Okay, I wonder, maybe the others will feel the same, as that
was the description of the listbot one.

I can do it so that only the owner can post. Have to move
from listbot as they are closing down their free service.

Indeed, done so: Announcement/Newsletter (Moderators can post
messages)

You may want to wait until I've reposted the old messages,
or I could add you to the e-mails list to be sent invitation
to join.

If anyone wants a discussion type group as well, I can do
a separate one for that.

Okay, will do.

True.

Fine. Anyway it is something one can decide when one starts work on
the piece, and isn't inherent in the method one way or the other.
I can see the point.

Perhaps I'm approaching this more from performer perspective
- I like to be able to easily read the score and try to play
a part on some instrument or indeed on retuned keyboard, and
I find that easier if the octaves of score are in the place
I expect them. Just habit of course and one could prob. learn
not to expect that, and get used to various spacings for the
"octave".

Okay fine. However, as web addresses, were the first ones I went to!
Thanks again.
