Re: Placement of tuplets
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...

Re: Italic/oblique flat and sharp glyphs?
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.

Re: Fermata question
Two quarter rests seems clearer to me. I'm pretty sure Arnstein would have done it that way since he wanted exact correspondence of fermatas between all the parts including within cues. Exactly. The fermata is precisely on the second beat, starting and finishing there. There is no fermata on the fi...

Re: Another Mozart Centered Beam
Question on the source: why the printed version you attached doesn't show the two triplets in beat 4, left-hand, of both bars, and in beat 2, right-hand? The passing notes that create the triplets appear to have been added later throughout the piece. Most editors have felt that this was probably an...

Re: glissando question (text vs no-text)
In his "Birds and Bells", Bent Sørensen uses both with and without gliss. There is also the overtone gliss, which must have that indication. Still, there is no exact consensus, but if your music is "advanced" enough, you can specify gliss. on the beginning and later omit it. Othe...

Re: glissando question (text vs no-text)
Portamento is rarely notated in strings since it is considered as an expression. Nobody knows what Mahler wanted in his last movement of the last symphony. There are both recordings of glissando and portamento. In my music I use gliss. for all instruments since there are too many lines around... :) ...

Finale Quartertones
Here is a solution for quartertones in Finale, using arrows to represent quarter tone alterations. 1. Install the font, the fan file, and copy Finale Scripts for the accidentals in the scripts' folder. 2. In Document Settings, use Maestroquartertones as the font for accidentals, and under Accidental...

Re: Enharmonic symbol
Personally, I would add - nothing. Db and C# are totally normal notes.
