What is the Myriad Music
plug-in?
Upon hearing the
word "Plug-in," eyes glaze and minds
fog. I know mine did. Most of us know
little about how plug-ins work or where
to install them. Thankfully, the
directions for getting this book to
read on your computer and interact with
the Internet are relatively simple and
require the minimum of computer
expertise.
The Myriad Music
Plug-In is freeware. It enables you to
play, display, transpose and print
music files directly from your web
browser.
How to download
it?
Two versions are
provided: a long version (Complete)
which includes the sound base, and a
short version (Update) which does not
include the sound base. Download the
Complete version! If the sound base
is not installed, the Plug-In will run
but you will not be able to play the
music examples.
1. After you have
download the plug-in you will have to
quit the web browser to install it. We
recommend you print this
page.
2. When you get to
the Myriad Music Plug-In page
you’ll see links (like listed
below) for downloading the plug-in.

modem), quit your browser.

(To insure that
your downloads function properly it is
recommended that you run Symantec's
Norton Disk Doctor after downloading
and installing any software program
from the internet. If you don’t
have NDD installed on your hard drive,
you should! HG)
The musical examples
in Forward Motion are not contained
within the PDF file itself. They reside
on the Internet and are linked to the
book's musical examples. With the PDF
file open the hand curser turns into a
pointing finger when held over an
example indicating the example is an
Internet link. Clicking on the example
connects you to that example's web page
on the Internet. The music files are
very low memory and load quickly.
You’ll see a set of buttons that
play, stop, transpose, adjust the
volume and tempo, zoom and print the
example.
At the top of each
example page you'll see a TOC link.
This link takes you to a Table of
Contents with a complete list of links
for each chapter's examples. An
alternate link to the Tipsheet found on
the last page of the book and a Q &
A section of frequently asked questions
about implementing the concept of
Forward Motion is also provided.
Because of the dynamic potential of web
pages, some of these examples will be
periodically updated with additional
suggestions and helpful advice.
Returning to this page from time to
time is recommended.
Now you're ready to
use your copy of Forward
Motion.
