A couple of years ago, a girl whom I was teaching piano asked if I could teach her a favourite song of hers, Never Alone by Barlowgirl. I searched the internet first for free sheet music, found nothing. Unfortunately, it wasn't a song by Schubert or Gershwin that she wanted to learn, so the option I found was musicnotes.com. Just the one piece, and for 5 dollars. As opposed to option 2, which was to by an entire book of sheet music from the artist, and have it shipped. Looking back now, I suppose I should have ordered that and have her cough up the money, then she'd have a whole book of songs to learn in the future. But I just bought the one song and paid for it myself. I printed it, which went fine. Because the music looked so ugly, I actually put in each note myself into Finale, condensing a 10 page score into I think 5 or 6 pages. Musicnotes stretches out the notes so wide in what is probably an attempt to make it more legible, ironically making it less legible. I like it when the notes are closer together. I didn't put in the lyrics though. In a few days I'll be going to her graduation party, and as we are going to different colleges, I was going to PRINT OUT A SECOND ORIGINAL VERSION FOR HER, WITH THE LYRICS. And it only printed out the first page. Then I read this article... I will never purchase from musicnotes again. Now I'm going to scan in and create a digital backup version for her. I mean, really, if you're going to college, all of the chaos surrounding moving all of your belongings... the chances of keeping an 11 page score intact aren't great, and it is the only existing version. Are you aware of virtualsheetmusic.com? They use .pdf files, come with actual midi files, and look comparatively nicer. And yet it seems musicnotes has more public recognition. Go figure. Sorry for rambling on! It's good you posted this. I couldn’t agree more.

]]> Comment on “EISA Configuration” partition won’t go away by Keith Pitts http://blog.aztekera.com/archives/52/comment-page-1#comment-6919 Keith Pitts Tue, 12 May 2009 10:27:58 +0000 http://blog.aztekera.com/?p=52#comment-6919 Thanks for the article, covers most eventualities, just one more to add to the list if I may. I was suffering from a failed dual boot (Windows Vista / Windows 7). After installing Windows 7 RC the dual boot disappeared, when viewing the other boot drive it was set as 'EISA Configuration'. Not really a problem as I keep data on seperate drives - but you never know ! All I wanted to do was view the files on the 'missing' drive for my own piece of mind. After much googling and finding solutions that require the purchase of expensive pieces of recovery software, I took my life (and my hardrive) in my hands, ran diskpart in an elevated command prompt, navigated to the disk\partition in question, viewed the details - it was set as a type 12, used the command 'SET ID=07 OVERRIDE' and magically the 'EISA Configuration' drive was available as a normal, viewable drive, allowing me to view the files (didn't find anything!). Anyway hope this is of use to somebody in a similar position, I would guess that in a situation ALA Acer you would get access to the drive during the current windows session as it will be reset to 'EISA Configuration' on re-boot.
