Musescore files, .mp4 scrolling videos, PDF's

(not approved by Derek)

I find it hard to practice new songs. My music reading ability is shady and between the rhythms and the melodies, picking out the notes on a keyboard to sing along is not effortless. It helps me to sing along with the score. I ping my fellow basses thinking it might be useful for more than me.

I have imported a few of pieces into the Musescore1 format and then recorded mp4's using OBS Studio2. Now that I have figured out how to do this let me know if you want me to work on another section or part or piece. I am happy to do it.

1: Musescore

is an open source program that runs on PC's and Macs. Once a score is in its format, it gives you a way to loop over a section, show just your part, change the volume of the parts add a click track and lots of other stuff.
I would recommend using the above program instead of the mp4's that are on this site. You can download the musescore files from here and then play them using the PC/MAC program.
When I am starting with a new piece I sing along with the bass part and mute all the others. I know I have progressed if I can mute the bass part and keep on my part singing with sopranos, altos and tenors.
The ABV pieces were scanned from the pdf's into .mscz format and then I (mostly) hand corrected and manually entered the lyrics. (It would be great if the finale pro files that produce ABV's pdfs were exported in MusicXML format, much easier)
There are mobile apps for ios and android but they require a subscription to be useful.
2 OBS Studio
is an open source app that allows you to create screencasts, podcasts and videos from what is playing on your screen (or other video and audio sources)

test

if you upload mp4's to the wiki you can just do this:

if you are connecting to you tube
