NOTATIO

(The only problem I see with Finale is that the beaming angle makes it difficult to create different custom tremolos. I mean, you can create, but there will be to many. I am not sure if a plug-in would be able to solve it.) Even if you did create many of them, you might still need different ones in...

If hand-written parts are well made and perfectly legible, I don't see any reason to re-typeset them just for the sake of having them typeset. Having seen some bits of your manuscripts, David, I dare presume this is exactly the case and that redoing them is not worth the trouble. Re-typesetting them...

An older Henle edition at http://conquest.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/a/a8/IMSLP38674-PMLP02062-Schubert-4Impromptus-Op90-ed-Henle.pdf has the same modernization, although there is a note indicated, probably to the critical report, that is unavailable on the file. Not the same modernization. The...

I can think of only one possible explanation for this anomaly: it positions the fermata under the more important tone (or more from the engraving point of view: the outer note), E. Later the passage occurs in the recap in C# major with the fermata positioned OVER the more important (or outer) tone,...

Those clefs were requested by Emil Wojtacki, an engraver who works primarily on Polish and other eastern European music, and has done with work with major publishers of this repertoire, such as PWM. These clefs apparently came into use in the middle of the 20th century to more clearly indicate the ...

My point was that I have never seen slash notation used in the figured bass used in music analysis; therefore the interval figures used with these octave signs in Bravura seems to me to be more in the music analysis style and, for the same reason, the accidental should precede the number because th...

However, when we look at a Monteverdi original autograph, we see that the composer did something different: he uses what to me looks like a Iong(us) rest, which differentiates it from the breve and whole-note rest that follow. Judging from a few other examples, Monteverdi's practice seems to make t...

However, I could imagine it being useful to employ, for the horn, a bass clef with 5 below. [...] Ted Ross' book features this exact application, and it's worth noting that this is the only glyph in this particular SMuFL group featuring the bass clef (or any clef besides treble for that matter). I ...

Actually, the numbers used with these clefs does not appear to be figured bass of the practical type at all, since #'s are used instead of the slashes through the numbers that are most common in figured bass notation. The slashes are indeed common in practical figured bass (I wouldn't dare to say &...

I have never before seen a treble clef with 9b on top either, but... to specifically answer OCTO's original question:
Logically, a treble clef with 9b on top must mean: this will sound a minor 9th higher.
So, what existing instrument sounds a minor 9th above written pitch?
It's Piccolo in D flat.
