All I can say is I have paired the audio generated from my score with the original track and it fits seamlessly. I allowed a small moment of smug when this happened. Then got down to improving the layout!

Yes yes! That's what I've been trying to do in line with earlier suggestions, but missed that bar, thank you!

I saw that but had no idea how I did it nor how to undo it

This was what I came up with (best guess)

This was my thought as well but I lacked the confidence to say it!

@itu I understand what you have done with bar 43, thank you for that. Studying the rest now

Not a downside for me! Thanks so much for this heads up. I can spend the lockdown sussing it out and be ready to record the first rehearsal when things return to normal.

Thanks @Muppetfood for thought. I can only think of one other feature that could make the perfect portable practice headphone amp. A built-in Bluetooth receiver to eliminate the cable from your phone.

I have been through numerous headphones and and headphone amps but all at the lower end, price wise. I have ended up just using a Zoom B1on. Tuner, battery powered, light but sturdy. However it isn't walk around the house naked portable. I'd like to find an option like the amplug which didn't disintegrate the first time it suffers a mild trauma, and which didn't hiss like a pressure cooker. I don't use effects when I work with headphones on which may be why I don't find the Zoom noisy as others do. Ideally I would like something that slipped into the wireless transmitter pouch on my strap but it's not a huge deal for me to set up the Zoom for silent practice.

Affordable copy of TL's book not to be had anywhere at the moment. I shall look out for it.

Just about to go to sleep now but I shall read and properly digest tomorrow. Can I just thank you once again for taking the time to help me with this.

I genuflect before the master. I am only learning by people sharing their knowledge. I have failed to tell Musescore how I want it all laid out, but I am making that my next priority. Thank you.

Thank you so much, I have ordered it. Not sure of delivery times right now but I look forward to it. Today's transcription is nearly done. I have to learn how to direct people back to certain bit's that are repeated. That's a bit bloomin' complicated all that dc al coda mularky, so for now I'll put up in long hand as it were! Oh and I have not put the chords on as suggested; reverse engineering chords from bass notes is a big step for me and I'm trying to take one step at a time.

For the first time in a long time I know what month it is. Thanks Basschat.

Thank you.

Ha ha! I like it. Thank you so much for your input. I solved the problem with your advice. A triplet and two crotchet did the job. This is what I love about learning. I knew what a triplet was, but didn't understand its power. Thanks to your input I have a deeper understanding. The transcription is finished. First draft. Now I will leave it to settle then play through and correct any glaring errors. Then I will attempt to tidy it up in accordance with the constructive criticism received here. Then and only then will I share it. Hopefully there will be some improvement from my previous effort. Thanks again.

But I shall look at your suggestion of time sig change.

There jolly well are!! That's not all - look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_hundred_fifty-sixth_note

In fact it may be worse than that! I wonder if the bar doesn't slow throughout its length Wait a cotton picking minute. Is it triplets???? No no no not the right amount of notes, sorry.

Hello folks, I am undertaking another transcription. I had imagined it might be a nice simple one. Oh, how swiftly hubris is punished. Well, by bar 20, that's how soon. It Must Be Love, the Madness version. I have happily picked my way through the minefield of the timing, only to find bar 20 is shorter than all the others. I mean by that, it is 1.623 seconds long while every other bar lasts 1.709 seconds (timings are approximate but as close as I could get them) This is roughly equivalent to one and a half demisemiquavers. I assume this means the tempo is different for this bar from the rest of the song. I can work out the tempo for that bar, but how do I show this in the score please? Here is the bar as I worked it out it. But there is simply too much room at the end !

It Must Be Love. Madness version.

Yes! I was thinking the same. The bass player should be the coolest person in the band but not this time.

Just finished work on this
