To Oliver: Your reduce and redact and print approach using MIDI files
is something I've tried in the past, but it's been cumbersome for me
lately, especially without the CMA site to pull from. That's why I've
been looking to find a commercial solution. I know what you mean
about reaching for the brass ring of tough and/or beautiful works
though. You have my every sympathy. :)

To Glenn: Those are good thoughts all. I've been bitten by
practicing to the International books already- I didn't know in my
head that they were fraught with misprints and errors, but I knew
instinctively that there was something wrong there, because of the way
I've ended up "off" in preparation before when using them to get ready
for works. I'll look into Hadcock's book. That sounds like an
excellent recommendation to me.

To Gary: What can I say to you but: Ching... The sucking sound you
hear is money moving from my wallet to yours.
