In regards to scheduling,
The school of music here at BYU uses Libris very effectively. The music
department schedules all recitals, concerts and daily classroom use on
this system. I can schedule regular piano service times and that time is
blocked out. No one can bump me out without my permission. When events
or rehearsals are scheduled, the information as to times, events and
other important details are printed out and put in my mail box. I pick
up this information daily. It is extremely rare that we have a mix up.
Libris has a web site. You can ask me for more details. pianokopp@

Thanks, David!

Yes, the caut list has left a big tattoo on my psychic forehead, too.

Some things move ahead, but others don't-10 years later, Michael Wathen
is a high school math teacher with a summer gig at Interlochen, and an
invention to shepherd.  CCM doesn't use "Recital" or D-Base or Lotus to
schedule the one thousand recitals plus rehearsals each year; we
use...pencil and paper!  (Still looking for that perfect software, I
guess.)

Dear Listers of all persuasions -

I don't know if this coming date was acknowledged at the Nashville
Convention, but it has gone completely unnoted here.  And while those
with first hand information may be able to refine the record, according
to the pianotech archives, July 15, 1994 marks the originating post of
what are now our lists.  I've reprinted it below.

I am not articulate enough to impart, with any poetry or profundity, my
deep sense of the contribution these lists have made to the fabric of
our lives, as technicians and beyond.  I was going to say how it has
impacted the experience of the PTG, and then reflected on the flirtation
the lists have always had with a certain independence from the Guild, as
the two primary lists have always been open to all.  I note, as well, my
suspicion (since I don't have the data) that a sizable percentage of the
PTG membership does not partake of any of them.  Nevertheless, I cannot,
on any regular basis, remain conscious of such a distinction.  These
lists would not exist, as such, without the basic Guild community, and
that community has been indelibly affected by them.   They are a trove.

If I mention any names, I'm likely to offend by omission,  but it's
worth going to archive to note those of the original contributors who
have remained active.  Porritt, Swafford, McNeil are a few, but you
others...you're presence is preserved.  And I would not permit myself to
forgo acknowledging my appreciation to two large presences, Newton Hunt
and Danny Boone.=20

Thanks to all of you.

I would like to hear from as many college technicians as possible with
regards to the following dilema.  We schedule over a thousand events
yearly here at CCM.  They have up until now done all scheduling non
electronically and are presently exploring options for software
that will do the job for them.
=20
The latest idea is that they will rely on the University VAX network's
smorgasborg of site liscensed software.  The university's computer
people are experimenting with a program called "Recital" which is a
program similar to D-Base.
=20
My feeling is that it is far more prudent to buy dedicated software for
scheduling rather than adapt your needs to a catchall program like
D-Base.  Afterall, thats the way business generally operates.  For
example: the pharmacy that I use employs a program called "Parm Ease".
It was developed and is supported only for this particular
application.  I think it would be a nightmare if they had bought Lotus
or D-Base and tried to make it work for their needs.
=20
How does your school handle scheduling.  Whats the name of the
program, is it a local or a vax type system?  Are they happy?
