Re: [Finale] OT: Vocal Underlay of "Mrs.:

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

I would consider using the word extension symbol; although it is intended for a melisma, it might point out the composer’s intention and, as Jennifer Higdon points out, the singer should be able to find the best placing. Giovanni Andreani www.giovanniandreani.com www.ga-music.com > On

"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

Re: [Finale] OT: Vocal Underlay of "Mrs.:

In “Me and Mrs. Jones” the publisher spells it “mis-sus”, which I am not sure about. I would have spelled it as “miss-es”, since it is pronounced the same as “hits and misses” with the last “s” voiced (“z”) and nobody has to question whether it’s actually unvoiced the way they would if you

Re: [Finale] OT: Vocal Underlay of "Mrs.:

[ Robert Patterson: ] FWIW (joking aside) my copy of Merriam Webster correctly identifies "missus" as dialect in one of the definitions, and I would rather avoid that implication. In that case, how would "Mr - s." go? But that might cause the singer to start pronouncing "Mister" -

Re: [Finale] OT: Vocal Underlay of "Mrs.:

Or, along the lines of my earlier idea: "Mrs." centered under the notes and "missus" or the dictionary spelling of the pronunciation in parentheses, right below. Wouldn't that avoid any sort of implication? On Tue, Aug 27, 2019 at 11:23 AM Robert Patterson < rob...@robertgpatterson.com> wrote:
