My first memories of Dr. Ronald (Ron) Arnatt came during the early to mid-1990s when I worked as an editor at Scores International music engravers (formerly Commonwealth Digital). ECS Publishing—where Ron was an editor—was one of our main clients; both companies were in downtown Boston not far from one another. Ron would often stop by our office to drop off edited manuscripts for engraving, or to pick up completed projects which we delivered on floppy disks. From time to time I delivered those disks to the ECS office, where I would ask Ron how he was doing, and he sometimes replied, “I’m in a bit of a rut,” in his quite pronounced English accent. To my knowledge, he never took to technology in a big way other than to email. So, with the advent of music engraving technology, he found himself somewhat out of his element.
