So I am curious what this list thinks. You are writing a piece in A lydian
mode. Do you use four sharps in the key sig or do you use three sharps and
show the raised fourth as a chromatic alteration throughout the piece?
I recently encountered this situation in some contemporary church music. I
The standard way is to use a major key signature for modes with a major third
in them, and minor key signatures for modes with a minor third. So A lydian
would use 3 sharps and have every D sharp manually altered with an accidental,
as you thought.
The only exceptions I've seen are things like
I don't like the use of modal key signatures. I feel that most of us are
conditioned to think in a particular key, in other words, A Major being three
sharps. So if you're hearing the key as A Major, but the key signature is four
sharps, you might miss the D#. I'd rather have it written in,
Given your situation I think that it will be best to use 3 sharps in the
key signature and use the D# as an accidental -- this makes it clear
that the A is the tonic and that the D# will be an alteration from what
the musicians might otherwise expect to hear/play/sing.

I have a friend who needs a copyist for a set of 5 villancicos (carols), the
longest of which is 7 parts and 244 measures, the others between 100 and 200
bars. I don’t know for sure but I suspect they are choral with, ugh, lyrics.

Dear Ms. Shelley Huston,
I can offer assistance with note entry and lyrics in English if someone wants
to share the work.
How soon do these need to be finished?

I hope someone can help me - I'm having trouble with my installation of
F2014.
I downloaded the trial and then decided to upgrade. I paid my money and
activated the installation but didn't read the instructions properly :-(
and so wasn't getting access to the Garritan Music files.
On advice from
Frank,
I just looked at the Garritan section of the finale music.com website yesterday
and clicked on the Garritan tab in the upper right section.
