Information on "Java Jive"

Ladies,

Here is the link to Finale Notepad2007. It is a free download and the box is in the center of the screen. Very easy to download and self directed.

Download Notepad first. (You may have to reboot your computer after loading)

http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/

Once you have done that, click here to download the .MUS file: JavaJive.MUS.

Your browser might open a file that appears to be jibberish. Save that file as JavaJive.MUS. Your browser will ask if you want to append .txt. Choose "DO NOT APPEND ". Save the file to your desktop.

OR your browser might tell you that JaveJive.MUS is a binary file and ask you if you want to save it - say "YES". Save the file to your desktop.

Now click on the JaveJive.MUS file on your desktop and it should open for you in Finale Notebook. You can play the song from the score by hitting the "Play" button on the playback controls. Very easy to use and if you run into troubles.. just read the help file.

Here is the printed music: JavaJive.pdf

Feel free to print off as many as you need. Don Gray gave me full approval for us to use and enjoy!

If you could drop me a note and let me know if your quartet is planning on learning it and participating in the chorus, it would be appreciated.

Cheers!
