Pro. If I put it on document/text, it gives the option of saving more than one page to the file, but it doesn’t scan the image correctly. If I choose pictures and image-over-text pdf, it looks good but will save only one page to the file. What am I doing wrong? I don’t really want to load four separate pages onto forScore and try to keep them connected. Help?
The back of the truck will not be cooled and the heat will damage your harp. It should be in the same climate as yourself. Any possibility of renting a van instead so the harp and everything else can be in the cabin with you and your family?
You have it completely right. If only non-musicians in the bridal profession would listen. And you’re right about the magazines: if they mention the ceremony at all, it gets short shrift compared to the reception. For too many people, it’s all about the party, never mind the real reason for the occasion.
Join a choir! Singing is a great way to learn to read music, learn about music theory, etc. It doesn’t cost anything and is usually lots of fun and meeting nice people. If possible, find a choir with a really good director, preferably one who has studied and/or teaches voice. Singing is a great foundation for learning any instrument.
Thanks! I may try using Dropbox, too, as having it saved separately from the physical equipment appeals to me.
Barbara and Tony, for the music that was originally paper, what method did you choose to move it to computer? Do you scan it in or take a digital photo or what? I’ve emailed some of my own arrangements from Finale as pdfs to my ipad, and those are easy enough to open in forScore, but I have much still on paper. Suggestions?
I’ve considered using a wireless mike but am concerned about picking up extraneous signals (a la “Car 54, Where Are You?”). Any solution?
The main reason is the bed of the truck, even with a camper cover, is not climate controlled like the interior of a van or car, so the harp can be exposed to extremes of temperature. The rule of thumb is usually that if you are comfortable in a particular atmosphere, your harp will be also. You would definitely need a mattress in there unless you move the harp in its trunk (which usually only pedal harps have and these days not even those come with trunks unless specially ordered). A smaller harp in a case might slide around and hit the sides and tailgate.
Carl, please let us know how you like the 3rd octave lever gauge. I am considering that in lieu of the no longer available Classic gut.
Yes, it will, but it might not be too bad. If you can get a regulation after the change, that would be ideal.
Erin, try putting a towel over the neck of the harp where the wire ends are before you put on the cover. A thin piece of leather would be even better. It can protect your cover but doesn’t add bulk so the cover still closes.

Great website for soundtracks of all kinds. Spell his name Eddie with an “ie” or you won’t find what you want.
