NOTATIO

Thanks for your reply, John, which is much appreciated!
Cheerio,
HP.

Here is what it looks like with the fractional beam sitting on top of the bottom staff line. The problem with this is that the fractional beam interferes with the bottom stave-line (Gould mentions that there must be one clear stave-line between the innermost beam and the first ledger-line; p.19). Sc...

Hi all, Should I (or should I not) lengthen the stems of the tied notes to match the preceding beam's height? (I should mention that I chose the beam height so as to keep the lower of the fractional beams higher than the bottom staff line). Screen Shot 2023-03-21 at 4.26.47 pm.png Thanks as always! ...

Thanks, John! Appreciated. I'm 8 pages into the beam-editing of my score now and my beaming looks better for all the attention I'm paying to it and for all the helpful advice I've received here on the forum! Many thanks

Cheers,
HP.

Update: I think I've found another way which avoids a hang at the ascent of beam, and the beam angle is 1.75 spaces which is apparently within the satisfactory range. So, I think I'll proceed with this, unless anyone else suggests better! Screen Shot 2023-03-06 at 2.38.57 pm.png Thanks to all for to...

Dear Brainstrust, As you might suspect by now, I am attempting to improve my understanding of beaming rules (position / angle) with the Ted Ross book as my main guide. I spent a long time today working this beam out. I still don't think I've quite nailed it..... I'm within the 1.25 – 1.75 beam angle...

That's great, thanks Fred and John.
Cheers,
HP.

Update:
After re-reading Ted Ross p.125, I explored the Secondary Beam angle tool (in Finale) and respaced the beams. Do you reckon I've got it right?
With thanks,
Hector.

Hi all, If I get the primary beam to hang, straddle or sit appropriately, I encounter a problem with the secondary beams. And vice versa. From my reading on the subject, I understand I need to keep the top staff line clear. Any advice is welcome! Screen Shot 2023-02-28 at 2.44.06 pm.png PS: I'm usin...

Thanks again, John!
