Why can't I find my music I just posted?
In order to help us remain in compliance with copyright law, there will now be a brief delay (usually less than 24 hours) between the time at which files are uploaded and when they are released, allowing us to review submissions to the Finale Showcase.

Can you suggest any way I could create a visual preview of files people might want to download from my personal web site?
