Re: Scores in C or transposing?
Octo, we are all different, with different needs and different inclinations. I'm rather fluent in transposition up to a point, but even if it would be nice to be better at that, as with anything, there are so many other things I'd rather develop as a musician. So, for me, writing scores in C is not ...

Re: Scores in C or transposing?
The laziness of this topic equals learning G clef only and expecting everything else outside it to be written in octave (8va). The bass clef is visually transposed G clef, and vice versa. Just learn damn transposition. It is as difficult as learning riding a bike. Octo, why so harsh on us who haven...

Re: Placement of tuplets
Thank you for actually giving me an answer to my question, John! Your explanation of why this rule has become a rule is rather plausible, I think. I still wonder why it has become such a hard rule - at least in some quarters. In the 20th century scores I looked into, there was a number of 'inconsist...

Re: Placement of tuplets
By the way, with kind help from my client, the publisher, the composer at last agreed that my pragmatic treatment of tuplet indications were quite OK. Or quite good even.
I'm still curious about the origin of 'the hard rule' however.

Re: Placement of tuplets
Your general survey of the evolution of music notation is pretty much what I think myself, and not really what I was asking, Shinohara. My question was much more specific. When and why did the basic rule of tuplet placement emanate? Possibly it's impossible to find an answer to that question, but I'...

Placement of tuplets
In a job with avantgarde music I'm working on, I've encountered a problem with the placement of tuplet signs (numbers and brackets). The composer claims that they should always be placed on the "right side" of the staff - the stem side - and asked me to change several hundreds of them that...

Re: Enharmonic symbol
Having browsed through the thread, I find that one solution is missing. The simplest, and least harmful IMO.
The equal sign has been suggested already, and really says it all. The parenthesis is important, I think, to show that it's just a reminder, not a new information.- 22 Jan 2024, 19:30

Re: Enharmonic symbol
I've decided to add a cautionary accidental to the first note, which should be sufficient help, without muddying the waters too much. The placement of the cautionary accidental after the "problematic" note (in David's example F#) seems more logical than before it. The second alternative i...
