Hi John,
For me, it depends on the genre. When I'm writing jazz, I put my
articulations above the notes. When I'm working on film music, I put
the articulations on the note head side of the notes with exception
of "Carrot"-type accents....those I always put above the notes. The
latter seems to be pretty standard in Hollywood.
Best,
Karen
My reaction was the same, but I have another question. Our
community band is preparing a concert program that includes several
pieces in which all the accents are above the notes, even though
(in the tuba part) the vast majority of notes are stems up on the
staff. Is this an acceptable variation, or a particular
publisher's aberration? It's a bit disconcerting to read, which
tells me it is not standard practice.
