Hi Ron, 2010/1/6 Ron Andrico <[1][email protected]>
Bruno: The conventional two-stave keyboard transcription is probably the most useful and appropriate format for academic purposes. So I think. If you want the transcription to be user-friendly, you might follow Tim Crawford's lead and limit the space between staves. Interesting. Gilbert does it similarly. I would take care if you are using an automatic function that transcribes from tablature to keyboard notation. You will likely spend as much time correcting problems as you would transcribing from scratch. Frequent problems include mis-named notes (e.g., g-flat when you want f-sharp) and ridiculous problems in representations of voice leading, which is a very important point. You can choose whatever pitch standard you like. I've noticed that there will be some corrections in the standard notation to mach precisely the original. Nevertheless, I'll have to add my own thoughts on it instead of just transcribing it plain as Gilbert does. Regards.
