NOTATIO

Advise needed for placing figured bass. A bass staff of a Trio-Sonata contains a lot of fig. bass numbers and also dynamics E.g. like this: 02-02-2025_18-36-01.png Often figures and dynamics a applied to the same note. What would be your advise for this situation. Leave it as it is? Move dynamics to...

In the score of a Graupner symphony the slurs between note pairs are placed very inconsistently and against the modern rules, which state: slur below if and only if all stems are pointing upwards. Look at the pickup eighth-notes a in the example, leading to notes of pitches c, d, e or f , the pickup...

Flauto 1: just some arbitrary details: 1. bar 6: "p dolce" I would prefer it on a common baseline 2. bar 7: slur should be closer approaching the end note (slur could be perfectly symmetric) 3. bar 30: a bar rest within stafflines should be attached to a staffrule instead of hanging free b...

Simple Rule: Use extender in lyrics, if it is the last or only syllable of a word and spans more than one note.
Exception: Omit it, if it gets very short.

You understand it perfectly. It is kind of cue, that was the reason for a small staff.
The alternatives that I consider are those:

Trillsymbol Dots Waveline and the same again but with interrupted staff lines:

A Graupner Cantata is being prepared to be debut-performed by the Thomaner-Chor, Leipzig. The editor and engraver - himself a conductor - wants to provide parts, which help the player to follow the music easily. So when a voice has a tacet-piece, instead of the usual "tacet" text he provid...

Amadeus? Is that their in-house one? No, not in-house. Amadeus was a brilliant program, which initially was delivered on a DMA-dongle for Atari-Computers including an operating system 'idris' (unix like) and producing excellent engraved scores, en par with Score, the only real competitor at that ti...

The bars 107 to 110 contain a threefold slow down on an identical rhythmical pattern. This is, was dominates the music here. And the beaming reflects that exactly. So this makes sense in my opinion. A division at the beat would not only bring clutter, it would also make the rhythmical idea of that s...

Thanks for all the suggestions an comments. My application case is the notation of christian-orthodox church music. The reason for me to look for a single term is profane: PriMus 2.0 will support this notation easier and better and for that it would be helpful to have a short term rather than a long...

Several notes sung over over a single Syllable is referred to as Melisma.
But what about the opposite, i.e. several words written under a single note?
Is there a coined term too?
