Hi All;
After reading your thoughts on the above subject, I have put my whole
piece is 6/4. If it has a feeling based on 2 dotted half notes, I'll
notated it that way. If it feels like 3 half notes then I will notated
it that way. This is a jazz piece and must be treated that way. The
whole subject came up because I asked a studio copiest.
The subject of articulations was brought up. If I don't have all of the
articulations shown, then it can take a lot of time answering questions.
There are times when I will write 2 quarter notes. some of the band will
have long-short. Others will have short-long. I love to do this on
unisons. However, it does cause a lot of questions. I usually tell
everyone up front that the articulations are correct.
For me it comes down to Bill Duncan's rule. "Be impossible to
misunderstand".
Thank you all for a wonderful response.
Bob Florence
