On issues of notation, I always take everything jef says as if it was gospel.
However, a parenthesized courtesy accidental is a prime example of a notation
saying “this is not a typo” and a non-parenthesized one is similar. I sometimes

It will run fine. The biggest thing is that you need to have 10.10 as a
starting point.

Making statements like "always" seems pretty risky when it comes to music,
including common practice rep. I'm virtually certain common practice rep
has examples of 6/4 in the context of 4/4 as a way of extending a
particular bar. I just can't find one at the moment. :-(
Also, I don't imagine anyon

I don’t use parenthesized courtesy accidentals any more, either, because of
lack of legibility. Yet, even a non-parenthesized one is kind of a confirmation
of “yes this note is meant” since it would otherwise be superfluous.

Hi Steve,
The distinction is useful until it’s not.
If I have a fast piece in 2/2, conducted in 2, and then I need a bar that’s
elongated by a beat, I’m going to write a bar of 3/2, and conduct that bar in 3.
If I have a piece in 5/4, conducted in 5, and then I need a bar that’s

I actually 100% agree. If the stresses are not important then i would go 4/4 to

If the music is complex then even a minim pulse can be hemiola.
If I wanted to conduct the crotchets here, I would conduct a 6/4 pattern with

Robert,
I need your advice. I'm in the process of completing a 200 song compendium

in 2017), I'll need to merge the individual charts for a single document. This
is for the sole use of a retirement community, but the

What I would certainly do in your case is print them to PDF without page

can add page numbers (there are many free or cheap ones).

I do this sort of thing a lot, and have always used PageMaker or InDesign for
the final document, exporting from the individual Finale files via eps (in the
old days) or pdf (much better). If you don’t own this sort of page layout

I also agree, specially if the structure of the phrase is varied by the
extension of a motive or other smaller part within the musical phrase.
