NOTATIO

Bartok uses sometimes dashed barlines to stress an independent phrasing. Many contemporary composers use it along the tempo changes, but for me as a player it is better to keep it as common as possible (in ensemble, to say: not solo music). That is Messiaen's fourth style. John's approach no2 could ...

That looks very playable, John. I would add accents to emphasise the 'tuplet' rhythm.

Indeed interesting. In this case, IMO, I would keep completely regular rhythm and regular beaming. I would use just accents for stressing (as, for instance, Piazzolla does in his tangos, where 4/4 is actually 3+3+2/8.) In your example, David, I have to many information to deal with. Non-stress that ...

Interestin example, John. That's very tiresome to read. We are definitely witnessing better notation standards today.
Is there any new edition of these pieces?

Sorry, I was typing incorrectly. I mean, the engraver, or Debussy, omitted (dotted quarter rest). But there is a dotted half rest.

From Durand's edition of "Rondes de Printemps".
Interesting that omitting the quarter rest is very strict and forced.
ADD EDIT: I mean, omitting the quarter dot rest.

What is your main editor?

Good to know!
In my scores the default Engraver font looks bad, but in your scores it looks always very good, I am not sure why!

I have ordered this new edition (the Second) and received it recently.
As stated above, some music examples are far from being "the state of engraving art", but the book for itself is definitely EXTREMELY useful. Any composer, editor, engraver or copyist should have it. Order it now.
