NOTATIO

Hmmm, my first thought is that Debussy might want the sound of those dotted half notes in the bass to blend into the following tones, or somehow taper or sort of evaporate using judicious pedaling ... Being un-dotted, the low Bb half note in the left hand of the last bar of your excerpt seems like a...

Thanks for the reply, John! The corrections look great. I will also check for any forbidden rests! I found also that Debussy's Clair de Lune seems to be a handy reference for 9/8 music notation conventions.

Hi all,

Many thanks for the advice! :) Re the centering of the fermata, I had assumed that Finale's default positioning (which takes the dot of the rest into consideration when positioning the fermata) might have had some time-honoured reason for being, though I suspect otherwise now. Here also is a Henle S...

Hi all,
In this piano measure, I am going to put a fermata above the left hand rest (the left hand rest is a Finale default rest). Would that be the correct action?
