Flash Music Display   I found a number of drawbacks when using my new Flash library to re-create one of my compositions. First of all,
the grand staff (treble & bass) should be taller. Normally, there are two locations for display of Middle C, not just one; there is not enough
space between the middle of the staves. Sec- ond, editing was sometimes cumbersome -- as notation heads often had to be swapped prior to placement. Furthermore, notes were placed at precise intervals on the x and y axis (y: 5px up/down changed the pitch). It is a good first start, but somewhat tedious.

Applicable Use   With further refinements,
use of Flash to display music could work for illustrative purposes, but syncing audio to dis- played content may prove too difficult. It should be noted that all the notes are upright. Any revisements should correct this as there is only so much room above and below each staff. With regard to audio, sometimes it can be com- pressed too much (there can often be a loss in fidelity). The composition at the right was written prior to 2004, but was never finished -- and as heard here, is one of several compositions that I have written. The score is in the Key of F.

At times, the quality of some SoundFonts can be low. As was the case in the NHL Theme Song Competition, the trumpet SoundFont I used was weak at the high end of its range. This will generally be the case with SoundFonts, and even in real settings, trumpet players tend to avoid the high and low ends of their instrument's pitch range. Generally, a composer will not write parts that reach either end of this range -- and instead use notes that are more "comfortably" played. Generally, those with lots of experience can reach the highest notes.
