In Christ Alone
Here is my arrangement of one of my favorite hymns, written for SATB, Piano, Cello, and Violin. It was my first project with MuseScore; I've now gone on to many other pieces. It's not quite "perfect," but this doesn't bother me because I am not seeking to perform this. I feel I am not getting the best harmony out of the piano line. Keep in mind that the balance in the chorus is off due to the mechanical nature of the voices and the quirky range of the dynamics. Sometimes the melody is drowned out, something that hopefully wouldn't happen under a human conductor.
I'm not quite sure what the copyright rules are for these sort of things, so I would like to acknowledge that "In Christ Alone" was written by Stuart Townend; I have just arranged it.
Criticism, both contsructive and deconstructive (ha), is most welcome.

not sure what you're looking for when you say you aren't getting what you want out of the piano harmonically. nice melody and nice message. i think for the first few verses - all the music you have before the key change, could have had repeats so you didn't have to write out each verse one by one.
I´m amazed with this arrangement! Congrats!
May I use it with my church choir?!
what version did you use? I'd like to listen but I get a message saying the file is corrupted.

Press 'Ignore'

Most likely 0.9x, maybe 1.0? Back in 2011...

@Shoichi okay!
@ Jojo Surely you jest (I love a guy with a sense of humor!)

Ok, could have been 1.1, but surely not newer (released in Juli 2011)

Just kidding. didn't know what you meant by "fix the corruptions" as in who me?
It is all in vain because once again I listened to a piece, wrote a couple of paragraphs and then noticed that the author asked almost 8 years ago! When will
I learn to look at dates?

Fixing corruptions is often not difficult. See https://musescore.org/en/node/54721

No joke, just use https://musescore.org/en/node/54721
If you don't the corruptions will bite you badly later

Jojo - I copied the page for future use. Thank you. There was no corruption after I clicked IGNORE as per Shoichi's suggestion, so I had no idea what you meant. The score read fine. (It was pointless because it was 8 years old.) The file is now gone.
BTW- the extra 4GB RAM just arrived. I'll let you know if things are faster...or just more expensive. I'm betting on faster.

Corruptions won't go away by ignoring them.
And I guess your system will be faster as a whole, but MuseScore itself won't

I'm not understanding you. (I am trying.) Why should I fix an eight year old file that belongs to someone who has not been here? Especially after the IGNORE worked. The file was discarded after I listened.
Of course if it was a current file of mine I would attend to it...immediately.
I also recall in a thread about MuseScore slowing down you said that extra RAM does help with speed.
More RAM always helps, but whether it does here is IMHO more a matter of soundfont being used rather than layout
I took that to mean help with speed v sluggishness. In any event, I'll see. Many lengthy, thick pieces slow down after a while.

PV, to let you know, I'm currently working on a symphonic piece that's 822 measures and 62 instruments. It's slower than molasses on a winter's day in Minnesota, but in version 2 it only takes up 370MB of memory, which is far less than you have on your computer without an upgrade. The expectation is that more memory will not mean more speed for editing.
In reply to I'm not understanding you. … by penne vodka
If you don't want to use the score,then of course no need to fix it.
Layout is much more CPU bound that RAM bound.

@Mike
Okay, thanks. My Pc has 4GB. System info says variably 0.98-1.22 RAM available. So I figure the extra 4 cannot hurt. I do recall before I got here that folks on the net had recommended at least 16 - 32, but they were speaking of DAWs and expensive soundfonts (like Vienna Symphonic)and orchestral scores.
@Jojo now I understand you. Lo capisco perfettamente!
Buon Anno tutte due!
Love this arrangement! May I use this score for a youtube video? I'd make sure to cite you as the writer, and I'd have to adapt it slightly. Please reply.

Unlikely, almost 10 years later, which also was the OP's last activity here on musescore.org.
