uncertain meter
Not sure if I have notated meas.7 correctly. The bracket notes should sound the same as all the other 8th notes, but if I write them as 8th notes, I’d have to change the time signature of that measure to 9/8. Thanks.

Re: accidentals (corrected)
Thanks. I like your keen observation about swapping places. Basically what I want is the appearance of 4ths but I see that this will result in a coupla strange-looking spellings. So, as I mentioned to Mr. Ward (above) as long as the overall impression is clear then I'm OK with it. I certainly don't ...

Re: accidentals (corrected)
Thanks. I'm gathering that there is no rule, therefore "best judgment" might be the guiding principle (not using the word "rule.) I am one who prefers easy-to-read visuals, generally. None of the options is perfect, but as long as the overall impression is clear, then fine with me.

Re: Beethoven Brainteaser 3
Just my opinion, the treble clef is intended. Both versions "work" however. That first leap is IMO quite awkward however that would not have stopped Beethoven. There is a terribly awkward leap in the 1st mvt. of his Emperor Concerto.

Re: Piano fingering example
Agree with MichelRE above. The excessive fingering - although the composer may have thought it helpful - would only help to discourage me from this piece. Not all hands or approaches to fingering are the same.

accidentals (corrected)
I'm interested in knowing what is the "correct" notation for the
attached passage, particularly the dyads moving downward. For my
taste I'd like them to appear as fourths, to be visually pleasing.
But I'd also like them to follow the rule of flattening the succeeding
notes because the passage is ...

Re: DaFalla piece
S..t! You have uncovered a ongoing weakness in me, in that I am location oriented to such a degree that if an object is not in its usual location, I might not find it, even if it's only inches away. Thank you for your comment. I have learned my lesson.

DaFalla piece
I've attached a section from Da Falla's Ritual Fire Dance, a piano arrangement. I have a question about line 3, meas.4. Probably few would think the E in the LH is anything but E-natural. But technically speaking, should that E have a courtesy accidental? I'm thinking that there are two voices (the ...

Re: Fandango
Thanks. I am unsure as to whether Soler meant to continue the double stems for the meas.3 LH pattern. So far, I'm playing the two measures differently and continuing that way throughout. I dunno, I might change my mind.
