NOTATIO

Thanks - yes, I thought it had come up before.

If an accidental precedes a grace note, but also applies to normal notes that follow, should it be as much reduced in size as the grace notehead (as in the Finale default), or might it with advantage be somewhat larger? An alternative might be to repeat the accidental as it applies to the normal not...

Is there any rational reason other than tradition (OK, not to be undervalued) for the usual insistence that a piece should always end at the bottom of a page? I would draw the line at ending short of the right margin, but whatev...

The second scan (from a few pages earlier) shows a rare example of quadruple dots and also an unusual way of notating artif...

Reviving an old thread; but this excerpt from the conversations with Rohan de Saram by Joachim Steinheuer has something relevant to add on the subject of the <> piano chords in Schumann et al . BTW, this book is absolutely fascinating for anyone interested in the wide-ranging lifetime experiences of...
