Editing Begins

Sometime around May 2023, I clicked on some targeted marketing for a score-sharing site while I was looking for a copy of the piano part to the first song I’d been thinking of arranging. You know, for the last sixteen years. While I didn’t find the song from that click, what I did discover was the next generation of music editing software.

As I poked around the program, I found it to be very intuitive, in a way that the old (and we’re talking old) music notation software was not. I started entering the basic structure of this particular song and began editing. Additional searching led to large caches of original tango lead sheet PDFs.

It was summer, and I had the time and energy to finally start to actualize this relentlessly persistent project idea.

The song was Milonga de Mis Amores (still today my favorite milonga), the first of many.
