DF 42.xx Performance Questions
« on: December 06, 2015, 04:15:02 pm »

For those (like myself) who are having a little trouble with specific aspects of the new performance system, I'd like to propose a Q&A thread specific to performance & composition in adventure mode.

To start us off:

Say my character is in possession of a "violin", is there any way to filter my known musical performance choices to only those compositions which use the "violin" as one of the instruments?

I don't think that is in or if it is I don't know how to do it.

If you're good enough you can fake it with beatboxing but it's still a bit wonky how you can start out with an instrument which you know no songs for and have no skill in.

Check the coffers in taverns, they tend to have instruments which will go with your musical styles for your civ and nobody cares if you take them.

Related: is there a way to see a description (and hence the required instruments for) a particular style before composing a song with it?

The only place I've seen the detailed descriptions are in the interface where you select the song to play.
