NOTATIO

OCTO, Do you think they would send me a free copy if I agree to review it extensively for this forum? Maybe if I take back my comment about the title? (-:

I have never seen a treble clef that I have loved without reservation, and Fred's group is no exception. Is it possible that the symbol is simply impossible to make beautiful? These are either misshapen or too small. 1 and 7 seem to be leaning forward. The others are upright. On the other hand, I fi...

As you said, Vaughan, Cosi is practically crawling with them and it is definitely a colla part indication or even calling for a cadenza using the given notes as a framework. That leads to speculation about the fermatas in the Schubert. Improvisation in the Arpeggione Sonata? It would make sense give...

OCTO,I just changed my embedded images to gifs with reduced file size, because some were not showing up in the text. Could you please list the file types and sizes allowed to be embedded and attached?

I am curious, Fred. Knut, I think that your 1/4 rest is perfect in terms of design, but is angled a little too much to the left (what I meant by "falling forward") for my taste. I like all of your other rests, but agree that the balls at the end of the 1/8 etc. rests are a little big. Howe...

So we seem to have a consensus. And the Baerenreiter complete edition agrees. Great! I am doing yet another clarinet and piano arrangement and that is what I will do here. I would also interpret it as prolonging the last four notes of the ritardando in almost agonizing suspense. It is interesting th...

The following is from the autograph of Schubert's "Arpeggione" Sonata. His fermatas tend to be large and florid, but in this case it is unclear as to what note the fermata applies to. Could this be a "collective fermata" encompassing several notes? Or was he just in a hurry? The ...

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your "tricks of the trade"!

Fred, I dislike any symbol that seems to be falling over. I am not exactly sure what causes this effect; maybe the alignment of the leftmost projections in the symbol. I have seen certain treble clef designs (not one in one of the Finale fonts) that fall over and hate them. So I too prefer no. 2, an...

Sorry, but I think the title is incongruous and that it is even worse in the German. To me it sounds like something the publisher came up with to be "appealing". (A prison is appealing? Or maybe they are referring to a bartender?) And why? Who do they think the audience is for this book? A...
