The general rule, set forth for example in the chapter on the NBA in Bärenreiter's Editionsrichtlinien (latest edition: Bärenreiter 2000), is that _all_ additions by the editor should be clearly designated as such. This means _cursive_ for added text, dotted slurs [in my humble opinion

in a new orch work (new music played by an orch experienced with new music), there is no need today to mention that regardless of clef the transposition is down a 5th, correct? i.e. the up/down in treble/bass clef is to be considered old school and the horn players will assume the modern

Bounces are epidemic on this list, so I genuinely doubt that it has to do with any individual's settings. I'm not on enough lists to guess how common this problem is, but for as long as I can remember I've been reading answers to questions I've never received. With a little luck one finds

In German, Russian and many other languages, italic fonts are known as cursive (German: Kursiv, Russian: Курсив (Kursiv)). Eric does not mean a handwriting font. FYI, italic fonts are historically based on Italian cursive scripts. Andrew On 11 March 2010 21:53, dhbailey

I agree with those saying to put a written instruction in the score. The player will likely infer wrongly if your part is low enough to go below the staff. An example is the Rochberg Trio for cl, hn, pno. The horn part rarely switches to bass clef, but when it does it is for extremely low notes

Use a page offset to change the page numbers. Change the layout of the Finale page that will be the first page. Don't delete anything. You'll have to force full staff names on that system but that's easy to do. Cheers, - DJA - WEB: http://www.secretsocietymusic.org On 11 Mar 2010, at 4:24

Of course I meant to write italic (=german kursiv). The problem is, see, sometimes when you're writing/thinking fast, the part of the brain responsible for keeping languages separate from each other tends to short out, and you get mixtures like this without you even being aware of them ...

Speaking of copyists slavishly following score clef changes; I'm playing a few Szymanowski pieces (from the 20's and 30's) this weekend with the orchestra. In one passage, the second part is notated in bass clef old notation as D on the middle line. This is the same as treble clef D above middle
