Clearly my work is (way too?) ambitious as it is! But fortunately I got the original string (and woodwind and brass) scores from Vienna and Alex, so I was able to just typeset and edit them in Sibelius, rather than actually have to hear them all for myself! That would be HARD. Not that I haven't done that before--I made a score (since it wasn't published, and a friend asked me to), for the String Quartet Tribute version of Incubus' "I Miss You". But I'm glad Vienna kept the original scores around for the orchestral parts for Inland Territory, 'cause that made my job a lot easier.  |
I've never used Sibelius. Can it play the music back for you like Finale does? |

Yes. I play back the scores constantly as I'm transcribing, to double check my work auditorily. Sibelius is a competitor to Finale--I'm sure there may be a few small exceptions, but essentially it can do everything Finale can do and more, and in my opinion (based on trying Finale 2003 before buying Sibelius 2--current versions are Finale 2010 and Sibelius 6.1), Sibelius is the more user friendly of the two by a significant margin, and produces more beautiful-looking output. |

| No Gringo... is brutally long, despite all that looping (so I can copy/paste parts of it). I'm almost there though. It's a 5 minute 20 second song and I've been working on it off and on for the better part of a week! |

| Transcibing "Grandmother Song" now. Finger snaps, hand claps, foot stomps, the body of an acoustic guitar, a piano bench, a fiddle, and a voice. I think I'll put in the harmony voices too, but probably leave out the random whoops and hollers. |

| Hi, I just wanted to check in on the progress on the Inland Territory songbook, because I'm really excited to see it completed. Is this still in progress? If not, can I get anything on Stray Italian Greyhound? Even just guitar chords if you're not allowed to give out the full music. |

Stray Italian Greyhound's in B Major. I don't play guitar, but the chords are:
Verse: B (up to "I just settled-") E F# (repeat)
"But you had to come along didn't you" E, F# (...made me) B, F#
Chorus
E, F#, g#minor (repeat) (...I am not) B
Work with those to see if it sounds right to you...figured this out by ear, from memory. Didn't consider seventh chords.

These chords are right, but if you're playing it on the piano, there are variations on the B Chord. It goes Badd2-Bmaj7-B, repeat. Then again, I'm not an expert, but that's how i hear it |

Thanks aaparallel and roofboy for the S.I.G chords...I haven't developed much skill at hearing notes or even chords...Can you give me some help with No Gringo for piano?
Anything you can provide would be appreciated. |

Now that I've sat down and at the piano with the laptop and listened to the track, I realize I've been playing the opening piano part wrong. Woo!
Anyway, No Gringo's in c minor. I hear things in their simplest form, so in the left hand, you'd want to play the third lowest C-C-C, C-D-Eb, Eb-Eb-Eb, Eb-D-C-C-C...
Each left hand note's followed by a few right hand notes.
Left Hand: C3 D Eb
Right hand: C4-Eb-C4 (c minor chord); Bb-F (Bb major chord); Bb-G-Eb(EbMajor chord). Repeat Eb major 3 times, then go back down to Bb and c. Then loop this piano bit.
Once the singing starts, the chords are still c-Bb-Eb until the "Oh Arizona" which is an f minor chord. "...burning, they say" is back to c minor.
I think "fence" is the g minor chord..."'round, now the razor wire keeps us" is the Ab Major chord. and then c minor.
The awesome second half is in f-minor.
Hope some of this helps/makes sense. I'm going to figure it all out now...
