Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
Thanks, Wescott. That's an interesting idea that works well for cases where secondary beams are available. And a current engraver might very well make use of it here instead of centered beams or complete beam breaks. In fact there are many places in Beethoven's piano sonatas where later engravers ha...

Re: Dorico 5.1.30 update
I was amazed to see that my suggestion regarding input of repeat marks at the end of one system and the beginning of the next had been implemented in the recent update, exactly 28 days after the initial post. What a team! What software! "Systemic barline" sounds strange and somewhat medica...

Re: Scores in C or transposing?
I seem to recall that there was a very famous 20th century conductor who had the sacrificial dance in the Rite of Spring rebarred in 4/4.
During my Arnstein days, we transposed a lot of parts from scores in C; but it cost the composer more.

Re: Lyrics in foreign language: italics of not?
In the USA it is often pronounced like "ado". But sometimes with the French pronunciation (or an approximation thereof.)
Perhaps this thread should have the subtitle: "Much ado about adieu".

Re: Lyrics in foreign language: italics of not?
Look it up in a good English dictionary. If it is there, it is part of standard English. If not, check online. It may have entered the language recently. If not, italicize it the first time it occurs in text. As lyrics in a song, I wouldn't, but I am not sure what is considered correct.

Re: Lyrics in foreign language: italics of not?
Foreign words that have become part of the English language are not italicized. "Adieu" would be one of those, as in, "I bid you a fond adieu".

Re: An Extreme "Measure"
Here's another one from around the same time as the first one. At its best, Beethoven's musical handwritings has a kind of freedom, lightness, clarity and logic about it that reminds one of his music:

Yet another Beethoven centered beam
This example from the first movement of the "Appassionata" shows the same characteristics as in the previous threads on this subject. He must keep the prevailing stem direction and a beam break would imply too great a break: Beethoven op 57.1 c MS.png Beethoven op 57.1 MS.png The engraver ...
