"Tightrope"

"Tightrope" was the only song from A New World Record that I hadn't either written about or learned a part from, so last week I figured out a synth part at the beginning:

To make my notation, I program a MIDI part and then just take a screen clipping of it.  I don't know how to put in repeats (if that's even possible with my program), so I added my own repeat signs when I edited the image.

I also referenced the early instrumental mix that's a bonus track on the CD re-issue.  The synth part isn't present there, so it's easier to hear the string parts.  I think for the most part, the upright bass plays the same thing as the synth, but I haven't lookt into it that closely yet.  I did notice that in one measure the synth plays G and B notes but the bass plays only a G (in my notation, it's the last measure in the third line).

"Above the Clouds"

I haven't posted anything for the last few months, but I've been listening to the albums regularly and figuring out parts here and there (just none that overlap, so any recordings I would make wouldn't be very interesting).  I recently figured out and notated the bass part for "Above the Clouds," so I thought I would post that so that there's some activity here.  There's a section at the very beginning of the song that's just strings and a vocal; my notation starts after that.  As always, there's the disclaimer that I might have something wrong:
