Lyrics in foreign language: italics of not?
In a passage like this (poem is set and original in English), should words like "adieu" be put in Italics? Screenshot 2024-03-14 at 22.36.49.png When I learned of the rule of putting foreign words in Italic it was 2008, and since then I've seen it both ways. What is your opinion and experi...

Re: An Extreme "Measure"
Still... amazingly clear!
I wish more modern composers had this kind of clarity (and no, composing AT the computer is something else! )

Re: An Extreme "Measure"
How much do you think may vertical spacing have influenced in all this?
The second beat of the second system can't go up *also* because it would collide with the slur, in addition to all you already said.

Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
I've used a straight brace in the past, didn't like it too much, switched for a brace. Most if not all the editions of that time only had parts, not a score. The autograph from Dotzauer's method, though, uses braces for the cello duets so, perhaps, it is a subconscious tradition! PS: Dotzauer & ...

Re: Rhythmical alignment between voices
Now the 6:1 works, but until Dorico was quit and relaunched it would not cope.
Here's another solution, assuming the piano would be right.
Your second solution, which merges yours and mine together, appears to be the neatest one.

Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
Ahah, sorry, it lacked a tiny bit of context!
These are duets for two cellos, and the numbers are fingerings, yes!

Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
Here’s an excerpt from an edition I’ve recently curated. IMG_1886.jpeg The first edition (Breitkopf, 1840) has the centred beam as I’ve decided to keep, while the two revisions that followed (Breitkopf & Litolff, both 1890-1910, not sure of the exact date) forced the beam all in one direction—wh...

Re: Rhythmical alignment between voices
I will try again in the morning and post some pictures as well!
Why the composer wrote the F with fermata as an 8th instead of a 16th is a mystery

Re: Another Beethoven centered beam
Good choice, John!
A pain to realise, perhaps, but much more expressive!

Re: Rhythmical alignment between voices
To try to make the 16th of the cello align with the 8th of the voice and the following 16th contain everything else before the fermata, I tried to do a 2:1 16ths for the F and a 6:1 16ths for the rest, but Dorico would not let me do it. Upon writing 6:1 16ths it would overflow in the next bar for re...
