hey there.

i think "worship" is the genre you're looking for. at least, that's the take i have on it.

loved the nod to "stand by me" towards the end! i got a kick out of that.

Thanks for listening and commenting. I have found that if you highlight a note and drag a dynamic notation over to it from the pallette so that the dashed line connects, the musescore player adjusts the volume. And, you can do it separately for each instrument. Presumably also works with a MIDI player.

Fascinating and complementary that you associate "Waif" with worship. It is not a religious piece, but certainly contemplative in parts (accented by the rock interludes?). Your "nod" comment reminds me of hearing a phrase from Evita (Lloyd-Webber) in a Brahms chamber work. Who knows what subconscious bits and pieces show up in new songs? Now I will have to go back and listen for "Stand by Me."

thanks for the tip on the volume deal-y.

i enjoyed the subconscious bit. i remember sitting with a friend of mine watching harry potter and how the music nodded toward the darth vader theme just for a moment. we both remarked at the same time. it's a reference to our culture, you know? the music we all share with each other.

Actually you can skip the first step of highlighting a note. All you need to do is drag a dynamic notation from the palette so that the dashed line connects. For details on working with palette items, see Palette in the handbook.
