Re: Combining a rest
No, it wasn't you who were dense, it was me. It had slipped my mind that you can double-click on the boxes in Beam Extension Tool and select which beam(s) to extend. I'm sorry! But I think I might have found an even better solution to the problem all the same. Using 'Extend secondary beams over rest...

Re: Combining a rest
I'm sorry, John, but have you tried that on secondary beams (in Finale, as the OP uses that program)? As far as I know that works with primary beams only. So, both ways it's impossible (still in Finale): Without 'extend secondary beams ove rests' you can't extend the 32nd beams (in my A above) with ...

Re: Combining a rest
Actually you may get unbroken secondary beams with Document Options > Beams > Extend secondary beams over rests. Unfortunately there's a severe limitation in Finale: While this option works well for A below, it doesn't for B. So, if you have a rhythm similar to B in your composition, I'm afraid this...

Re: Combining a rest
I agree with both David and John. Definitely not a combined rest here because it's followed by other notes on the same beat. And, broken secondary beams (like on the last eighth) can make the notation look much more complicated than it is. In my opinion it's also rather ugly, but that's me, not Fina...

Re: Position of clef change
Many composers have combined the two systems in just the way that you are describing. I think that that is probably the best course. I agree! Minting hard rules is risky as we've seen with Gould. Just a tiny detail: In your example, David, you place the bass clef before the eighth rest in m. 146, b...

Re: Interesting notation in Henle
According to my Italian dictionary 'acciaccatura' may mean 'bruise', so maybe you should use them with some caution.

Re: Dotted minim (half) rest?
Here (in 4/4), it feels more adequate to show the middle of the measure. (Notes don't have to, but rests do.)

Re: A note in Rachmaninoff
I remember a phrase in contemporary music during the 80's I think it was when an amazingly dissonant piece would suddenly end with some soothing major and minor triads. The relief was palpable in the audience who were convinced that they had just heard something quite profound and wonderful. Sounds...

Re: A note in Rachmaninoff
Just a thought: R. seems to place contrasting chords on the last (dotted quarter) beat of the measure. I can't say I hear what he plays actually, but it seems logical that the chord in question should be quite clearly contrasting. The harmony D#-6 (+5 if you like) with a flatted 3 on top is rather m...
