I am working on a cut version of Some Else's Story from the conductor's score of Chess.
I have noticed that in some place, a progression of four eighth notes will be beamed together, but in other places not. There is nothing obvious that sets them apart: no articulations or slurs. Since I have noticed that conductor's scores can be filled with errors, I am wondering if this is error or actually something that would indicate phrasing for the keyboardist. Also, in the last two measures of the piano accompaniment of the piece there is a whole note chord tied to a half note chord in the last measure. It is interrupted by a run of eighth notes which begins in the bass clef and crosses the path of the tied chords. In the score, the copyist has broken the ties to allow the eighth notes to be visible. Playback is not important on this job, so I created the ties reaching out from the whole notes with let it ring noteheads from the Engraver font. It works quite nicely because the top two notes of the chord must have ties which arch upward, and the bottom note must have one which arches downward. I can't use this solution with the ties which reach backward from the half note chord, as there is not let it ring notehead which reaches to the left. If I use the tie backward function, to create the backward-reaching ties from the half note chord, they reach across the eighth note run to the whole note chord. If I use the Special Tools ties going backward and shorten them to accommodate the eighth notes, I cannot flip the two top note ties upward. Or, actually, I can't flip them at all. This is not very important, as the singer requesting the work will most likely not even notice this small discrepancy, but I am wondering how to work this out for a time when it does matter Thanks, Crystal Premo [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
