[quote name='ojplaysbass' timestamp='1334925238' post='1623547'] can you use the forscore app if you aren't connected to the internet (3g or wireless)? [/quote] Yeah, you drag & drop you pdf's into the app when connected to iTunes. I've never used it for anything online?

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1334914759' post='1623304'] Been to Jam sessions where guitarists have used charts on i-phones....! [/quote] It's a lot different using a chord chart on an iPhone and trying the read sheet music on one.

I use this app & it handles pdf's great. http://www.forscoreapp.com/ You can also get a foot pedal to change pages.

This is what i use my iPad for. Expensive yes, but well worth it IMO.

Rules are here, Its not very clear on the sale page, the links just below the main title. http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=rules&f=19

Currently digging in to two Col Bruce Hampton tracks. Otiel Burbridge is on bass on the tracks and is absolutely killing it.

[quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1333895778' post='1607855'] TBH I thought the 2 meant the same thing [/quote] Not technically. A 'Bass' Drum generally refers to the largest drum in an orchestra. A 'Kick' Drum is what you'd generally find on a drum kit. If the conductor asked for the bass drum & the guy on kit played his kick. He'd probably get a pencil thrown at him.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1333797653' post='1606591'] its a standard MAcBook so a little smaller than your pro... [/quote] If your worried about extra space, Mono are releasing a new case with more pockets pretty soon.

They're girls hands.....?

Back on topic, Just got back from seeing these guys. As a collective, some of the best musicians i've seen. The amount of attention to detail taken in everything is truly masterful. If anyone has similar feelings to Siddx about the recordings, i strongly urge them to see these guys live before making a judgement. The best £10 i've spent in a very long time.

Sold John a microphone, easy & pleasant deal.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1333653998' post='1604970'] thanks for the comprehensive reply guys... what i really need is, something i can carry on my back, has pockets for a mac book, headphones, leads, etc.. its needs to be lightweight, but very sturdy.... if i dropped it from 3 foot the bass and contents would be ok,.. sort of sturdy. [/quote] Got to be the Mono case then.

Can thoroughly recommend the mono case. It goes every where with me and i never worry about the bass inside. It's the lightest semi rigid case. It's water proof & has a proper tough base on it so its not going to wear through like many other bags do.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1333617482' post='1604202']The way it links the last six 16th notes with one beam. I would want to see it as 2 16th notes and then 4 seperate ones. Coralling them as 6 notes makes it harder to read, IMO. But I can't amke Sibelius stop doing it. The only option would have been to write it as 5 bars of 3:4 which, for me, wasn't how I heard it. [/quote] I'm not sure what settings you have on your early version of sibelius but i'm assuming you still have the 'keypad'? The 3rd tab on the keypad has beaming options.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1333569446' post='1603795'] Ps I don't like the format but Sibelius defaults to that and I can't figure out how to stop it doing that!! [/quote] What do you mean?

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1333541571' post='1603177'] I don't think Jessie J counts as an artist.. [/quote] Are you serious?
