May 10	comment	Transcribing a Standard MIDI File to sheet music If you're on a Mac, I believe `GarageBand` can do that. I'm not 100% sure though.
May 5	comment	tempo: “Andante allegro” vs “Allegro moderato” You can't give a MM of a tempo marking; it depends on how long the notes are.
May 5	comment	Suggestions for comprehensive books about the history of music? A nice video about the last 400 years of musical history by the King's Singers: youtube.com/watch?v=JXhAz0DOpMU
May 5	comment	Fingering for octaves on the piano I don't know how big your hands are, but I can use 3-1 with scales too. That makes playing octave scales legato a lot easier where there are two white keys next to eachother.
May 5	comment	Fingering for octaves on the piano As for the brutality of playing the Erlkönig, in my Bärenreiter edition the appendix contains a second edition ('Zweite Fassung', not sure if that's correctly translated) with eighth notes instead of triplets (?).
May 5	comment	strange fingering in moonlight sonata A good answer overall (+1), but I want to add that there is a difference in sound between pedal legato and finger legato.
Apr 23	comment	How to play a song without making mistakes? Another reason 'practice makes perfect' is a lie because you can't play something 'perfect'. Partly because music is very subjective; there is simply no 'right' way to play a piece, partly because we are humans (I hope).
Nov 25	comment	Is it better to have one large resonating chamber, or multiple sub-chambers? How do you define 'better'? Louder, nicer sound (subjective!) etc.
Nov 25	comment	Piano mordent with two notes Wow, I didn't know that, thanks for learning me something. If you edit your answer I can lift my downvote and give you an upvote. (I might forget to check back, so you could notify me by comment when you have edited the answer.) @Babu

Nov 24	comment	Piano mordent with two notes I believe this is a trillo, and not a mordent. A mordent would look the same, only with a vertical line over the centre.
Nov 5	comment	What is good software for learning how to sight-read? Nope, you can hear a wrong note in scales, or tonal chords, even if you don't see and know the score (okay, not always). At least I can.
Nov 3	comment	Quickly flip a page of sheet music while playing `3. ... (this one can wait)` with that username?
Nov 3	comment	Quickly flip a page of sheet music while playing And what about just learn to play it without the notes? This does not alone solve the problem of page turning, but it makes it easier to listen to yourself, which, in turn, gives you the opportunity to play more musically.
Nov 3	comment	What is good software for learning how to sight-read? I hope you can hear you played the wrong notes. At least if you're playing tonal music... @slim
Oct 29	comment	What are some objective ways to measure improvement as a singer? Music can't be looked at objective, some people like things other people don't, so apart from pure technical questions, which can be measured objectively, ask a teacher for instance, things don't need to be objective. But when you like your tone more then the previous day (while technically you do everything right and don't damage your voice) you have made progress, although one could call that subjective.
Oct 29	comment	How to write partitures for an orchesta I'm 15 yet, so I can still develop it!
Oct 29	comment	How to write partitures for an orchesta @Luke sorry for my crappy English!
Oct 29	comment	How to write partitures for an orchesta In Dutch, the German term is used: `Stichnoten`.
Oct 29	comment	How to write partitures for an orchesta Your guess is right, only sometimes there are really tiny notes from another instrument just before the start of that score's instrument that help him/her to find his start.
