OCTO. Beethoven's slurring is retained in the new Wiener Urtext Edition. This is one reason why I generally prefer this edition over Henle for the works of most composers: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/piano-sonata-c-minor-op-10-no-1-sheet-music/5676513 It also appears to be respected in the n...

I find the text font to be a little too bold for my taste, but well-balanced within itself. So I do differ with OCTO on the latter point. Is it possible that you might supply the font in several weights between regular and bold? (Perhaps there are already other names for this besides "semi-bold...

You've got all the answers tonight, Ere. (-: I just opened Arnold's The Art of Accompaniment from a Thorough Bass and in the first example I see a 6b rubbing shoulders with a b7. Never noticed it before. My appalling lack of continuo experience has been revealed to the world. That is also an excelle...

And 1# as opposed to #1 for intervals? Never saw it before. It's #1 in all the figured bass I've ever seen.

This thread recaps and continues a subject that just arose on the MakeMusic Forum: See http://forum.makemusic.com/default.aspx?f=5&m=467755 ) Elaine Gould has, as usual, a flexible approach to slurs in combination with tied notes, and allows the slur to not encompass all the tied notes if there ...

I smell an absurd desire for "completeness", i.e., if there is a treble sign with a 8 symbol, why not one with a 1, a 2, a 3 etc? Wait, why not one with a 1#, a 2# etc. (Shouldn't that be #1, #2?) And why not double sharps and flats? And in all clefs, including alto and tenor? And now that...

It is beautiful, Knut. We do have a different slant on this. I actually prefer a difference between the dynamic markings and the text expressions, with the text expressions lighter in appearance, for the reason that I mentioned earlier, that I view them as helpful hints that should not carry the &qu...

Schenker never used such aberrations, and I hope no current or future analyst would either.

That's what I keep telling myself: that they are pixel distortion and won't be visible. I reached the point where the smoothing was starting to detract from the overall shape, so there I stopped for now, at least. I am sure that I will look it over again and improve it some more when I am more profi...
