No worries smile

Here's the REALLY good news...your question started a whole knew part to the forum! How cool is that? So, great job!

Now, here is my take, don't be afraid to start with some short melodies, post them here, and ask! You will find that not only will you get suggestions, but explanations as to why! It's a FANTASTIC learning environment!

Don't be afraid to make "mistakes!" smile
