Well, everyone, I have been having a good time preparing enjoyable versions of the the ancient Spanish "Cantigas de Santa Maria." There is a party coming up, and people are going to play them on recorder, flute, harp, guitar, mandolin, viola da gamba and percussion. Should be fun.

However, I have a problem with Noteworthy. Say, for example, I have a Cantiga in B-flat. This is not a good key for us, so let's say I want to change it to C. When I try following the directions, I wind up with a perverted version which is bristling with accidentals and sounds funny. This happens whether or not I change the key signature before raising the piece 2 (or should it be 3?) "semitones."

I just love their directions - they spend 75% of the text on a strange scenario where someone wants to play trumpet along with a computer. Give me a break!

I tried asking for their help - it was a waste of time.
