NOTATIO

thank-you Anders, Oboe, and Octo.

Thanks Anders, somehow, I was thinking the same thing, even if "technically" they ARE playing in unison at that point.

I am of the opinion that indication of a divisi section should start slightly before the actual divisi when notes are beamed. When the divisi itself starts on the 1st beat of a measure, or on the 2nd beat of a measure within a beamed group, it's easy to simply create a note with stems in two directi...

I'd avoid the number entirely and use only the bracket, this one placed always to the left of the notes. the left hand's very first beat, I don't see any reason for the finge...

Not necessarily "problematic" (except for that thumb indicator in the right hand first measure) However, I find it nauseatingly excessive, particularly considering the apparent level of difficulty of the music. This level of "fingerings on every single note and chord" is normally...

I know this topic has come up before, and I'm still not sure how it ended up, or if there is any sort of resolution to it. There are so many examples giving different results, that it's hard to decide which is more "logical". So, what are people's opinions on ties and single-note tremolos?...
