New IMN Podcast and Avid Scorch

The new IMN podcast is up - download it or listen at the site or on WFYI HD2, Thursdays at 4pm and 10pm.

For the past few months, I've been asking for an iPad app that not only displays sheet music, but also permits alterations and transpositions and such. And Avid made said app - Avid Scorch. While it's not a fully functional sheet music creator, it does work with Sibelius (my notation editor of choice FTW) to move scores onto the iPad for reading use. Did I change a score to show the melody for a bass guitar? Oh, yes. Stupid key changes? Handled it with ease. Pull a particular part from a full score? Absolutely. For a first start, this pretty much filled out what I'd need. It's great to see a product get it right from the start.
