Subject: Re: losing a bar number when the first beat is irregular
If a piece starts with an incomplete measure this measure doesn't have a
number
Well, thanks. I've searched on "beyond bars" 2011 ed. but I wasn't able to
find a reference to this problem. Nor I was able to found a way in the
index: no "irregular beats". Maybe it's hidden in another chapter.
But I thought I should make like I saw in the score I'm transcribing (and
I
admit I'm only a beginner, a newbie). And that should mean that some
commercial sheet music are realized without respecting some basic rules,
and
that they can confuse a beginner like me; isn't it, what do you say?
Thanks
again.
The rule for setting music is that a bar that is just an upbeat, or
anacrusis, does not count for bar numbering. The first bar is the first
full bar.
