I do have an IM, but I'll be out of the country extremely soon so there's no point in me getting it. For the next few months, are you alright with me asking you any questions on here, if I have any, about Sibelius? Many thanks!

Of course man. Where you going?

Oh yea all those are very easy to do.

More than one notes (chord): make a note is highlighted (click on it), and then add another note above/below it. If it's not highlighted, it will be written over.

Not sure what you mean in the second question.

Are you on any IM's? It'll be easier to communicate that way. I'm in the middle of moving right now but we can tackle this fully in a few days!

I took a class where they taught me to do the basics on Finale. I know enough to do all the average stuff like slurs, ties, layering etc. But truth is unless if I'm working on something simple, where it's just one voice or something, I just prefer to handwrite the old fashion way. Layering can become annoying after a while in Finale. Ah alright then. I asked because I've endeavored to legitimately transcribe some of my pieces, instead of their half-assed powertab versions, and Sibelius has a pretty steep learning curve. Was gonna ask for tipz

Totally evesdropping, but I can give da tipz. Using Sibelius though. I can walk you through it. It's much easier than Finale in the long run, trust me.

I guess I'll try and do it by ear. There are some pretty clear videos of her playing it. I'm alright at figuring things out by ear as I've had a lot of practice with it, but my teacher is a complete beast with that stuff and can fix a ton of the smallest errors.

I decided to listen to Xuefei Yang and the "Dance Of The Yi People" track since I've heard you say good things about it.

Shit was awesome. From what I understand, her arrangement isn't published, but I was wondering if you happen to have any sheet music or anything for it?

I know I've seen some variations here and there. 2) Generally, a shot glass is about an ounce, just don't fill it to the brim. A regular amount shot glass. That should be good enough for any mixes that you're making Hope it helped

Cheers dude.

Hey Jon, I know you're into bartending and stuff, I had two questions:
a) How do you make whisky sours? I had one in a bar the other night, and loved it, but recipes seem either simpler than what he did, or fucking insane. SO what's your choice?
b) You know when recipes say "1oz of vodka" or whatever, how do I measure that? When pouring drinks I tend to measure with a shot glass, so I can keep track of how much alcohol I'm actually drinking, but it's always in weight on the recipe.

travelling for fun and for life. went back to university so I could keep up the roadlife, ironicall.y but I'm not in the musicworld so much anymore, unless I happen across it in a subway station or talking to the live sound guy at a show somewhere. currently hopping around latin america. Been living in Costa Rica for a few months, but after new year's, I'm off again.

Don't put down that guitar, Jon!
