Project Update 10/1/11

I've been pretty busy these past few weeks, but I've managed to transpose about 6 pages of the left-hand piano part (the song is 11 pages). For the first four/five, I re-wrote the part on paper with musical staffs and then cut that up and taped it over where the notes were originally.

However, since the part of the song I am working on now has a bunch of eighth note alternating octave notes (high f low f high f low f etc.) I'm just writing the new note (f's become e flats) at the beginning of the measure, which saves a lot of time.

As far as the Trumpet part goes, there is really not much that needs to be done.  The majority of the notes are between low #F and high B.  However, this was one section that transcended three octaves (not a part that was sung, but during an instrumental break), so I took it down an octave (of course, because it started on the 2nd G above the staff) and am fooling around with making it sound about the same.  

Also, I am changing up a few chords/riffs from the original music, because when the left hand plays one thing, the right (piano) part has a second part, and a third part is sung (I'm playing the sung part on trumpet), I have to drop a part.  I am experimenting to see what sounds the best.
