Re: On Beaming
Knut, I don't think that the Peters editor was inconsistent. His reasoning is clear: to clarify the beats without breaking things up too much in areas where he discerned that Liszt didn't want any interior emphasis. He was trying to find a compromise between "normal" and Liszt's original....

Re: Xenakis
The tempo marking means slow, but if it gets below 48 it'll be too slow, I think. I don't think it means as fast as possible with 48 as a minimum guide. (I know, that's not what you said). I have had about 3 file corruptions in 26 years of using Finale. It's not necessarily related to complex music,...

Re: Xenakis MISTS
GREAT!!!! not only does the ms edition I'm working from have errors in the tuplet definitions, so I need to go through the whole thing and re-calculate them, but now my Finale file has corrupted, mirroring bar 18,19, 20 layer 2 into bar 5 layer 2. If I delete bar 5 I loose bars 18-19, and vice versa...

Re: On Beaming
I don't think secondary beams are broken for purposes of articulation, generally. I will accept that often all beams are broken for that purpose, but I think secondary beams are (should) only be broken for easing legibility, and therefore, while they should generally be used in orchestral material t...

Re: On Beaming
Something else jumped out at me the moment I looked at Knut’s example: The angle of those beams is so steep that both the beams and the spaces between are noticeably thinner than normal. Like using a “shear” tool in a graphics program. (See Making Notes, Part 10 , the subhead “Shearing vs. rotating...

Re: On Beaming
It is possible to remove the staff lines in F with the Pettersson beams plugin. Really? I don't see how to do that. There is a "French beams" option, which removes the STEMS between the beams, I don't see where it removes the STAFF lines. Sorry guys, my page didn't update so I hadn't noti...

Re: On Beaming
The aim with beams is to enhance the experience of the eye following the contour of the notes and to avoid ugly white wedges where a beam intersects a stem line or a black wedge where a beam barely touches a line so the line makes it look thicker. 3 or 4 beams are difficult to angle well when they l...

Re: Xenakis
This is how Xenakis wrote them in this piece. I have not been given instructions to standardise them, but I will do if I am so instructed.
