Fred,
Guess i'll have to trust you then!
I'm not implying at all rp is a beginner, anymore than i would 'look down' on anyone who was starting out, or asked musical questions that may seem simple. We all did that, and as you wrote, the tips are a useful reminder for the experienced as well as beginners (me included). There are times even now when i write something, and some else asks if that's what i am really trying to do. The 'wake up' call i get, and the consequent re examination has, more than once alerted me to a potential problem, or made me think again, and consider an alternative more objectively. I don't second guess, but i do appreciate an alternate POV may be valid. And as so much time on this site has been devoted to film and that 'sound', discussion of orchestration, methods, and alternatives can surely only be a good thing.
Regards,
Alex.
