NOTATIO

Agree with Anders as well. Unison playing doesn't mean "single voice". In your case it is "two voices divided".

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: ...

I've come across a question about staccato markings. As the rule, staccato is placed above the notehead, centered, with a 0.5 (in space) to 1 space distance (on line) from the edge of the notehead. However, I noticed that with headless notes, the centered option doesn't seem to look quite right. Wha...

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...

Exactly so. You just duplicate and instert one page if you want to get it back.

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...

Take small cap "b" from the font and try to tweak it.

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",...

I think you need to design it...
