Have you ever listened to an episode of the Scoring Notes podcast and wished you could ask a question directly on the show? No?! Never had that desire? But now that I’ve mentioned the possibility, it sounds like something you’d want to do, right…? Right?
Seriously, we actually do get a lot of questions and suggestions for the podcast, and many of those have made it onto the show in one way or another.
Two years ago, we opened up the phone lines directly, so to speak, and they were jam-packed! So much so, that we ended up devoting three episodes to answering those burning queries. You can find Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 in the podcast archives.
Well, time and technology moves fast, so it’s time we do it again. Whether you’re a “long-timer” or a “first-timer”, all are welcome to ask a question about anything in the world of music notation software and related technology — or really, any one of the adjacent subjects we’ve covered on the Scoring Notes podcast or web site, and we may feature it an upcoming episode.
Send us your questions
Just record your question as a voice memo and drop it directly here, or send it as an email attachment or as a file-sharing link to podcast@scoringnotes.com. We’d love it if you provide your name (first name only is OK), where in the world you’re calling from, and what music notation software you use — or if you don’t use it at all (yes, we have quite a few listeners in that camp).
If you’re shy, you can alternatively write your question in an email and send it to us. But, where’s the fun in that? (Well, there might be some fun in hearing David read your question in his booming baritone on the air, I’ll admit.)
Send us your question no later than Monday, July 14, 2025. That should be plenty of time for you to formulate the perfect question, and still give us enough time to do the many hours of scholarly research that will no doubt be required, and to formulate a worthy reply in time for a podcast episode later in the summer.
Thank you
2025 marks five full years since we started making the podcast, and we’re so excited to once again hear directly from the most important people: you, our listeners.
Thanks for listening, and we can’t wait to answer your questions!
Are you only interested in Sibelius/Dorico and Musescore? I prefer Staffpad by a country mile but Scoring Notes hardly ever mentions it. Why is that? Do you have any updates? Thanks.
We’re happy to take questions on StaffPad. If you search Scoring Notes for “staffpad” you’ll see plenty of coverage over the years. The StaffPad app hasn’t been updated very much in the past year or so, so that’s basically why there hasn’t been any Scoring Notes coverage during that time.
Is Dorico going to support the Yamaha CC1 device? Is NYC Music Services going to produce software for the CC1 device?
Thanks…
