Move to Germany. A good piano is like 500 bucks. And nobody buys them.
I'm not even joking. I keep talking to my piano technician. In brief, it's a dying trade and everyone's going out of business who's not gone out of business by now.
Yes, which is why I'm pointing out this particular one.
That's sort of my whole point right now. Some people could write a 3-1 crossing or an octave, and you'd curse them. Chopin can write a 5-4 crossing and a decime, and it's a joy.
Which is why I say, always write at the instrument. If you can't play the instrument, learn to play it or GTFO. I'm not test-driving your score for you.
Anyway, fuck that chord alright, but do play the RH passage in the last line.
That's opus 48 no. 1, nocturne in C minor. Free to download off IMSLP.
@Robusto well as I said. I myself wrote a 10th only recently that I couldn't slam reliably. It was A-E-C# in the LH. And you had to slam it, it was triple forte.

While receiving an escort home after a night of drinking, Saki's "demon" boss Keisuke Sudou notices that she's carrying a large quantity of condom. Once Saki explains her circumstances, Keisuke reveals that he is XL-size. A romance between the two thus begins."
@RegDwigнt I went to see the real Reg Dwight on his fairwell tour back in March! It was incredible. 3h with Grandma Elton where he explained all of his songs, why they were his favorites, etc.
@RegDwigнt it was one of the most well behaved concerts I've been to. You didn't have to tell people to sit down or shut the fuck up. Elton did his victory lap that would have been distasteful from any other artist. But he's earned it.
I mean it more like, you play Breath of the Wild and it's the best thing ever and you love it to bits. But then you go online and listen to the music from the game on YouTube and you make the mistake of reading the comments by all the Nintendo fan boys.
Theoretically, any, absolutely any noun — and indeed any, absolutely any word — in English can be used as a verb. Nothing prevents you from exampling, betweening, egadsing or greating. Theoretically.
In practice, there are of course a variety of reasons why not everything gets verbified. For st...
What do you call a person who only takes advice which agrees with what they initially want?
For instance, John Doe needs to lose some weight to get healthy, but loves sweets so you advise John on eating healthy, but John ignores your advice and agrees with several friends who tell him to go on t...
There is a discussion concerning how to translate the Norwegian expression ''Rene ord for Pengene" to English. The expression has the meaning that one has been quite forthright. Is it reasonable in this case to coin the neologism ''Clean Words for the Money'' by means of a literal translation.
@DavidM If you must congratulate me it needs to be on account of my achievements. I hope you realize the stark silliness of what you have been doing here and rectify your ways. — Frode Bjørdal3 hours ago
Hahaha
I too think you should "rectify" your ways. Maybe mend them first, though.
@FrodeBjørdal Oh, yes, thanks to your timely scolding, my whole life will now be rescued. I can only imagine the trajectory it might have taken had you not posted here. I will report to my local center for reeducation.
Now everyone follows our model. Practice standards, etc.
My favorite is "Make sure you take really good care of him!!!" To which I reply, "Thank God you said something, I was really going to phone it in today!!!!!!!"
I had eye surgery once and the doc asked if I wanted general anesthesia or local. I asked what the local was like. He said, well, we freeze the nerve. Oh? How do you freeze the nerve? Well, we administer an anesthetic. How do you administer the anesthetic? WE TAKE A BIG HONKIN' NEEDLE AND STICK IT IN YOUR EYE! Oh, okay, I said, give me the general.
I was awake for surgery to reattach a nerve in my little finger. The tourniquet they put on the arm was very uncomfortable and they kept giving me shots of something that made the lights dazzle and spin.
sense verbs or sensory verbs are generally intransitive:
They are: look, seem, taste, feel, smell, and sound.
They all can be followed by adjectives.
You look good.
He sounds terrible.
That tastes scrumptious. [all adjectives]
the verb go is an action or active verb. Therefore, it needs an ...
> Darling Omaet has added discussion "Transposer Instruments" in "MuseScore Composers" I wrote this arrangement for saxophone quartet, but when I'm going to do the transposition I don't adjust the baritone inside the pentagram and if it does, the soprano is adjusted. If you could help me, thanks!
