Hi Chris, thank you so much for the detailed reply - I feel guilty for holding up your work flow! I know from my own work how it can seem like it is being lost in the wilderness but I am sure that this is the holy grail of blending a notation programme with great sound libraries. I think that NotePerformer is superb for giving a sketch and some elements like the brass can be fantastic but your sound sets will mean I can really achieve that ultimate level, so please don’t be disheartened - I’m willing you on.
