Re: Placement of tuplets
I agree that music notation "customs" change with time, Shinohara Hoshi. Sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. The great power of personal computers makes it possible for knowledgable individuals to pick and choose what they think are the best solutions from the past and p...

Gould's Repeat Mark-Clef Rule
On page 234 of Gould's Behind Bars , we encounter the following rule: Gould rule.png Application of this rule leads to the following result as shown in an example I engraved in Dorico. The clef change is placed outside of the repeat mark! This is the only way Dorico can handle this situation automat...

Re: Placement of tuplets
You are very welcome, Anders. I still wonder why it has become such a hard rule - at least in some quarters. Hard and fast rules do make things "easier." Many aspects of music notation were nuanced in earlier times. I see a lot of sensitivity to musical values being expressed in earlier no...

Re: Placement of tuplets
I am very glad you brought up this topic, Anders. In the 18th and 19th centuries tuplet numbers were placed (whenever possible) on the note head side . Slurs and articulations as well. Reason: they are more visible there since our visual attention is aimed at the note heads, rather than the stems an...

Re: Alignment of lyric hyphens
I do think that it looks odd and should be corrected. I've had similar situations with simultaneous continuation dashed lines for dynamics and tempo indications and was only able to correct them in Finale by using two dashed Smart Lines with the proper distance between the dashes.

Re: Italic/oblique flat and sharp glyphs?
I vote Quirky. For me, the sharp, flat and natural symbols lose their essential character if not upright. But then I don't like treble clefs that lean forward either...

Re: Fermata question
Looks good to me. And Arnstein probably would have put the col canto vocal part in the other parts as a cue.

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.

Re: Another Mozart Centered Beam
I get your point about the Mozart example though. I guess this is not a generally understood and accepted device, but something that lives on a more personal individual plane? I think that the centered beam, like so many aspects of music notation, is capable of many different meanings. While genera...
