NOTATIO

My understanding of rests, which goes beyond 6/8, is that it is preferred to combine the beginning of a beat grouping, but not the end. This is to preserve the quick identification of the location of beat groupings within a bar. Exactly so. The rests have to be counted (thus not played ), and if th...

I only remember seeing the wavy line rarely and only for longish glissandi in piano music. Most examples in the standard literature are written out or indicated with a straight line, both accompanied by "glissando" or "gliss." I would totally agree with that. In the new music (1...

FWIW, I guess I would do it like this: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52722276498_a42837476e_o.png I don't see much point in keeping the archaic repeat convention ("et poi la Coda") so I just used the modern one. Horizontal spacing and all beams and ties are my default settings and a...

I have such cases in a piece I'm currently engraving, see below. UnisonoDivisi.jpg It starts with a divisi but for one single quarter note, both play the same. In this case, I put a2 above to remove any doubt. In fact I didn't do it, it's default in Lilypond. I would put two noteheads in unison, as...

;) ok, a question for you 2nd desk violinists let's say that the passage in question doesn't start on that single note. it's immediately preceded by a musical line with no divisi. that initial D is basically the last note of non-divisi playing for the strings. would you still rather see that unison...

Yes, the last should have "hang" position on the staff-line (no white space!).
You can also try "middle" or "sit" on the line.
