Tips & Tricks / Re: Notating for Guitar
I have one minor addition to Fred's hint, which I came about because I was using his ideas on my latest little composition. Since we are using six separate staves, one for each string, we can pan each staff slightly differently.

What I did was give the low E the pan of 59, then A=61, D=63, and so on, adding two to each staff, all the way up to 69 for the upper E. This keeps the guitar in the middle, but fills the auditory space very nicely. You can hear each string distinctly, but you still have the impression they all belong to the same guitar.

For an example, please visit www.adamsatoms.com/storyteller/ and listen to Story Teller (you can watch it as a video or listen to its MIDI, plus you can download the score).

I am sorry to hear he has died. I have not been here for a while (I did not realize it has been years), so I did not know. I remember him well, though. He was a very valuable member of this community.

And, clearly, through his old messages he is still helping us. For which I am grateful.

General Discussion / Re: Converting score to jpg?
The easiest way is to use Adobe Acrobat, not the reader, the real thing. You simply print your score to PDF, then when Acrobat opens the PDF, you do File / Save As, and you save it as a .jpg file.

For this to work, you need to buy Adobe Acrobat, which is well worth its price anyway.
