First I want to apologize.

I felt like I had dropped the ball toward the latter half of December, undoubtedly dissapointing a portion of the 47 visitors I received on December 23rd.

I did not get as much as much Christmas music posted as had mapped out on paper.

 My Excuse???

Kids getting sick, part-time job sapping my energy and feeling super sleepy lately, I did not feel as productive as I could have been.

Other Excuse???

I also decided to test the Musescore 2.0 Beta program, which has some nice WoWs to it, but not enough to take a chance on losing my entire score – twice! – when it hit a glitch.

I found it to be unstable with my Windows 7, especially after listening to the music and then trying to make changes to the score.
I will let you know when I think it is stable and ready for prime-time. 

So I am back to Musescore 1.3  – which is without all the fancy stuff, but my scores are safe.

Moral of this story?: Don’t test a new software program when you have a deadline.

Wondering…

I am not sure if the music I am posting is helpful either.  
I see the visitors, but I am not getting much feedback.

If any of you have suggestions, or if you find a wrong note, please, please, please let me know.

This next week, I may work on ‘Ring Out Wild Bells’, but we will see.

My plans for the new year are:

Publish the sacrament hymns for simplified organ, in as simple a style as I can.
Add a sacrament hymn page tab to make them easier to find.
Publish themed hymns, ie: love, Easter, the Restoration, patriotic, some children’s songs and maybe even a few of my own pieces.

Thank you for visiting my ‘work-in-progress’ these past six months.  I hope I can work out the glitches and publish music that is helpful and enjoyable to play.

Elizabeth 🙂

Happy New Year!!!
