Jef — If I’m understanding the issue clearly, my suggestion would be to use whichever transposition keeps the notated keyboard part in the same written key as the piano.
Keyboard and piano are the same performer, no? Then to me that would be easiest for the player. Keeping it in the same key as the vibraphone is immaterial, IMO. Hope this is a helpful suggestion! — Mike > On Jul 15, 2017, at 6:46 AM, SN jef chippewa <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > it is notated indeed transposed and that is part of the issue, but > not from the traditional standpoint. i can choose to transpose the > keyboard up or down, meaning a G3/4# in the score appears in the part > as: > 1) A when the electronic keyboard is tuned down a quarter tone > 2) G# when the electronic keyboard is tuned up a quarter tone > > both are "right" (both the same interval of transposition, but in a > different direction) but in (1) the advantage is that the electronic > instrument is tuned down, as is the quarter tone vib used in the same > piece, whereas in (2) the advantage is that pitch names ("G" here) > remains the same throughout the score. > > it only matters for practicality which direction we use, but i need > to decide before continuing doing the keyboard part. > > >> Sorry I just don't understand why you don't treat it like a >> transposing instrument and just notate it as you would a trumpet or >> alto sax? > > -- > > neueweise -- fonts for new music (and traditional) notation > http://newmusicnotation.com/fonts.html > > shirling & neueweise | http://newmusicnotation.com > new music notation + arts management + translation > [FB] http://facebook.com/neueweise | [TW] http://twitter.com/neueweise > > _______________________________________________ > Finale mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale > > To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: > [email protected] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
