Thanks so much for the input! the thing about the violin is true :/ sadly, all I have is musescore to work with, and the sound of the violin isnt exactly what i wanted.. lol but its the best ive got with what i have. same goes for the looping--I havent figured out how to loop simply because musescore doesnt give an option like that :O i dont have a program that will let me loop it fluently. any suggestions?

:P thank you! it's funny-in listening to these as I've been posting them, i've thought more about the melody needing to be in more than in just one line :D ha glad to know it was a good thought! also, there isn't really as much i can do with bringing bass and synths up--using musescore is very...limiting. but i will definitely be keeping that in my mind! thank you sooo much for your feedback!
