Jef —
If I’m understanding the issue clearly, my suggestion would be to use whichever
transposition keeps the notated keyboard part in the same written key as the
piano.
Keyboard and piano are the same performer, no? Then to me that would be easiest
for the player. Keeping it in the same key a
it is notated indeed transposed and that is part of the issue, but
not from the traditional standpoint. i can choose to transpose the
keyboard up or down, meaning a G3/4# in the score appears in the part
as:
1) A when the electronic keyboard is tuned down a quarter tone
2) G# when the electron
Sorry I just don't understand why you don't treat it like a transposing
instrument and just notate it as you would a trumpet or alto sax?

it is indeed bought tuned down.
the question is notation-related, has nothing to do with playback.
i'm trying to decide what is best in this context, so was wondering
if anyone else here has ever notated for 1/4-tone electronic
instruments and if there is any dis/advantage to transposing up vs
Sorry - I understand your question! I just don't understand what the notation
issue is unless it's related to playback in Finale?

Perhaps my question was misleading. While it is possible to get a tuner to tune
a vibraphone up or down a quarter tone, Jef's statement (it comes that way)
implied to me that the instrument was bought at that tuning and I was wondering
if this was in fact the case.

I might just not understand what the issue is here, but I don't understand what

Hi Jef,
No suggestion for you, but I am curious. Who makes vibes 1/4 tone lower? Or was
this a special tuning just for that one instrument?

yeah you are right, but this is a trio, not an ensemble or orchestral work.
the part will be written in half-tones (natural, sharps). the
question is whether there is any other factor than consistency (e.g.,
1/4-tone vibe and keyboard both transpose down) -- perhaps similitude
is a more appro
mmm, i assume you mean in the part. yeah the part will be "normal"
(no 1/4 tones), but my question is about something else :-)

I agree with this, and would just consider it a transposing instrument.

my guess would be, once it is established that the instrument is a quarter
tone detuned, normal notation would work the best.

Consistency? I think that's irrelevant; after all, in a regular
orchestra there are instruments in different keys, the transposing
instruments are not all in Bb, but since it is an electronic instrument
that is being retuned, there is no problem with strings snapping so I
think the decisive fa

haha yeah maybe that wasn't clear, it comes that way, so actually
tuned 1/4 lower than standard vibes
however, if you prefer it to be tuned higher, all you need is a file
and a lot of elbow grease ;-)

No suggestions, sorry, but how do you get a vibraphone tuned down a quarter
tone?

anyone have any preferences or suggestions about whether to transpose
up or down?
the musician plays piano as well as keyboard (most likely sitting on
the piano), the keyboard is tuned 1/4 tone away from the piano.
keyboard in the score is notated using 1/4 and 3/4 sharps (1/4 flats
used only
