Re: Clef design comparision

Sorry, it is hard to elaborate in any language: I don't have the proper knowledge of that terms! :) Screen shot 2015-10-09 at 8.39.47 AM.png I will "describe" like this: The red and orange lines are to expressive. Particularly it is true for the orange. In my opinion they take to much forc...

BW-balance

For a longer time I have tried to define why some score looks good and another doesn’t. I come up with a term “BW-balance” (black/white-balance). What I mean about it is the following: 1. If we look at page of a score, catching the whole page at once, harmonious look of that page occurs in a correct...

Re: Simplify notes

Agree! The trill with appoggiatura is a much better solution.

Re: Clef design comparision

I have never seen a treble clef that I have loved without reservation, and Fred's group is no exception. Is it possible that the symbol is simply impossible to make beautiful? I totally agree.

Re: 12/8 Question

I remember playing Wagner's Tannhäuser overture: in the first violins (and others as well) there is a place with falling :2 in enormous quick tempo, three or four pages, I can't remember now.

Re: Clef design comparision

For :t My favorites (in favorite order): 2, 5, 7. 2 and 7 are very similar. I have used mostly 2 and 5. 5 is somewhat small, but very balanced. I almost don't notice it - it can quickly be "digested"... If I can vote for the most ugly it is 3 and 4. 3 - very thin and "strange" in...

Re: No tiff-pictures

It is possible to embed:
.gif
.jpg
.jpeg
.png

All others extensions are possible to attach as documents, including .pdf .mus .sib .ai .zip an so on.

I highly recommend jpeg/jpg and png as embedded pictures
