Yes--I've always found that cautionary and other redundant accidentals save 
more time than they take to make. Only been called on the carpet for them a 
couple times.

If you parenthesize the cautionary accidentals, you will NEVER be called 
on it by any serious musician.  The very best musicians appreciate the 
efforts of the composer/arranger/publisher to make them look good.

I can't count the number of times that good musicians have made bad 
entrances because an inept notation job that lacked simple things like 
double bars to denote the structure or had goofy (but mathematically 
correct) note durations.

2014-11-28 Thread Christopher Smith
We've had this discussion before, and I would just like to remind everyone that 
there is a valid dissenting opinion. I don't parenthesise courtesy accidentals 
any more, after having a whole slew of them misread in a bunch of fast-moving 
highly-chromatic passages. I understand why now; it's that putting parentheses 
around them gives every accidental the same shape, so they are easily confused 
in a fast passage. Even at the best of times, sharps and naturals are very 
close in shape, but jazz favouring flat keys helps avoid making that as big an 
issue. Most major publishers these days do not parenthesise courtesy 
accidentals either.

Really?

That surely isn't my experience.  I don't recall seeing any recently 
published music from a respected publishing house that does it that way.

I find that a non-parenthesized unnecessary accidental causes more 
errors than it avoids.  If the player's eyesight isn't perfect or the 
player is otherwise distracted, the presence of something tells the 
player that it sure isn't what the key signature indicates. The player 
may have to make a quick guess as to what the accidental most likely is 
-- and of course will be wrong 100% of the time because it wasn't a 
necessary marking.  I cuss the engraver every time they do that to me.

With courtesy accidentals, either parenthesize them or leave them out. 
Anything else is a hostile act, IMHO. It is hard enough to sight-read 
accidentals accurately without the engraver placing land mines in the way.
