I'm working on pieces for 5 trombones and rhythm in a jazz idiom. Writing individual bits and pieces is ok, but putting things together is causing me grief. In particular, problems include combining chords for piano with occasional non-chorded notes, writing down solo sections as chords with slashes for beats, and generally organizing things so both a score and individual parts can be produced without repeating lots of data entry. I've been to the much improved (thank you) documentation which is generally very accesible on-line, sample snippets, and what examples I can find on the site with some success. I think I'm at the point where seeing a well assembled complete piece would answer a lot of questions.
I tried Mutopia, but found nothing in the idiom. I'm still looking, but it seems appropriate to ask others for guidance. So could you stear me to some complete charts with a combination of rhythm (piano chords, bass, drums) and solo instrument parts? Except for chords vs. notes, I don't think the jazz idiom is a problem. Falls, doits, etc. are under control. It's more the assembly that has me stumbling around looking for light.
