I did 't know where to post this.... Well, that's the question: Dorico by Steingberg. I downloaded the trial version, which is full functional for a month. I was determined to work a bit with it, and I watched several tutorials on youtube. At first, it was a mess because the shortcuts...

Hello, I am really interested in composing graphic notation music, so I searched on the internet for a free notation software that has been designed for this purpose. Unfortunately, I could not find anything. Do you know a graphic notation programm? If so, what is the name and where can...

Hey there, had a quick notational question: I noticed that some composer put beams over rests, like the image I attached. Is this a useful/preferred technique, or is it completely personal preference to the composer? Thanks a lot!

In regards to what is more comfortable to read, I have been struggling between 2 ways of notating the same 6/8 rhythm. using ties not using ties Which, out of the 2 bars above, is the preferred way to notate such rhythms for the sake of simplicity and quick understanding b...

Hi all, After my secondary school I want to study either Classical Saxophone or Composition. When I am chatting with Composition professors, it seems to me that they prefer composing on paper and then they notate in a notation program. I have tried it several times to compose on paper,...

I'm sure that most of you know that writing out music is very time consuming, whether you're spending 20 minutes on drawing your staff neatly for your notes to sit on, or constantly erasing notes on Finale because your mouse slipped by a centimeter and placed a Snare Drum buzz roll instead of a rim...

Question 1 (fermata): Which one do you prefer? (in case you're wondering, 2 is correct: the 3/4 meter is just implied) My main concern is if this use of the fermata is correct, since we know that generally it is used when a section of the piece ends (and the performer kind of takes a breath), or wh...

I've been working on an opera project with some colleagues for a long while, and some of it requires custom notation. After much discussion, we’ve come up with notation for chromatic/atonal mordents pictured above. These would completely replace the classical mordents we know from the Baroque, s...

"Sempre" means "always". So "sempre staccato" means that you have to play staccato the entire part/section. But in italian it also means "again", "still", "even now". My question is, can "sempre" be used as a reminder? For example, a section is "più mosso". A...

Are there any conventional style rules for how to divide up a rest for best read-ability? For instance, if I'm in 6/8 time, and a part has a 1/16 pickup note to a measure, how would you choose to write the rest before the 1/16 note? A dotted quarter rest, followed by a quarter rest, followed by a...

Hello one and all. I recently had a school I worked at ask me to write a piece for their middle school band. I'll be honest and confess it has been a very very long time since I reviewed percussion notation (I've been teaching LA not music) and was wondering if anyone had any advice about writi...

Hi ppl! I am looking for a composition-software. I know programms which only allow you to type in notes in a notation view but I also need a piano-roll (like the one in Fruity-Loops or Logic, Garage-Band, etc..). It is also very important that I can integrate VSTs like "The Grand 3" or "Alicia... -
Hey all, I am trying to find a method to notate key velocities of notes in my finale files. These scores were made from midi files composed and exported from my daw. The velocity data cannot be expressed with automated standard dynamic markings as I mean to express the volume of every indiv...

So, this is what I have trouble with, the one bar: And this is what it sounds like, and it sounds right: http://www.impetus-aesthetica.com/pianoquestion.mp3 My question is what is the proper way to notate this? -
I mostly compose directly in software. One of the things I find is hard during the composition process is pressing the delete key when something isn't working quite right. I don't want to lose some fragment that I might want later on, but on the other hand, I don't want to keep it around cluttering...

http://opinionator.b...lines/?emc=eta1 Go ahead and read that. I think it would make an interesting discussion. The article discusses non-standard notation and its effectiveness in the long run. :)
