Re: Installment 1 of my Orchestration In Depth series is now available

Hey, thanks for asking. I began the main authoring in iBooks Author, and did it there for about 85% of the book, and then had to switch to Pages for the remainder because Apple discontinued iBooks Author and transferred that responsibility to Pages. All of the graphics were illustrated in EazyDraw, ...

Re: Augmentation dots

Whatever else you do I think you need to get those wayward dots in the treble to vertically align with the lefthand dots. Check Gould page 64 for tie options.

In fact, although I don't like the more drastic slants of the original, I still prefer it overall since there is a least a little bit of a stem on the b...
