I made mention of these things in one of the earlier posts:

Quote:
Differing textures that appropriately highlight the selected text - this includes things like key changes, tempo changes, dynamics, articulation, and even changes in the accompaniment. It also includes effective settings of text - examples: where to use a melody in unison or octaves - or where to switch from two-part writing to four-part.


And also using more exclusionary language:


Quote:
-Poorly executed setting of text - such as the ineffective use of melismas if applicable
-Inappropriately or awkwardly set accents (one of my pet peeves).
Is this what you mean?
