NOTATIO

Hi folks,

I have been seeing this clef for a while now in Finale, but it's application has so far eluded me.

Could someone explain?

Thanks,

Awesome, thanks David. Secretly, I hoped you'd jump in and share your five cents.

How are the lines numbered? Do we count from left to right (i.e. firsts always on the left, then 2, 3, etc.) or from right to left?

Cheers.

Hi Forum, This question is not directly related to notation, per se, but, hoping this indecent slight would be overlooked, I'd be grateful if someone could clarify this for me. In a traditional symphonic orchestra, how are the WW/Brass chairs set up if you have multiple player for one instrument? I....

The question is: you want to have one part (=sheet of music) and on it two instruments, one under another? Ye, that's what I mean, Octo. Same here, I know they exist, but have never seen them in action. I would just prefer to go with an existing layout standard rather than my gut; as that particula...

Hi Forum, I'm preparing a recording session where players record from their home equipment (Covid…) Could someone show me a few examples of how the layout should be done to fit multiple parts (e.g.: Tpt. 1 & 2) on the same page? I'm not thinking of grouped staffs, but one part following another ...

Perfect, an answer bright as day. Thanks Octo, much appreciated.

This is played by 1-4-0 and it is not needed to be notated. Hi Octo, Ah, I see my first mistake. We are talking about the same "fingering", though I was trying to indicate string, not finger numbers; and that's Roman numerals, I know now. I think the OP meant to write in string numbers (I...

Hi Forum,

Merry Christmas!

I want to check back with you if this string number notation would work.

The viola-player should play the two D4s, first on the 3rd, then on the 2nd string.

Is this quickly graspable for the players, and if not, how could I make it so?

Thanks and,
Happy Holidays

Ah, of course, staccato; almost self-explanatory.

Thank you all for the clarifications.

Thank you for your advice.

Could you elaborate on the 'various articulations'? A quick finale/sibelius sample would be deemed most kind.

Thanks
