Violet Transcription Complete

Completed the sheet music transcription for Another Violet Night today, so another step of the admin work on a new album complete. Each of the 13 songs has a 'full', or close to full version with many parts, plus simpler versions. The Piano Version has a backing piano, plus lead vocal stave, and a Piano Melody version has the melody on piano (typically at an octave higher than sung) with other elements. From these complex scores it's easy to maker simpler ones. All have the chords marked for possible live playing.

I fondly remember my childhood playing of Beatles songs on my little Yamaha PSS-790 keyboard, the simple sheet music from my How To Play books. I had memories of this as I worked on my scores today.

Also today, two more albums moved to the new distributor, about half have been moved so far. A good day overall. Temperatures across Britain and Europe are high, but we're spared here with a mere 25 degrees or so.

Backup day tomorrow, and perhaps new and better vocals for two tracks.
