Good Morning, Scott!

Your lead sheet came through beautifully, and just in time for my needed week-end
activity.

Did this lead sheet come from a fake book?
If so, would you share the name and source of it? I have a substantial collection of
fake books, new and old, but "Pretend" appeared in none of them.

Yes, I have purchased the MusicPad Pro and
am looking forward to using and getting acquainted with it.

At present it has been returned to FreeHand for checking, as it would not install and communicate with any of the several PC systems here, all running XP. I have just been told that the problem has been diagnosed as a conflict between the FreeHand software and Microsoft's XP Service Pack 2, now installed on many PCs.
This may be of interest to others here on SZ who consider acquiring the MusicPad.

FreeHand has evolved a work-around for the problem which I will try as soon as the Pad is returned. I am confident that the problem will be resolved, one way or another.

Did you mention you had acquired fake book(s) in .fh format. Would you share source information?

Thank you for sharing your time, effort and expertise. Of the "Pretend" lead sheet you mentioned that the original music page quality (sharpness) was poor. Yet it was so much better than the results of my efforts in this direction to date that to me it looks superb. I expect that as I move further on this effort I will be most happy to use your kind offer of phone chat and file sharing.

Cordially,

Merrill
