More than 20 years ago I made acquaintance with the music programme Finale of Coda Music Software. The enormous amount of possibilities for the production of scores by one-self appealed to me immediately and made me buy the very first version of this programme. First I intended to use it only for my activities as a professor at the conservatory, but soon I discovered the challenge of editing and producing the score at the same time on the computer (I did this at the request of publishing house Broekmans & Van Poppel). As such in the following years I got a thorough knowledge of the range of possibilities of the programme of Finale, which appeared, by these many possibilities, not really easy to master! The skills which I acquired this way, led to more requests of Broekmans & Van Poppel, a.o to produce a number of editions of flute music in the series Flute Series - Floten Reihe edited by Rien de Reede. In this series appeared Orchestral Excerpts for Alto Flute, containing the alto flute part of Le Marteau sans Maitre by Pierre Boulez.This became an outstanding example of complex computer-aided score writing. In 1993 the programme Finale did not have yet the possibility to make straight  flags, so I had to remove quaver and semiquaver flags by hand, to replace them by the straight little stripes that were demanded by Boulez for this music.

The many requests after this brought me to open my small one-man company, Peter van Munster Musicological Desktop Publishing, which works for a number of other Dutch publishing houses, e.g. Donemus in Amsterdam and Thieme-Meulenhoff in Utrecht by producing scores.

In the past years for example I made the scores for all the editions of Thieme-Meulenhoff for music training in primary schools, secondary schools and schools for teachers’ training.

Now and then I edit historic flute music.

For example in 1991 two flute quartets from the beginning of the 19^th century, the Quartet für vier Flöten, op. 88 by Anton Bernhard Fürstenau and the 2me Quatuor pour quatre Flûtes, op. 70 by Eugene Walckiers (1995), edited and prepared in score on the computer with the programme Finale for the Broekmans & Van Poppel Publishing House.

In 1995 I made revised editions of the 12 Duos pour deux Flûtes dédiés aux Amateurs, Oeuvre 57 (Vol. I en II) by Francois Devienne, also for Broekmans & Van Poppel.

And last but not least: I play the flute. Daily!
