Reckless Blues (Bessie Smith 1925)
A few years ago I did some testing, writing in suitable computer programmes. The possibilities are amazing, but these days I´m back writing with an ordinary ball-point pen,,,I like it too, ...but those who overcome shall see.
One problem was that computers spread the information to many pages, which often is unpractical. Specially if tablature also is in demand.I don´t really like books or magazines when the simplest musical idea need four pages.
If you work in computerprogramme it also takes time to do the adjustments, so far they are possible.
If you more and more go directly to the computerprogrammes own sounds, ...you have a new instrument
Of course it depends of what kind of music. and in what function, you work with BUT : It´s worth to remember that basically music in all traditions have survived without computers. What´s the secret? Maybe the human being?
In this sketch the vocal melody line is afterwards marked with colour. Originally the sketch was written by hand.
