i think it *does* require explanation, it is certainly not self-evident. but you can get away with not explaining it in a legend because there is a surrounding context within which the musician can deduce its sense. but imagine the symbol in a non-metered and solistic situation, e.g., variou

Alignment is not an issue. The noteheads continue to align exactly as they do now. You just have to make more room for accidentals on the left. So you think Crumb invented it? On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 8:46 AM, SN jef chippewa < shirl...@newmusicnotation.com> wrote: > > i would never use this nota

One of the notation innovations that George Crumb uses is a left-augmentation-dot to create a single note value that fills a 5/4 bar. That is, a whole note with an augmentation dot on both the left and the right. I suppose the logic is that the one on the right adds a half and the one on the left t
