I use reduced-size notation to indicate editorial additions, and it
would be useful to be able to extend this convention to the above
elements.
I am surprised that augmentation dots and beams on notes are not
reduced in size along with the notes that you reduced. Are you sure
that they AREN'T reduced already? How did you reduce the notation to
start with?
Christopher
The special reductions I want are to indicate that the composer notated
two 8th notes (e.g.) but they should have been 16ths, or that he failed
to include a required augmentation dot. These are both very common MS
errors.
In the first case, the 8th note beam is correct, but the second beam is
editorial, and in the second case the notehead is correct, but the dot
is editorial.
Especially for big scores such as symphonies, I try to keep the
critical report as compact as possible, and I do this by including as
much editorial info as possible in the body of the score itself. If I
don't have, say, a thin subsidiary beam, then I have to critically
report the altered note values which that beam represents.
