Re: Placement of the staccato on headless notes
Yes, I guessed it was the correct way, however NONE of the available notation software respect this rule. There are other issues with the example above. As you see, I have adjusted the spacing between the first two notes in the first example. Example on the right is default and has numerous issues: ...

However, I noticed that with headless notes, the centered option doesn't seem to look quite right. Wha...

Re: divisi to non-divisi notation in strings
I had recently the similar case and yes, tutti unis. is perfectly clear to understand. Tutti, because they all play now; Unis, because they are now united and not divided into play/rest division. would either of you think that the bar with only inside desks having a whole note rest for the outside d...

Re: tremolo notes and ties
I would use normal ties since the undefined-speed tremolo conveys a single sound rather than a precise rhythm. Particularly it is true within the string groups, and particularly clear when dealing with new music. However, in older publications, the conventional tremolo notation often omits ties, spe...

Re: Beethoven Brainteaser 3
Diabelli Variations are one of the most contemporary pieces ever written for the piano. In a recent chat with the Finnish pianist Joonas Ahonen, who played Diabelli together with some Boulez, Ligeti and Stockhausen, he agreed completely. In my opinion I would say that the clef is not missing, and th...

Re: "only" forte?
Musical dynamics can be kinda tricky, because the concept is inherently fluid and multifaceted (register, textures, motion, harmony, doubling, spacing, and of course - style). Not really sure what kind of music it is, but more info would definitely help us. If it is only "notational term",...
