NOTATIO

Oh, and now I looked at the first movement. The introduction is “getheilt zu drei gleichen Theilen” = “divided into three equal parts”. The main theme after the introduction starts “Alle unisono” = “tutti unisono”.

I just played Mahler’s 1st symphony. He writes very clearly what he wants (although in german): Bildschirmfoto vom 2023-09-19 18-03-00.png The cellos are “geth.” = “getheilt” = “divisi”, then in the second line only the “1te Hälfte” = “1st half” continues. At rehearsal mark 13 “Alle” play which simp...

Just open the instruments panel on the left and drag the ossia staff with the mouse (see attached screen recording video).

It has always to stay free because the license doesn’t allow otherwise. The subscription instead fuels the professional development leading to the massive engraving improvements and better usability. However, that doesn’t invalidate your point about copyrighted music.

I have a question about scordatura for string instruments. My current knowledge comes from being an experienced cello player who has gone through Bach V, Kodaly solo sonata, and Dutilleux Trois Strophes. In all those cases, the notation is "transposed", that is "show me what to play ...
