the image you posted has the hairpins crossing stems.

maybe some misguided effort to have the voice avoid doing an a-mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn rather then an a-meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?

it's a hand-written score, I'd chalk it up to a writing error.

I figure that as long as the text indications are clear and unambiguous, that is all that matters. In the particular example we were discussing in another thread (an indication for piano pedal use), I think attempting to use a standardiz/sed ;) Italian indication COULD lead to more problems than sol...

GB English versus US English. I'm not sure if you are referencing my comment regarding the word staff/stave, but I'm not American. In Canada we use GB spelling in general. And the use of stave in the singular, while not incorrect, is not "the GB" way of writing it. It is ONE OF the ways t...

you can take what you want from what that teacher said, but it's irrelevant to the discussion in question here.

you are comparing things that are not equivalent.

there is a distinct difference between "start with Bach-style inventions", which implies a lack of basic craft and requires years of work to gain such, and "start with a smaller less-complex project", which implies a lack of basic familiarity with the particular software, and can...

John, that's where the use of "con ped. sempre" (or even "alla fine") would differentiate from simply writing "ped. alla fine". though I image someone could write something very specific like "tieni ped. (fino) alla fine" or something. seeing "con ped. se...
