That's odd that you weren't able to grab the .wav file.  Did you get an
error/failure, permission denied, or ...?

So you've also got an XS6, eh?  How do you like it?  I'm pretty happy
with mine, but I have the sense that, although there are some pretty
good orchestral/instrumental sounds available for it, they're a little
too far from perfect for my taste.  I think it's good enough for the
near future, but I may start looking (again) for a Linux/software
solution at some point.


By the way, as I mentioned to David, I'm willing to get you a copy of
my recording of the ROS, if you're interested and if we can find a way
to get it to you.

And, in case you're interested, I found an online copy of the score at:
