Re: On Beaming
Check out measures 22, 33, 36, etc. It's just one example and the first thing I clicked on so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but m36 looks pretty awful to my eye: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/587/22517319725_27b3516f6a_z.jpg Many things are pretty awful here, not just for you. It seems ...

Re: 12/8 Question
quarter rests in ⅜? generally not, but some prefer to have quarter rests leading the beat (despite the rules for ¾ etc). This provides consistency with 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 etc. I think the reason for that is that 3/8 should be interpreted as simple time but not compound time signature. So, rests at odd-...

That was extremely helpful. I didn't know for this particular calculation.Knut wrote: Here's an illustration of how the reference point for dynamics might be defined in different ways:

Re: Spatial piece
Not to sound too condescending, but if the score is supposed to be in spatial notation (as in "horizontal space on the page corresponds to absolute time"), indications like metronome marks are pretty meaningless. As are ritardandi and fermatas. While I totally understand your comment, her...

Spatial piece
Page no2 from an earlier work. Feel free to comment and suggest improvements.
It was performed numerous times from the score, 11 pages in total. All musicians had A3 size, no conductor. It was not problem at all.

Beam thickness
From the another topic's post: Beam thickness is not something that I have delved into yet, so I just use the Finale default. I always liked more fat beams. They represent musical shapes and notehead movements in a more visually appealing way. This is example of a theory test I did a long time ago. ...

Re: Dynamics: the optical center
Ha!. There will always be different opinions when aesthetic judgement is involved. I think we both have similar view of what feels right, but mine is perhaps half a space further to the left. Neither are incorrect as there is no fixed rule. I also like more as you do. I think it is visually problem...

Re: On Beaming
Fred, you are absolutely right that the rules should (must) be followed, at least to have consensus about it. Otherwise, in the engraving jobs there are plenty of people who don't have a slightest idea how notation works, and they would end up with terrible scores which they call "great".....
