I am writing a large ensemble work, a saxophone concerto. The
first
movement is in 8/4. It has got to be an 8/4 because I am
constantly
shifting the 3+3+2 to 3+2+3 and 2+3+3 quality of beat emphasis and
phrasing. The sax has 16th notes, often enough. This question
may be a
bit premature, but I am worried about the smashing and stretching
of
measures that could occur. Does anyone have experience with this?
And
is there a possibility of cutting a measure off and finishing it
on
another page?
Yes, as long as there is a place in the
measure where all sounding notes end
simultaneously. A line break can be permitted
or even forced at that point. See
"Bar lines" in section 1.2.5 Bars in the
Notation Reference.
