NOTATIO

I'm thinking from the point of view of consistency. Would it be inconsistent to have the "gliss" text appear only in the 1st appearance of a gliss (let's say I have a few glisses in a row), then repeating later in the score where needed? And to completely leave the text out of the harp par...

well, my own music is a bit on the tamer side, not quite as "adventurous".

so would you be a proponent of, for example, harp and trombone glissandi without the "gliss." text?

A comment made on the Dorico forum got me thinking about this and wondering if standards might have changed in recent years. With certain instruments, a line from one note to another is "obviously" a glisssando. For example, in a trombone part I don't think anyone would question what that ...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have NO idea and think it's stupid that they don't even give a resource on where to learn how to write using this "standard". Like I said, the only example I could find online (that did not involve paying a monthly fee to access scores) included ONLY the woodwinds, with no indi...

personally, I find it stupidly fussy to include a number for every woodwind within the square brackets. it seems ONLY the instruments involved in any sort of doubling really need to be mentioned. and according to their guidelines, if an instrument is playing the doubling instrument throughout, then ...

ok, well, there have been changes I think, because that is no longer considered the "Daniels Instrumentation Standard". It has gotten rather convoluted and overly complicated. your example (assuming "doubling" means playing both main instrument and auxiliary) would come out somet...

I'm submitting a work to an orchestra, and this is the first time I get such a nit-picky answer... the instrumentation MUST be written in the "Daniels Instrumentation Standard". I'd never heard of it before, and could find only VERY minimal information on how to write it out. On the Daniel...
