No kidding!

And here's one: howabout Sibelius actually playing them back!

***Hi Carl.

Well, this is what I'm asking them. They already do quartertones as
part of the system, and I'm only asking for *two* additional
microtones to be *fully* integrated into the system.

Hi Joe!

I'm not sure, but 2 shoulddn't be any easier than 5, or 10, if they
did things right.

Do you mean you're also asking for playback? They don't support
playback for quartertones right now, AFAIK. If they do, I'll be
very happy today indeed!

***Oh! I should mention Carl, I mean as "fully integrated" into the
program. In other words, they have a "keypad" that looks just like
the numeric keypad on a computer keyboard on the screen. It has the
*quartertones* right on it. I suppose they could add yet *another*
keypad template that would have *lots* of different microtones, but I
think that would be asking a lot more for them to do that then to add
just a couple "fully implemented" ones.

****Yes, playback for quartertones *is* supported, although I haven't
gotten it to work as yet. I hope it works on my soundcard.

And, I just got a message today from them suggesting that you can
adjust playback with the quartertone plug-in that will playback *any*
correct microtone, and, of course, you can add whatever graphic you
want as a microtonal symbol, even creating them in a Font program, if
necessary.

I'll report back if/when I can get alternate playbacks to happen...

I mentioned in a previous post that there is a 1/4 tone plug in which allows playback. It is
totally unreliable and slides up and off the tones. But that might be a function of the software
or hardware you use for playback.
