Re: Beethoven brainteaser
I'm no expert, so this is just a guess, but could it be because the remainder of each measure is simply ties and nothing more? By comparison, there's no need to show the center of the measure for the dotted whole note in the first measure. Is this an appropriate exception?

Re: Flat beam question
If notation apps could do curved beams, I'd probably have a different opinion on the matter lol

Re: Flat beam question
Convex vs concave doesn't matter much to me. The group is *trending* downward, so I'd slant the beam downward, at least a little. Doesn't really matter what happens in the middle. Here's what my brain sees: beam-group-showing-trend.png This doesn't mean that I'd slope it that much, but *something*.

Re: Flat beam question
I wouldn’t use a flat beam. I’ve always been in the camp that the beam should trend (i.e., slant) with the trend of the notes. The level of slant is debatable, but I would do *something* since it gives the eyes a cue of what the notes are *generally* doing so I can anticipate it. This is very import...

Re: WikiHow - Get Perfect Pitch LOL!
How on earth did the graphics person not ask a musically inclined person if it looked "right" or not? My brain hurts... thanks a lot, Fred

Re: Dorico slurs and beams
Fred, that’s a rather unsavory discovery. There was always something that didn’t quite look right to me and I think this must have been it. The curve shoulders visually always stuck out just a little bit more.

Re: Tertiary beams: a case for widening/thickening?
Looking at the first example again, you’ll notice there’s an identical pair of notes in the second measure that looks totally fine by comparison. That groups beams seem to have a little more white space between them. Why is that? Because I adjusted it! (Facepalm) Yes, indeed you said that. Sorry lo...
