My main instrument is the trumpet, I have classical training but switched to jazz 10 years ago. I play in a big band, and a funk-pop band.
I can play some piano, and find my way around on a guitar.
I like typography (including music notation), and music theory.

Building complex chords from Complex figured bass @ogerard: uh, I though the root was E♭. If the root is C, C° works as well. Same chord, different root. C°, E♭°, G♭° and A° are inversions of the same chord, that's what I meant. (if you don't care about the actual name of the notes, got you point about enharmonic.) |

Building complex chords from Complex figured bass @ogerard: I had never seen dimdim. I'd have written E♭-G♭-B♭♭-c as E♭°. All inversions of this chord are also dim chords in their first inversion, so why give 6 over 5 in that case? dimdim alone would give the exact same result... |

What's the difference between a G♭ and an F#? Also worth noting: one spelling might be better read vertically while the other better horizontally. For example in a choir piece featuring an F# major triad, the voice singing the third might prefer seeing a Bb, while it should functionally be a A#. I wonder if there is some kind of best practice in these cases. If the parts are printed separately I would prefer the horizontally readable solution. In a choir print where all singers have all parts, I'm not so sure. |

What's the difference between a G♭ and an F#? Sorry if I was unclear, transposing instruments is what I was referring to. It feels like people write everything in concert, then auto-transpose the winds that need it and press print. I have only an old version of Sibelius, but it was definitely not so smart then. |

When learning a piece, concentrate on playing the beginning really well or the whole piece the same? +1, this is also a nice way of learning a piece by heart. |

Quickly flip a page of sheet music while playing agreed. I did not make the rules at the school. There was no discussing them :) |
