Re: Henle Blog and App
Thanks, Schonbergian. There is a new post on the Henle blog in agreement. Perhaps others will express their opinion. Here is a golden opportunity to express how one feels about the quality of their current engraving directly to Henle...

Re: Pitch bracket notation
This system flies in the face of Western musical notation starting with neumes. Since the 1200-year interaction of our notational system with the development of our music has made the two inseparable, all attempts to severe them have and will fail.

Re: Musicwriter - in use throughout the world
I think that the slurs were probably pressed on with Notaset for short and medium and drawn with instruments for the longer and more complex ones. But I never got to that far...

Re: Henle Blog and App
I just responded to the two comments on my critical post at:

It seems doubtful that Henle would use an army of freelancers, but if there are only three engravers on staff, they are working very hard!

Re: Musicwriter - in use throughout the world
When I was a student in NYC, I spent several weeks engraving on one of those for a small choral music publisher. They were happy to give me one-on-one instruction, since so few people knew how to use one. Coordinating music and text was harrowing. I eventually quit to have more time for piano practi...

Re: Brahms vs Joachim on articulation
It's a two-level legato mark. They begin to be seen in the later Romantic stye, but I have seen them in earlier manuscripts (but usually omitted by the composer or editor in the first editions as esoteric.) Classic style composers could use short legato slurs without fear of performers clipping the ...

Re: The treble clef as handwritten by great composers
I agree completely with jan. odod's new font is an instant classic, and I want to buy a copy as soon as it is available for Finale.

Re: Composers vs Engravers: Contraindications
I am sorry, Schonbergian, but I'd have to see examples to comment further. As far as I know, Bach adhered to the standard beaming rules used for instrumental and vocal music used up until the relatively recent time when some composes started to beam vocal music like instrumental music.