At any rate, why would you not fix an autocorrect mistake before posting something. Especially if you're asking for help.
> Well, I don't want to traumatise you, but sometimes you are just wrong. You can hide yourself behind a user account, moderation powers or sheer bigotism, but eventually you reap what you sow. This community belongs to all its members, and a few entitled users mixed up contributions with ownership, apparently. Now we are seeing some real improvements. If reality is rude or abusive, then maybe the real world is not for you.
Anyway I've posted my answer now. Complete with a demo score. Now let's see if going to all that trouble will actually earn me a like. Or if they just say thanks. Or say nothing at all.
My money is on getting nothing. My change is on reading a misspelled "ty". And I'll put one rouble on actually getting a like.
MuseScore is a weird place. Allegedly it's a site for sheet music, yet they sort their Top Users page not by the number of scores or (Heavens forbid!) their actual quality, but by the number of likes you get on comments that you post in the forums.
And naturally nobody at all ever upvotes an actually helpful comment that's actually helpful.
What gets you the likes is bikeshedding.
You have to post inane shit, not even, like, what's your favorite Pokémon, but really just what you had for dinner or how you returned from school just now.
Everyone totally jumps on that garbage adding garbage of their own. And everyone upvotes each other's garbage.
And that's how you get onto the first page of the Top Users of the most popular site for sheet music on all of the Internet.
Posting 100+ high-quality scores didn't move me a bit. Investing roughly 80 hours of my life into actually helping some 20 people from all around the world didn't move me a bit.
The lesson learned is, every system you create with the best of intentions will be abused in ways you never predicted.
Like, it makes sense that you'd want to propel users who post a lot of helpful comments. And it makes sense that you'd think that helpful comments would get upvoted more than unhelpful ones.
Except no you're wrong. You should watch how the system actually works, and adapt to how people actually behave.
There's highly skilled people on there with like 300 full-orchestra pieces. Good luck finding them. They are all buried under all the dandruff and all the lint.
And the real kicker is, there's no way to navigate from a user to all the comments they posted. Or any of their comments at all.
So even if you thought, okay, this guy has zero scores, but apparently he's helped a billion people a lot, you wouldn't be allowed to go and see what wisdom they have shared.
I kind of want them to have at least one person with quality scores on page 1 of Top Users.
Not that I'd really enjoy being in that kind of company, mind.
If you see like 30 people who are allegedly the top of the crop, and you go and check some of them at random and they're shit, that doesn't just taint them in your eyes. It taints by extension everyone else on the list that you haven't checked.
Kind of reminds me of that Groucho Marx quote. You'd not want to be part of a club that accepts you.
They say in Russian, a teaspoon of tar spoils a barrel of honey.
I am seeking to become a teaspoon of honey in a sea of tar.
Stay tuned.

I was not allowed to delete the question. Let me just state, then, that some contributors here are utterly ridiculous and that it is totally unacceptable to state that the expression "Clean words for the money" is meaningless in English. Period! — Frode Bjørdal19 hours ago
There is a discussion concerning how to translate the Norwegian expression ''Rene ord for Pengene" to English. The expression has the meaning that one has been quite forthright. Is it reasonable in this case to coin the neologism ''Clean Words for the Money'' by means of a literal translation.
@RegDwigнt That's how your Stackexchange worth is calculated - stars in the chat
An interesting example is with my compatriot he philosopher Arne Næss who wrote a didactic book in Critical Thinking. He probably read English literature where the term "straw man" was used for a fallacy. He translated directly and used "stråmann". The problem is that there are no strawmen in Norwegian, but there are scarebirds - or scarecrows. So he should have translated "straw man" with "fugleskremsel", and the students would have gotten a feeling for the fallacy. — Frode Bjørdal21 mins ago
But... that proves my point!
'Clean words for the money' is ambiguous - is someone offering a word-cleaning service? Does someone sell 'clean words'? Is it an instruction, telling someone not to 'clean words for free'? These are all valid literal interpretations, which are a far cry from 'to be forthright' — marcellothearcane12 hours ago
@marcellothearcane He deleted all of his nastier comments. But they were pretty funny
