Errors in Janacek?

This Twitter thread caught my attention https://twitter.com/stuart_macrae/status/1287716104601849856 You may need to scroll up slightly to get the beginning (including the relevant musical example). Which begs a question: if something probably not intended by the composer but which has been regularl...

Re: Logging in to the forum?

Yes, I've now tried that and it seems to make no difference. I still have to login twice for the login actually to happen.

EDIT: Or maybe, maybe it is now working… Time will tell.

Re: Convention of ending at bottom of page.

OCTO I think your second example with the arrow showing at the end of the earlier system is unequivocal. I'm not a string player (although I was an adolescent cellist). I have used similar arrows for various effects on the trombone, which have been understood across systems (and I was a trombonist u...

Convention of ending at bottom of page.

There seems to be a convention that a musical score should always end at the bottom of a page, and indeed nearly all published scores that I've seen do just so. I brought the subject up earlier in my post here https://notat.io/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=7671#p7671 because with shorter pieces it is not ...

Re: Working during Covid-19 lockdown

Well, although I'm still effectively isolated here in rural NE Scotland, in the last few days I've got round to composing a couple of whimsical vocal settings. One is a six minute double Yeats song (2 poems, the first very short one coming back) for voice (unspecified) and piano, which I am sort of ...

Re: Logging in to the forum?

Yes, I'm now back to getting the need to log-in twice and I think I'm again showing as being on-line for a while after I've logged out. At least I'm not (yet) back to encountering the error shown in my screenshot earlier in this thread.

Re: Logging in to the forum?

Your resetting of the cookies seems to have solved another oddity I had been noticing. I had sometimes been showing as on-line on the forum when I had in fact logged out. This is now back to normal.

Ha! Clearing site cookies as recommended here viewtopic.php?f=11&p=7621#p7621 has worked for me. Log-in is now normal.

Re: Logging in to the forum?

I'm now getting this (see screenshot) in Firefox and am having to use Safari, which requires the double attempt I first described in my original post. I tried manually entering my password, but that made no difference. Is it security related? I notice that Safari tells me the site is not secure. EDI...
