- My initial romp into part extraction was confusing at best...I had a single
- lead sheet on a page (a 12-bar blues) and wanted to transpose it to Bb for
- trumpet and tenor. I figured with the extraction utility's transpose function
- that this would work, but I gave up on it after awhile. I thought, at the
- time, that the part extraction doesn't work so well in this circumstance,
- and that maybe it was looking for more of a "score" where you extract the
- top line from every page, then the second line from every page, etc.
-
- So, now I've been working on my second project, which is a 15-piece big
- band score. I figured when that was done, I'd try the part extraction again.
- It's going to be a few weeks before I get to that, though.

- I own most of the Dr. T programs, and from what I can figure, they have
- dropped the key-disk copy protection from every product. The newer ones
- that I've bought don't come with copy protection, even though their
- manuals imply that they do (those programs have included Copyist, XOR,
- and KCS 3.5). The older products that I bought but then subsequently
- upgraded (a Caged Artist editor/librarian, and Tiger Cub), with their
- new version, came non-copy-protected. Dr. T didn't upgrade the old
- manuals, so those still say that the programs are copy protected.
-
- All-in-all, I'd say this is probably a victory for us, the user. After
- years of magazine reviews and customer feedback (in this forum and others)
- complaining of copy protection, Dr. T seems to have gotten the message
- that we don't like copy protection.
