not to mention it being reactionary and in fact completely beside the point. alto clefs (ever heard of this instrument called the viola?) and tenor (bsn, vc, cb) clefs figure prominently in concert pitch scores. some people may not use them here or there (or at all), but i don't see how you can jump to make such a condescending remark that just because the score is in concert pitch, the "advocate" can't read C clefs. >I think "concert pitch" scores make a lot of sense for contemporary pieces they are in fact essential in many cases. i am working on a score that has 12-tone, 1/4-tone, 1/8-tone and even 1/16-tone passages, 82 players, incl. 50 strings all notated on separate staves. i think no conductor on earth would prefer a transposed score here. he would be my hero if he did though (e.h., 4cl, 3hn, 4tpt to extract). _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
