There was a time when I thought how great it would be to write music for motion pictures. As an exercise, I arranged the first movement of my First Symphony for film orchestra, once I came upon the corresponding manuscript paper offered by the �Sibelius� program. This version plays back nicely (at least on my computer). I also found the fact most practical that each instrument has its own stave instead of two sharing one, as occurs especially with woodwinds and brass in the �classical� manner of writing scores. I think that this should make the extraction of parts easier, which I did do now.
