There are a number of examples of this in Britten's operas -- not exactly au courant, but I've always found him to be a model of notational clarity. He used both "Missus" and "Mrs."; a quick flip through some scores shows more of the latter than the former. Aaron. On Mon, Sep 2, 2019 at 5:21

"Mis-sus" is the accepted spelling/syllabification in music and in text. There's also at least one movie title that uses it. It's not offensive (the dictionary's reference to "dialect" is not prohibitive or damning). If everyone refuses to accept a century of precedent, I have nothing further. On

It really depends on harmonic context and function. Was at a rehearsal the other day of Gene Puerling's "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and he used a similar voicing for the tonic chord at the end of a cadence--9th in the bass. Seems this is an example of where chord symbols fail. In most

From a jazz perspective, I would call it a C9sus4 chord, or Bb/C (these two symbols are considered to be interchangeable and mean the same chord function.) It’s a suspended dominant chord, where the suspensions don’t need to resolve, but sometimes they do, to a C7 or some other form of C7

A simple way of defining it would be B flat/C [B flat major with a C in the bass] or B flat major 2nd inversion, with C in the bass. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? David McKay On 23 March 2016 at 18:40, Marcello Noia wrote: > Hi, due to my huge lackness

I carry a full-sized keyboard with me, because the numeric keypad doesn’t have a Clear key, among other reasons. I also can work more ergonomically on the full-sized keyboard. Also a mouse. I am ever so much more comfortable with a mouse than with a trackpad. Your mileage may vary.
