NOTATIO

I like your tweaking, Schneider! Any way to rotate the note heads more to have more contact with the staff lines alla OP and previous remarks by OCTO etc.

A. Arnstein felt that one should not use a non-native clef for any cue. Gould seems to allow treble and bass clefs for all instrument but not non-native C-clefs.

Thanks, Schonbergian. The font in the Schenker Beethoven Sonata edition would be a good example. Or the one in the OP.

Thanks for your thoughts, David. It sounds like you have considered question for some time. Are you happy with your mental performance of the last movement? The Beethoven quote: "This sonata will keep pianists busy for the next 75 years." Can't remember where I read it. In any case, it is ...

My goodness, Schonbergian, what strange theories one can find on the internet. Is he proposing that we have been playing ALL of Beethoven's music (plus Chopin's and Schumann's etc.) twice too fast? The thought of a 1.5 hour Hammerklavier Sonata is very unappetizing. Or is it just the first movement ...

Many have considered Beethoven’s metronome markings to be too fast, and the result of a faulty metronome, a deaf composer’s “inner hearing” or error. The Sonata op. 106 is a particularly sore point. The opening movement is marked at a ferocious half note = 138, the final fugue at an equally ferociou...

Schonbergian, in looking at tempo markings in various publications more closely, I see a font that resembles New Century Schoolbook and TNR but lies between them in width. For example the "o's", are not quite are round as in NCS or as squashed as in TNR. Do you know what that font is?

Hi odod. I assume you mean a different thickness of the note heads. I like it, but they do seem to overlap the staff lines a little. At least they seemed to when I enlarged it: note heads.jpeg If the major axis of the note heads made a smaller angle to the staff lines, the actual length of the major...

Exactly the tools I need, Schonbergian. I wish I had your knowledge of fonts etc. I have used inDesign up until now, but may switch to Affinity Publisher if it pans out. I believe that my line settings are what was worked out in a long thread several years ago at Notat.io. The stems are the same thi...

The EB Garamond is quite a different animal from the Garamond I tried last night!. It actually looked a lot like TNR to me, and has the same advantages for footnotes, which is probably why you recommended it. It also takes up less space. It had only one disadvantage. I use the 1) style of footnote n...
