Re: On the use of tablets and BT page turners

that's the brilliant thing about using the ipads for parts...
the concert master can make changes in their part, and other parts will suddenly get the same markings, if that is what is wanted.

Re: On the use of tablets and BT page turners

Three questions: - Does anybody have issues with reflected lights, glare, etc? - Who provides the iPads? Are the performers required to bring their own? - Is there any kind of a backup system if an iPad goes down? 1 - I haven't noticed anyone complain about it. 2 - the ensembles I've worked with, t...

Re: Piano fingering example

Unfortunately, it appears on page 309 of Behind Bars.
Please tell me that it has a paragraph that specifically says "NEVER EVER DO THIS"?

Re: Piano fingering example

the thumb indication in the first and last bars right hand are poorly chosen (as far as I'm concerned) in regard to position. I'd avoid the number entirely and use only the bracket, this one placed always to the left of the notes. the left hand's very first beat, I don't see any reason for the finge...

Re: Piano fingering example

Not necessarily "problematic" (except for that thumb indicator in the right hand first measure) However, I find it nauseatingly excessive, particularly considering the apparent level of difficulty of the music. This level of "fingerings on every single note and chord" is normally...

tremolo notes and ties

I know this topic has come up before, and I'm still not sure how it ended up, or if there is any sort of resolution to it. There are so many examples giving different results, that it's hard to decide which is more "logical". So, what are people's opinions on ties and single-note tremolos?...

Re: divisi to non-divisi notation in strings

would either of you think that the bar with only inside desks having a whole note rest for the outside desks would still make "tutti unis." necessary?

divisi to non-divisi notation in strings

here's a quicky question: I have a one-measure (give or take a beat) passage where the 1st violins divide into two independent parts. During that single measure, the outside desks don't play (whole bar rest) while the inner desks play in unison with violas. The next measure, 1st violins go back to a...

Re: On the use of tablets and BT page turners

I imagine that if the parts being read are PDF files it's easy enough to jut re-insert page 1 (and 2) if there's a da capo, so you'd just continue turning pages. in other words, page 4 would be a copy of page 1.

Re: Dorico development issue

it's important that you POST on the Dorico forum, very detailed (if possible with examples and images) descriptions of these requests.

the Dorico development team ARE very active on the forum, and DO take serious and well-thought requests at heart.
