Well, it'd be hard for them to read your posting if they didn't read, doncha think?
Oh, you mean
MUSIC! Sorry, my bad.
Seriously, I read treble clef, Mezzo-Soprano clef, and contra-bass clef (no, I wasn't a music performance major in college. why do you ask?
)
And a good one it is indeed...

the other idea was if we shared what time signature, key, and length of phrases we were developing, and then we could, albeit somewhat blindly, write to match.

Good idea. Just some suggestions about time signatures: Let's avoid 4/4 and 6/8 if possible. I spent too many years playing
(HACK SPIT HORK)John Phillip Souza (also known as The Musical Antichrist) that I tend to avoid those time signatures like the plague. How about a nice soothing 13/8 or perhaps 11/8. Those are always good for prog charts.

Good comments indeed, I'd say...
Roger -Dot- Lee, quit playing French Horn because of Souza.
