Re: Another Beethoven feathered beam?
Could this be another example of Beethoven anticipating our present-day feathered beaming, and would he have written the passage like this if that notation had been used at the time? You could probably drop off the question mark. Admittedly, I am no Beethoven expert, but I can say baroque and late ...

Re: Figured Bass wuth dynamics and tuplets
Just as John says. Dynamics above and figures below, this is the standard in any edition of baroque music. However, as a continuo-player I have to say that there is much to be said in praise of figures above. This is the standard in manuscripts and it’s more logical because this way you have the bas...

Re: Ravel Pavane rhythmical question
Every publisher can present whatever they want and call it an "urtext" edition, and the term has become a selling point, much as "all-natural" or "organic". has become for food. … Since I think that the term urtext has become somewhat tainted, Precisely, a selling poin...

Re: Art song question regarding author name
I’d say you can and should leave out the lyricist’s name since it’s the same for all pieces and it’s already written on the front page, just like you leave out the composer’s name from - say - each of the sonatas in a volume of Mozart Sonatas. The traditional lyricist-on-the-left-composer-on-the rig...

Re: First system indents
ouf, depending on the score, that indent could be MASSIVE if there are a lot of instruments! if one had to make it a perfect square basically no orchestral score would have a first page! LOL Of course. Still, there may be some hidden proportions, after all we are able to see when an indent is too w...

Re: First system indents
A rule of thumb in typography is the first line of the paragraph should have an indent so the white space is a perfect square. Maybe is there something like that for music as well? (Maybe not, after all in typography the first line should not be indented, while for music the first system is the only...

Re: Line/Slur/etc. settings for Dorico
Again thank you so much. Most of your settings are the same than mine, or maybe it is just the default. But I am puzzled by: Gap after flags: -3/4 spaces. I wonder if this could make the tie crash against the flag. I have copied all of your settings when different from mine, and I am going to try th...
