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.
Thanks, Karen, and thanks to the others who have commented similarly.
I'd say from this that above the note articulations are out of place
in concert band music, but the engraver didn't know that. Our summer
Community Musical this year will be the year 2000 revival of "Kiss
Me, Kate," and I'm hoping against hope that Don Sebesky's revised
charts will be computer engraved and not hand copied by the
contractor's drunk brother-in-law!
