NOTATIO

And – yes, I agree with you Anders!

I think I may be misunderstanding the "laziness" comment. Yes, that was indeed a bit awkward. Just learn damn transposition. It is as difficult as learning riding a bike. Octo, why so harsh on us who haven't got your speedy uptake? I learned how to ride a bike when I was 7 or 8, but still...

So I began to wonder: Where does this "basic rule" come from really? I believe that the rule is similar to where the beams are placed. Usually the tuplet should be placed at the "beaming" side. Thus in "Gould - tuplets b.JPG", the example is actually wrong. The first t...

I agree. It would be such as making staff "italic", or stems "italic". I would stick with exact roman for both accidentals AND note-names, the font should differ from the rest of music.
