Thank you Ruth for providing your computer so the group could be introduced to MuseScore. For anyone interested in using MuseScore, you will need to download the program from the internet. Just click on the link below.
In order to open up files sent from John, or others, you will need to unzip the files. This will require you to download and use the 7zip program. Just click on the link below. The .exe works for me.
When your file is unzipped, the file icon will look like this:
You can play the piece of music by clicking on the rewind button, then the play button.
You can alter tempo and volume under the Display button (Display.... Play Panel).
If you are not comfortable using computers, don't worry. Musical pieces will continue to be photocopied and distributed to the group; however, MuseScore can help you when practicing your music, and if you wish to transcribe or create a score, it allows you to do that as well. Under "help" is a regular program handbook, and there is an online handbook as well. It takes a little patience, but it can be a fun program to investigate. Give it a try!
On behalf of the group I'd like to say, "Welcome Back David!"
