Mitch, Like Bob, I also start composing on guitar or banjo........then write the chord sequence in BIAB......changing as I go along. I tend to stick to styles that I know will work for me!
I then write the melody in BIAB. Again I'll edit quite a bit. When I'm happy with things, I "click & drag" into Sonar 8.5....where I'll work on it again.
If it's an instrumental for Banjo...or Guitar, I'll copy the melody into Sibelius, where I can make corrections more easily......especially where "syncopation" is involved.....or lots of "triplets"!
I know that I could probably do everything in BIAB..........but I find things easier this way....and it gives me more time to practise! Joe G.
