Greetings:
My apologies for not responding to the many replies, I've been
distracted by too many local events, none of which are helping me get
this work done. :(
Anyway, I've generated MIDI files from LilyPond, I guess that's my best
option for exporting to Finale or Sibelius (I'm surprised the contest
even ackowledges Score). I'm concerned about them, because they sound an
octave higher than is correct. I tried setting the \clef statement (in
LilyPond) to "G_8", it attached the ottava mark to the G clef but
doesn't actually transpose the output.
The LP scores can be seen at

Note that the MIDI files available there are *not* what I created with
LP. Before I post the LP-produced files, I need to know whether I should
transpose them or leave them as-is and let Finale/Sibelius do the
required transposition. Advice from F/S users would be most welcome.
Thanks for these. I do not have the classic guitar skill for these but would
like to give them a try.
MIDI. You are a guitarist and the G-cleff staff for a guitar IS an octave
higher than that of the piano G-cleff, isn't it? So possibly the producing
program knew this and transposed the MIDI up a second time for you :-)
