Gardener Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Oh! That's funny since loco can also be a cancellation of 8va. Loco as a playing description should probably go above the staff, but I'd consider using a different word if you have it near the 8va! I've never heard of "loco" being used as a playing description either. The way I used it was meant to explicitly cancel the transposition -after- the glissando part. "Loco" stands for "in place" and, as mentioned, usually means the cancelation of 8va parts - but also other forms of transpositions (although it clearly appears most often after an 8va/15ma/8vb). Using it right below an octava will definitely be confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 I think I'm confusing the term, it wasn't "Loco" ... the name for the crazy fast rubato... I'll recall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
